WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

From start to finish this experience was brilliant. The crew worked really hard to make sure everyone enjoyed the whole cruise. They served fresh fruit, an assortment of coffee, water, cans of pop, and juice throughout the cruise. The whole team worked hard and treated us all like family. We saw dolphins swimming free and had the opportunity to snorkel and swim for a short time. Well worth the trip. Excellent value for money.

We saw dolphins swimming freely. It was absolutely magical. They served us fruits, water, tea, coffee, dates, and sodas. Khalid, our guide, was very professional and sweet. I loved the trip.

What a great experience. The Dhow boat had a traditional oriental rug with pillows for all of us to sit. The driver was a young man who always had a smile on his face. We saw lots of dolphins and tropical fish. The scenery is spectacular.
