As the sun goes down, the city lights up - What a beautiful relaxing evening this was, Muscat is a stunning coastline of cultural and natural feasts, when the sun goes down, the city lights up and so do the Omani Pirate boats we sailed on.

unforgettable experience - I had an unforgettable experience on the historical sunset tour with Qtours! The team was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the history come alive as we explored stunning sites. The sunset views were breathtaking, perfectly timed to enhance the beauty of the landmarks we visited. The guides were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to combine history with a truly magical sunset. Thank you, Qtours, for an exceptional evening!

Relaxing sunset trip - A very nice tour along the corniche of Muscat. Captain Bilal knows the best places to stop for sunset. You can disengage from everyday life and unwind.

Dolphins during sunset :-) - Cruising along the coast with only seven guests - great. Nice views of Muscat's coastline including forts and palaces. Racing after and seeing dolphins play - marvellous. Very well spent to hours.

Full-day tour with watersports activities and sunset tour - We went on tour for a full day on a private beach with water sports activities (sofa boat, banana boat, kayak, and parasailing) and we saw the sunset on our end. It was an amazing tour with a professional company, thank you so much for an amazing moment and we will coming back again. Highly recommend 👏👏

Muscat landmarks from sea - The tour was in a traditional dhow boat with nice knowledge shared by the host and captain. Refreshments on board included water, soft drinks, dates and coffee. Overall a nice experience and a different view point to seeing Muscat land marks and get a little history lesson as well. Note that this gives you a view of the monuments from the sea, no entries are part of the tour.

Nothing special! - Is a very normal trip...they are going to show just a small part of the city. Just few explanations from the capitan I don t recommend it actually.

Not suitable for aged people and young kids - Not so good experience with family, had aged people in the group and captain Bilal was not bothered, he was doing some driving the boat fast and doing some acrobatics which scared the aged people on the boat. Boat was also over crowded with no proper protection or safety. Tour is not ideal for aged and people who have hypertensive or heart issues, people should be warned before accepting this booking. Never in the details it is mentioned that it is not suitable for elderly people or people with hypertension and heart issues.
