Full Day Fjords of Musandam Dhow Cruise Snorkel and Lunch

Discover the splendors of Oman on this one-of-a-kind day trip to the Fjords of the Musandam aboard a traditional Omani dhow. This full-day excursion treats your senses to the breathtaking beauty of Musandam, complete with ancient settlements, pristine waters, and a rich marine life, all while you relax on luxurious carpets and cushions.

Your voyage begins at the bustling Khasab port cruise terminal, where we whisk you to our dhow harbor. From here, the dhow glides past the majestic Khor Shem, a 17 km long fjord, offering perfect spots for snorkeling and swimming amidst the reflection of mountains on crystal clear waters.

We journey to the quaint Nadafi, a fishing village of about 50 residents. Accessible only by boat, this secluded haven spotlights the rustic charm of Oman. Onward, we visit Qanaha, with centuries-old stone houses camouflaging against the cliffs, providing a historic line of defense.

Also on the itinerary is Sham, another fishing village with a population of just 50, and Maqlab, a mountain village housing 10 goat-herding and fishing families. Telegraph Island marks our next stop. Historically significant as the site where the first telegraph cable was laid in 1864 by the British, it's also a snorkeling paradise. Here, amidst the vibrant coral growth, witness groupers and butterfly fish in their natural habitat.

We anchor at Telegraph Island for an hour to allow you to explore the underwater world while a scrumptious buffet lunch is served onboard. Our last stop for the day is Seebi Island, located at the fjord's end. Home to about 60 residents and numerous nesting sea birds, the island is another snorkeling spot that brings you closer to the naval life of Oman.

Your comfort and safety are paramount - life jackets and towels are at your disposal. Keep a lookout for playful dolphins that often prance around in these waters. This tour offers a mix of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Reserve your spot today!
