Amazing crew on board! This was my second time going on a trip with them, but this time, I got to share the experience with my husband and our 15-month-old baby. We had such a wonderful time! The ride was safe and smooth, the island views were beautiful, and we absolutely enjoyed swimming. Captain Mel and the crew, Romeo and Liberty, were exceptional! They were very accommodating and guided us throughout the trip. They even joined us in the water, helped us spot turtles and sharks, and captured lovely videos of the experience. There's also a kayak available for use, which was another fun addition! A special mention to Sheima at the front desk, who assisted us with our booking. She was equally accommodating and helpful. Thank you to the whole team for making this such a fun, safe, and memorable experience for our little family. Highly recommended! ❤️

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Blue Whale Company on our Daymaniyat Islands snorkelling trip! From start to finish, everything was excellent. The boat was great, the equipment was well-maintained and of good quality, and we felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip. A special mention to Sheima, who organised the trip for us and made everything so easy and seamless from the very beginning. Her help and attention to detail were much appreciated. We would also like to give a special mention to the captain, who was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. His professionalism and focus on safety made the experience even more enjoyable and reassuring. The entire boat crew were friendly, welcoming and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a wonderful time. It was a truly memorable experience, and we couldn't have asked for better service. We highly recommend Blue Whale Company to anyone looking to explore the beautiful Daymaniyat Islands. Thank you to Sheima, the captain and the whole team for such a fantastic trip! We would definitely go with you again.
This is an incredible trip! Guides Lee and Mel were brilliant. We saw stingray, Shark and of course, turtles 🐢, an absolute highlight of our trip! Our boys 9yr and 11yrs loved it and lunch was really nice, highly recommend 👌.
We had an amazing time snorkelling at the Dimaniyat Islands with Blue Whale Oman! From the boat ride to the snorkelling equipment and refreshments, everything was well organised, and the crew made the entire trip enjoyable and safe. A special shoutout to Captain Mel for making us feel comfortable throughout the journey, and to our guides Romeo and Lee, for ensuring we felt safe and well looked after in the water. Both the snorkelling spots were incredible, and we were lucky to see so much marine life. We’d also like to thank Sheima the coordinator, for making the booking process seamless and ensuring we received all our GoPro footage afterwards. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a wonderful team. Highly recommend Blue Whale Oman to anyone planning a trip to the Dimaniyat Islands!
⚓ Captain Romio made our Daymaniyat trip unforgettable! 🐢 Incredible snorkeling with Blue Whale – Captain Romio is the best! ⭐ Top-notch tour out of Al Mouj Marina with Captain Romio We had an incredible day touring the Daymaniyat Islands with Blue Whale Boat Tourism out of Al Mouj Marina. A special shoutout to Captain Romio, who went above and beyond for us throughout the entire trip. He was attentive, friendly, and truly helped us with every single need we had—from ensuring everyone felt safe in the water to showing us the absolute best spots for snorkeling with sea turtles and marine life. The boat was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with gear, cold drinks, and fresh snacks. Captain Romio’s hospitality made a great trip even better. Highly recommend booking with Blue Whale when visiting Muscat.
It was an amazing experience 🙌🏼
An amazing trip, with an amazing teM - we wnjoyed every second of it and will definitely be back! Thank you so much ❤️
They were all greate and wonderful lovely kind people which helped me so much,although I had problems .but they helped me very well Mel, Lee, Romeo and Sheima 🩵
I booked a private snorkeling trip with Blue Whale Oman for my wife, our two daughters, and our son, and they came back telling me it was one of the best experiences they had ever had. They had the incredible opportunity to swim with whale sharks and later with turtles around the beautiful Dimaniyat Islands. They were so excited about the experience that they begged me to book the same trip for them again the very next day — which I happily did! They also had wonderful things to say about the crew and especially their lady guide. Everyone was friendly, professional, helpful, and made them feel comfortable throughout the experience. For my family to want to repeat the exact same trip the following day says everything. A truly unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of their time in Oman. Highly recommended!
We booked a private snorkeling trip and had such a great experience! 🤍 The service was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They provided snacks, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cold drinks throughout the trip. They also took lots of beautiful photos of us, which was such a nice touch. The boat was very clean and comfortable, and everything was well organized. Excellent service from start to finish — definitely won’t be our last trip with them! Highly recommended 🐢🌊✨
Excelente tour! Gentle and professional guide Lii.
Friendly staff, loved the experience, everything was perfect!
Lee and Mel were fantastic hosts. Lee directed us to all the right spots to see turtles and blacktop sharks. Highly recommend.
Nice experience. The Place Is amazing and we had the chance to see the Shark whale. The guides provided all the equipment for snorkeling and helped us to enjoy the visit. kind and thoughtful.
Amazing Experience, they really care about all details. They made everything easy and clean. They took us to the Islands in a very good boat, they offer us a lot of food and drinks, the stuff was so kind. In there they ensure we had a good experience. They look for the tortoise and the whale shark and they guide us to see them. Amazing Really appreciate that
Such a wonderful, fun-filled experience from start to finish! Ley and Romy were fantastic — friendly, warm, and made everything feel special. Snorkeling with the turtles was truly magical, unlike anything I’ve done before. Highly recommend — ask for Ley and Romy! 🐢🤿.
An unforgettable experience in the heart of the Sea of Oman: the enchanting Daymaniyat Islands! Looking for the perfect weekend getaway that combines relaxation and adventure?

This was my second time going aboard with Blue Whale Oman Crew, and the crew never fails to give me a reason to come back again for another trip! This was such a marvelous experience which I’ll never forget. Sheima, Romeo, Mel& Le, Thank you so much and I hope to see you soon again.
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team was professional, welcoming, and made the whole trip enjoyable. Thank you Sheima, Mel, Romeo, and Lee. Can’t wait to dive with you again! 🤿✨💙
We went with Mel and Lee and this was without a doubt an amazing experience They are amazing seamen and took care of us really well, beautiful characters and very competent and professional Highly recommend sailing with them for a wonderful snorkelling experience
We had an amazing trip to the Daymaniyat Islands and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Oman. The water was crystal clear, the scenery was breathtaking, and the snorkeling experience was unforgettable with so much marine life to see. What made the trip even more special was the incredible staff. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout the entire experience. Their friendliness and positive attitude created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone on board. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and you could really tell the team cared about making sure guests had a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Oman and looking for a beautiful day out in nature!
In February, my father, brother, and I visited the Ad Dimaniyat islands with tour operator Blue Whale. Everything was very well organized; there was a diverse selection of food and drinks, and the snorkeling was amazing. We were also allowed to explore the islands, and while my father was sunbathing on the beach, my brother and I could canoe around the islands. Blue Whale hadn't forgotten my brother's birthday either and had even provided a personalized birthday cake. I was so fascinated by the islands afterwards that I decided to conduct research for a project at my university, and Blue Whale helped me and my group members a great deal with this. It is a very good organization with excellent service and very friendly staff and thank you very much for helping us with our research. Best regards, Matilde, Elja, Nina, and Brecht
Amazing trip, 10/10. The captain and Lee the tour guide and instructor were both super helpful, took some incredible pictures and all in all was an amazing day out. Met with the owner of blue whale, very humble and friendly individual who kindly dropped me off to my hotel aswell. I have not gone with other tour operators so can't compare, but I can assure you blue whale are an amazing tour provider to go with and you will not be disappointed!
Amazing experience to Dimaniyat Islands! 🌊🐠 Special thanks to Sheima, Romeo, Mel & Le for the excellent service and unforgettable trip. Highly recommended!
Today we visited the Dimaniyat Islands with Blue Whale Oman, and the experience was truly outstanding. It was our first trip there, and we were so happy we chose the right boat and team. It was a private women’s trip, and the crew was incredibly supportive and professional. The instructor was excellent, and everything was organized even better than we expected. From the equipment to the food—and even the refreshing cold watermelon after swimming—every detail was thoughtfully prepared. We truly appreciated the honesty and high level of service. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. It will definitely not be our last trip, insha’Allah.
I had an amazing half-day trip with Blue Whale Oman! The whole experience was unforgettable — from the beautiful scenery to the professional and friendly team. Everything was well organized, and the staff made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the trip. The boat was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and coastline. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience, perfect for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Oman. Highly recommended for families, friends, and tourists. Thank you, Blue Whale Oman, for the wonderful memories!
We had an amazing trip with a fantastic crew! We mange toswim with sea turtle and shark.
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Blue Whale Oman Snorkelling Tour! 🌊🐠 From start to finish, the team was incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional—they truly made us feel at home. The entire snorkeling experience was smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable. What made it even more special was that they went out of their way to celebrate my birthday and planned a lovely surprise for me. That personal touch meant a lot and made the day even more memorable! Without a doubt, they are the best in the business. I would highly recommend Blue Whale Oman to anyone visiting Oman—you won’t regret it!
The snorkelling trip was amazing, the crew is very nice and helpful, we had delicious snacks and cold drinks available throughout. They don't have such a high rating for no reason!
Our hotel had booked with this company. We were politely met and greeted at the dock. We had no snorkeling experience; we were over 70, but I was given excellent guidance in the sea (my husband stayed on board). The guide also filmed some underwater videos of a pod of turtles for me. Perfectly done. On board, we were also excellently looked after, with drinks and plenty of delicious snacks. Partly because it was a small group, we had good communication with the guide/captain. Upon our return, we were met again and directed to the taxi driver. It was one of the highlights of our tour of Oman for us.
The trip was amazing. The crew and the captain set everything nicely. We were given everything we need during our trip with snorkeling equipment and safety vest. The food was also amazing. We can not ask for more as it was super fantastic eperience. Thanks blue whale team.
We really enjoyednour trip. The captain and crew are very organized. They handed over our safety vest before the trip and provide us snorkeling gear when we reached the island. They also provided us delicius food and drinks and made sure we are all having fun. They keep checking all the guest time to time that make us very safe and comfortable. Kudos to the team for the amazing service.
Amazing experience valued people on the boat assisting all with professionality and knowledge. Smiling team providing information and tips regarding the tour.
Perfect experience! I highly recommend Blue Whale. The whole trip was perfectly organized. Thank you very much.
My boyfriend went with bluewhales for a trip now we are joining together as he enjoyed so much his feedback is very good! spot was full of turtles and food was surprisingly delicious!
Really great experience. Highly recommended!
We had an incredible sea trip in Muscat with Blue Whale Oman a couple of days ago, and it’s absolutely one of the highlights of our Oman trip! The cruise route offered stunning coastal views of Muscat, beautiful scenery all the way. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive and professional—they took great care of every detail and made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the whole journey was seamless and relaxing. We really enjoyed every moment of this outing and would definitely recommend Blue Whale to all travelers looking for a fantastic sea experience in Muscat. 10/10 highly recommend!
Sun, sea, silence—and a lot of blue. Snorkeling through turquoise waters, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life, the Dimaniyat Islands exceeded every expectation—a truly memorable trip in the Arabian Sea.
I really recommend you this compagnie. I had a great time and everything was perfect. Thank you very much to the staff and the owner. So if you want the perfect tour to visit de Daymaniat island in Oman, I really recommend you this one. You will enjoy, have a very good food and so many memories and if you are lucky will see a lot of turtles.
The island morning tour to the Damaniyat Island with Blue Whale was really amazing! From the beginning, staff contacted me a day before to confirm all the meeting details, instructions were clear. When meeting the staff, they were all very friendly and helpful in all ways they could. I saw many different fish, large and small, and mostly importantly many turtles!! And we were so lucky to see some sharks too at the second snorkel point!! The water was so clear and I was relaxed during snorkelling:) Blue Whale provided all the equipments needed, fins, masks, life jackets…and also sandwiches/snacks/fruits for quick bites! Highly recommending this company to all if you like to go for the island tour😊
I went there on my own to be one with nature because I saw their ads and I thought maybe I should try it and base on the reviews as well. It was the best decision I ever made. The snorkelling was the BEST!!! I am not a confident swimmer but the capt guided me into the sea and one of his crew is also nice. They were all accommodating and funny. They kept us entertained and showed us the reefs, turtles, stingrays, octopuses and I got to see blacktip sharks but they were non aggressive and they also make sure that we are in a safe distance from them and also the same time we will not disturb the sea animals. They provided us snacks and drinks which are all good they have fresh fruits as well. The boat has a toilet which is plus points. The travel from the marina to the island was smooth as well no problem the capt and crew knew exactly what they were doing. Even if it was a half day trip it was worth it. Apparently they also offer camping, next time I'll get my friends to try it. The fee for the trip is also worth it because you get the best quality. The vibes was so relaxing especially when you reach the blacktip island. The boat is big enough to cover all the guest that day, it didn't feel like we were overcrowded. Just the quality of service through booking and to the excursion is KUDOS!!!! I RECOMMEND THEM AS YOUR GO TO ISLAND AND WATER TRIPS 200%
Blue Whale, operating in Muscat, Oman, seems to be a fantastic choice for water sports, especially at Daymaniyat Island! 🌊 snorkeling and boat tours love their professional and friendly staff who are super helpful in spotting marine life, including turtles and whale sharks. The boats are clean, well-equipped, and offer amenities like food, drinks, toilets, and showers ¹. the company's attention to safety, comfort, and making the experience unforgettable is superb I had a really great time If you're looking for an adventure, Blue Whale's got you covered! 😊
Due to the high ratings of Blue Whale company here in TripAdvisor we were thoroughly disappointed with the trip today. Hazardous speed and driving across high waves for 45 minutes left us soaking wet and cold when we reached the island. There was no focus on safety we did not feel safe with the speed and high waves. On the return trip we asked for life jackets. We were surprised to read that people had brought children on this boat. That cannot be advised. Probably due to the weather there was only one stop (not two as advertised), so we ended up with less than expected. Bad weather is of course out of the control of the company but they should warn people about the hazards and uncomfortable conditions that this leads to for their guests. We did not receive any notice or warnings that the weather was bad, the sun was shining and we did not get any such indications before going into the boat. When we tried to bring up the lack of information or warnings we were dismissed by the impolite owner Bader. The rudeness and arrogance of the manager destroyed our trip. The other crew member Romeo did his best to be helpful and friendly and we thank him for that.
Blue whale Oman is not just a business, it's more than that. They have accompanied us since the first time we reached out to them, they were available to answer all our questions at any time. The trip to Daymaniat Islands was incredible and just a stunning experiment even though we were with kids. Clean boat, experienced and nice staff and most importantly surprising experiences and things to leave. A lovely experience we will not forget. Don't forget to try the Kayak. Thank you Blue Whale, Thank you to your staff and thank you for the gifts as well.
Awesome experience with "Blue Whale" team. We a group of 4 had gone for snorkeling near Daymaniyat islands in Muscat with 'Blue Whale' team and it was great. All the crew members very professional and polite. The journey to the island itself was wonderful and the crew really know the sea, they took us to spots where we could see different type of marine life including sea turtles. The snacks and food they served during the trip was also very good. if you are thinking to go for Snorkeling or sea Tour near Muscat, don't think twice connect with Blue Whale!
We booked this trip late the night before with April. She was amazing. She sent all the relevant info and also showed us the boat we would be on. She also ensured all our dietary needs would be met for the snack which it was. The crew on the boat were really friendly, helpful and made you feel part of the group. They provided lifejackets and noodles (as I cannot swim) and I never felt unsafe. They are with you throughout and even take and share videos with the turtles. Lee, Romeo and Mel were amazing and the knowledge shared was awesome. We saw lots of turtles and colorful fish. When we stopped at the island they were with us throughout ensuring we all had a chance to spend at the beach, kayak and take a short walk/hike. They made sure we had drinks at the island so we did not have to run back to the boat every-time and even collected our used items to keep the beach clean. The teams energy was awesome and made our trip more memorable.
Beautiful trip to Daminyeat islands with Khatab and Romeo from Blue Whale. Arranged late the night before - April was ready and reissue with all the relevant information - we were able to snorkel with turtles and kayak - we were well taken care of and the crew were lovely. Would highly recommend
Huge thanks to Ali, April, and the entire crew for an amazing snorkeling trip around the Dimaniyat Islands 🐢💙 Everything was perfect — the warm welcome, the relaxed atmosphere, the focus on safety, and above all, the magic of swimming alongside turtles in crystal-clear water. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and passion, which made this adventure truly special. 🙏 Highly recommended — a memory that will last forever! 🌴✨
