The 15 Best Musandam Fjord Cruises

1.Khasab Musandam Full Day dhow cruise with lunch and Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 186 reviews · from $50Our pick

Review of the Khasab Musandam dhow cruise, with fjord views, dolphin spotting, snorkeling, Omani lunch, pickup, price, and practical tips.

“Una giornata speciale attraverso questa meravigliosa esperienza! Una giornata dove abbiamo potuto avvistare i delfini, fare due soste per lo snorkeling e pranzare tutti insieme sul dhow. Gli organizzatori sono preziosi e super disponibili. Il nostro volo Muscat-Khasab era in ritardo, ma siamo rimasti in contatto via whatsapp e ci hanno aspettato permettendoci di fare l'escursione. La ciliegina sulla torta è il transfer (gratuito) dall'aeroporto o dall'hotel in cui si pernotta al porto per la crociera in dhow (e ovviamente anche il rientro a fine giornata). Un'esperienza davvero eccezionale che super consiglio!”

There were only 4 guests on the dhow on Wednesday 12 June so it was practically a private cruise. We saw lots of wild dolphins and plentiful of fish and swam amongst them on the two swimming stops. it's a very peaceful cruise and will do it again when we are back out in September!”

Saw pods of dolphins and many followed our dhow as we raced with them. There was also a mama and baby dolphin who followed us for a long time. Would highly recommend this tour with this particular tour company. Dolphin tour.”
