Your adventure begins at the designated meeting point, where you'll be transferred to our boat. From there, enjoy a scenic 45-minute ride to the stunning Daymaniyat Islands. Depending on the season, you may have the chance to disembark and explore the island on foot. (Note: Island access is only permitted from November to April due to turtle nesting season. Outside this period, tours still operate with snorkeling around the islands. Snorkeling gear is provided, and while you're enjoying the water, we’ll serve light refreshments including sandwiches, fresh fruits, juice, and bottled water. After your underwater adventure, sit back and relax on the return 45-minute boat ride to the port and meeting point. If we’re lucky, we may encounter dolphins or even whale sharks along the way — our guide will pause the trip so you can enjoy these incredible sightings.

The Daymaniyat Islands are a UNESCO-listed marine nature reserve made up of nine uninhabited islands, located 16–20 km off the coast of Muscat. Known for their crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, they are one of Oman’s top snorkeling and diving destinations. The reefs support rich marine life, including reef sharks, rays, colorful tropical fish, and endangered green and hawksbill turtles. The islands also serve as nesting grounds for migratory seabirds. Beach landings are restricted from May to October to protect nesting turtles, but snorkeling and diving are permitted year-round. With depths of 20–25 meters, the area offers ideal visibility for underwater photography and marine encounters. Whether you're a nature lover, diver, or casual snorkeler, the Daymaniyat Islands promise a breathtaking eco-adventure in one of Oman’s most biologically diverse protected areas.
