    Discover one of the jewels of Oman, the Dimaniyat Islands, on a boat tour from Muscat. Snorkel in a beautiful, UNESCO-protected nature reserve and admire the abundant sea life. Begin your day with pickup anywhere in Muscat before the Al Seeb area and transfer to the marina for the 70-kilometer (43.5-mile) journey northwest to the Dimaniyat Islands. Onboard, enjoy the scenic views of Muscat and the coastline, as well as unlimited soft drinks and water. Once at the Dimaniyat Islands, explore the nature reserve and stop in two different places for snorkeling.

    I loved the trip - pick up was on time. Island was lovely. First snorkelling spot had such rich marine life - saw turtles as well and so many colourful fishes. Then, we moved to 2nd snorkelling spot + beach. Packed food was offered that was sufficient and well thought through. Overall, great trip!

    Die Tour war super. Die Abholung vor dem Hafentor hat problemlos funktioniert. Dann ging es ca. 15 Minuten entlang der Küste zum Hafen, wo das Ausflugsboot lag. Um 08:30 Uhr ging die Fahrt mit dem Boot los. Auf dem Weg zur Insel hat der Fahrer Delfine ausfindig gemacht. An der Insel haben wir beim Schnorcheln Schildkröten gesehen und zahlreiche farbenfrohe exotische Fische. Auf dem Rückweg ist der Fahrer an der Küste entlanggefahren und hat uns auf einige seeseitige Sehenswürdigkeiten hingewiesen. Es gab ein Lunchpaket und reichlich alkoholfreie Getränke. Die Tour war mein Highlight der Aida Kreuzfahrt. Wer gerne Boot fährt und schnorchelt, sollte hier dabei sein. Eine wasserfeste Kamera sorgt für tolle Erinnerungen.

    Sehr netter Guide, zudem hat man alles gesehen was angepriesen wurde (Delfine, Schildkröten, usw.) Der Guide hat uns von sich aus noch ein paar Interessante Spots entlang der Küste gezeigt und hatte sich nochmal Zeit genommen und uns diese zu zeigen. Verpflegung war durch das Riesen Lunchpaket auch gesichert. Ein sehr schöner Ausflug!
