Khasab Private Dhow Cruise to Telegraph Island

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This experience is a private dhow cruise, meaning the boat is reserved exclusively for you and your group — no shared spaces, no fixed crowd schedules, and a relaxed pace throughout the trip. You’ll explore the Musandam Fjords from Khasab aboard a traditional Omani dhow, combining authentic local charm with comfort and privacy.

Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this cruise focuses on natural dolphin encounters, a dedicated snorkeling and swimming stop at Telegraph Island, and personalized onboard service. With flexible morning or afternoon departures, refreshments included, and time to relax or explore at your own comfort, this tour is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic yet exclusive Musandam experience in a shorter time frame.
