Spend half a day at the Daymaniyat Islands, a protected nature reserve off the coast of Muscat. Your boat leaves from Seeb Marina and the crossing takes only about 25–30 minutes, so more of your time is spent in the water.
Each day the captain picks two snorkeling and swimming stops based on sea conditions, water clarity, and marine life. Many guests see sea turtles, colorful reef fish and corals, but wildlife is never guaranteed. From 1 November to 30 April you also get about 45–60 minutes on an island beach.
Choose the morning trip (08:30–12:30) or the afternoon trip (13:30–17:30).
We keep shared trips to about 12–16 guests. First-timers, children, and non-swimmers are welcome: everyone wears a life jacket, the crew gives a short briefing, and a crew member gets in the water with anyone who wants help. Mask, snorkel, fins, reserve permits, sandwiches, snacks and drinks are included.
Seeb Marina, Muscat. No hotel pickup: come by taxi, ride-hailing app or car (free parking). Arrive 15 min early: 08:15 for the 08:30 trip, 13:15 for the 13:30 trip. We send our WhatsApp number after booking. The boat returns to Seeb Marina (about 12:30 / 17:30); you make your own way back.
The boat ride from Seeb Marina to the reserve takes about 25–30 minutes. Once there, the captain chooses two snorkeling and swimming stops based on the day's sea conditions, water clarity, and marine life. Sea turtles, reef fish and corals are often seen, but wildlife is never guaranteed. Between stops, sandwiches, snacks, water and soft drinks are served on the shaded boat. From 1 November to 30 April, the trip also includes about 45–60 minutes on an island beach. From May to October, the beaches are closed, so the whole trip stays on the water.
