Wow wow wow!!! Shortly After Take off we saw the First Dolphins. We had low expectations because somebody told us it would be too hot for the Dolphins - so They would hide in the Deep water. But the whole boat was surrounded by Dolphins. We Even saw 2 different species (small and big). If I had to guess - at least 50-60 Dolphins. It was such a Special experience! When we arrived at the snorkeling Spot we could already See 2 turtles swimming around. We saw Lots of Fishes and about 7 turtles. We Were able to float directly over them. Our Guide was super Nice and took Great pictures of us. This was our First Trip Booked over get your Guide and it was a success!

It was absalutely amazing . We were lucky to see the Dolphins . It took us about 45-50 min to get into the sea and search for them . I thought we will not find them , but we did it and it was an absolutely fantastic feeling 🥰🥰 For those one who have seasick it is not really recommended to take the tour on a windy days , cause it is very waiving, on the way back is was raining and we got high waivs . It was a bit scary. But it does not happen often in Oman , so no worries 😂 by the way , you are not dividing to dolphins, just watching. After u see dolphins you get a spot , where u may snorkel and watch the turtles. I saw 3 turtles and was very happy . You get enough time for everything))
