4 hours in Dibba - 5 Stars - It was a pretty nice trip. Well organised transfer: minivan pickup from the hotel and than a normal touristic bus. Group was ~40 ppl. Friendly and competent group's guide.
Upon boarding and during all the trip water, juices and fresh fruits were available.
Boat departed 10:50 and arrived to the small bay in 30 minutes.
In this bay all activities were provided: Speed boat ride, banana ride, snorkelling around the bay and kayaking.
Than lunch (delicious: veggies, chicken, beef, fish, soft drinks see photo).
Highly recommend to order BBQ Shrimps (langoustine) for 35dhs extra, this will help guys on the boat to earn some money.
After lunch final swimming and departure to the limestone cave.
After the cave short stop ~20 mins in the sea for a fishing experience and departure back to the port.
Very professional and nice team both on the boat and on the ground.
But remember, your experience will also depend on the group (fortunately we had a very nice one).
The road takes approx. 4 hrs each side and it can be exhausting

A very nice cruise! - The cruise was superb! The views are incredible, the water a blue lagoon and the boat comfortable and spacious!
Several activities included: banana boat, speed boat and canoe kayak or you can simply swim!
The included meal is really hearty and very good and drinks are offered throughout the cruise (water, juice, coffee, tea) + fruit:)
The road is a bit exhausting especially on the way back but it was worth it!
I recommend!

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.

See Oman in spite of the border hassles - The border crossings are time consuming and frustrating---four stamps (leave UAE, enter Oman, leave Oman, enter UAE), and at the pace and whim of border efficiency or lack thereof. The ride to the UAE exit is over 2 hours long. Prepare for a long ride home too. The Oman setting is extraordinary once you are there---take advantage of each opportunity offered on the water (kayak, snorkel, speed boat, banana boat).

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.

Very disappointing and in some cases, just outright negligent - Lots of messing around with multiple pick ups and drop offs at hotels as well as border control meant you’re spending 4 hours on the transit there alone.
Massively underwhelming in the drinks options (1 mini can of pepsi at “lunch” when it’s crazy hot isn’t enough and no option to get more).
Very basic tour and disappointing how polluted the “bay” was we docked in.
No regaed for any health and safety once anchored with the speed boat taking literal babies onboard and speeding through the areas in which people were meant to swim.
