Great Day Off from Dubai Hazzle
raith
, Feb 2020
First of all: it is a long way, 2 hours from Dubai Marina to the border, and another 45 min (including border formalities) to the port of Khasab. But the traffic was not so bad as some people described. We had full six hours on the boat. The weather was great, so we could enjoy swimming in the azure blue water. We have seen lots of dolphins. Don´t expect them jumping, but they come up. The landscape with rugges mountains, sometimes more than 900 m towering above the water, the bluegreen sea, picturesque dhows and sometimes lonely villages is just breathtaking. We had a lunch with chicken, rice and vegetables and always delicious tea. The guide was from Egypt and spoke German and English. All together a very relaxing trip, take care of the sun!

So glad we booked this trip! Viator was very easy to work with/through. The drive is long, but we appreciated our driver picking us up at our hotel, and navigating Customs for all of us. The dhow cruise and crew were very good, and made for an enjoyable experience.

Long Way from Dubai, but worth the drive
Curtis S
, Oct 2019
This was one of several Viator tours we took during our week in Dubai. We were staying in the Marina district and our driver picked us up right in front of our apartment building. It was a 2.5h trip to the port where the boat departed. Our drivers (Hamad) command of English wasn't great, but we were able to communicate effectively. Hamad pointed out sites of interest and relayed pertinent info about the areas we were driving through. He provided bathroom breaks and some photo ops on the way. Traveling to Oman required a passport check at the border, which was relatively painless and well handled by Hamad. The scenery changes as you get closer to Khasab. We went from the Glitz of new Dubai, through the desert, into the mountains, and then to the water. We were part of a small group (12 people) on the Dhow. There was a bathroom on the boat. The boat trip lasted several hours, plying a sizable bay that almost connects to Gulf of Oman. We enjoyed the nice breeze off the water (thankfully, as it was pretty warm), the appearance of dolphins, and a couple stops to snorkel. A lunch of local cuisine was provided (quite delicious) and plenty of beverages available (but no alcohol). The boatmen were quite helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They even let one of our party drive the boat for a little bit. It was a good excursion, unlikely available anywhere else in the world obviously, and I would recommend it.

Great excursion
afordfoster
, Jul 2019
This was a fantastic excursion, through starkly beautiful Oman. The boat ride was so enjoyable. We saw dolphins including a baby and the places that we stopped to snorkel the water was crystal clear. We had a small group, only 10 on the boat, so it didn't seem super touristy. The fjord that we actually went into is virtually deserted. There is little to no boat traffic. It was like being in a different world. Lunch was quite good, and there was plenty of water and soda and juice drinks to combat the heat. I highly recommend the peach juice drink. There were two crew members the captain and an assistant, and they were very warm and welcoming. My only complaint, which has been echoed another post, is it this is not a 9-hour trip from Dubai. It takes a solid 3 1/2 to 4 hours to get to Khasab from Dubai, depending on other pickups and the time through customs. That would not deter me from going again, but it's important that people know that the it's not just an hour and a half drive in the morning and an hour and a half in the afternoon. We left our hotel in downtown Dubai at 6:15 a.m. and returned back just before 8:00 p.m.

a great leisurely trip. The transfer from Dubai to Al Khasab takes about 3 hours. Then you participate in a 6 hour show cruise around a fjord in the Munsandam peninsula, have to opportunity to swim and snorkle twice the water is very transparent and there's an abundance of fish, drink some coffee/tea, eat a tasty lunch and in general relax.

Great excursion, prompt pick up in quality vehicle. Our guide Mr Hamada was very polite and stayed with us for the duration of the excursion, he ensured we had access to quality facilities toilets/shop The trip was a full day taking into account the 2 hour vehicle transfer each way from Dubai. The staff on the boat were informative and the buffet was good quality, I am vegetarian and there was sufficient to eat.
