Nice and highly recommend for anyone looking for a family getaway at Oman's unique Musandam experience. - Overall we were satisfied with the beauty of the location. From the beginning, Hassan was main WA contact with speedy replies. Owing to Oman regulations he immediately informed us that we might need to postphone our trip. Though we were disappointed to miss it (as we planned for it on our first day of arrival), he reassured us and provided next available option even though it was 2 am. Once we got confirmation that the borders were open again, we arranged for the next availability (thankfully we were staying in Dubai for 8 days). There is a stopover from a pickup bus to a main bus at the gas station which was comfortable (as it was a long travel to Oman from Dubai). The visa entry was relatively easy as we do not need to get off the bus upon arrival (but have to on return). The cruise was spacious and the staff were gracious and friendly. Food was simple (remember to eat while hot) and great that they offered hot tea/coffee drinks as the weather was very chilly especially after swim. The staff were great as they gave us good insights on the trip and what to try or look out. There was speedboat ride to a nearby beach. Just remember to wear your slippers as walking there meant you have to walk over sharp stones.

Amazing Tour - The tour was excellent! The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and the boat exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort – much better than we had imagined. The crew was extremely kind and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. We have nothing but praise for the entire team!
The only point of attention was the food. We are not big fans of Indian cuisine, but we understand that this is a personal preference and not a major issue. However, it might be worth considering offering some options on the menu that are more familiar to Western tourists, ensuring an even more satisfying dining experience for everyone.
Other than that, we loved the tour and would definitely recommend it!
Thank you very much!

It was alright. They took good care of us but the trip it self wasn’t that great. - There were a lot of elements on the trip: fishing, Banana-boat, going to a beach, BBQ and swimming.
We felt extremely rushed when: Fishing , banana-boat and going to a beach.

Manage Expectations and you'll have a nice day! - All in all, my friend and I had a good day!
The landscape was beautiful, the weather was also great, the crew were lovely and the lunch provided was really delicious! The breadth of activities and flexibility in the programme was also very nice, the transport worked well and the communication from the provider has been on point too.
However, there were a few things that we had imagined differently. For example, there was a lack of safety instructions for any of the activities and the boat itself. There was also no life ring or floating device in the water and the speed boat kept on passing relatively close to the swimmers forming lots of waves. So, if you're a confident swimmer, no problem, but it did feel a little uncomfortable from time to time.
I personally was most looking forward to the snorkelling activity, however, was disappointed because the masks were quite torn, leaking water inside and they did not have fins in my size. I have provided this feedback to the operator as well and they said they are looking into the snorkelling equipment, so hopefully this won't be an issue for people in the future.
All in all, it was still a nice day and my friend and I enjoyed ourselves, it was just not quite as expected!

Overcrowded, poorly organized, and disappointing experience - Unfortunately, the trip did not meet our expectations at all. We had specifically booked a tour for a maximum of 10-15 people but ended up in an overcrowded bus with around 60 passengers. The boats were also packed with about 35 people, which significantly impacted the experience. On top of that, a partying group made so much noise that it was impossible to enjoy the nature. The organization was disappointing as well: the changing room was not lockable, and the toilet was flooded. Overall, a very disappointing experience – not recommended.
