★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,317 reviews · 4h 30m · from $86Our pick

Review of Muscat’s Daymaniat Islands snorkeling trip, with turtles, coral, boat travel, brunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Great trip, well worth doing. Got to see lots of fish and a group of turtles. On the island is beautiful, managed to see lots more animals there too if you look in the right places like eels. Life jackets were provided as an option, snorkelling gear was good but as with all snorkelling equipment they can come with their minor issues. Sandwiches and watermelon was provided. Directions to the actual meeting point could be better provided but other than that great trip!”
