Amazing boat trip to Damaniyat Islands and Bandar Khairan

There is nothing better than exploring a country from the point of view of a local. We had a great time with Q Tours! It is a family run company run by locals  from the Qantab area. I love that the brothers and sisters all work together.  You get to see the area through their eyes and you see their favorite spots in the area. The boat was super clean and had everything you need towels, water, yummy fresh healthy sandwiches and snacks. We took the boat  from 11am to just before sunset to Damaniyat Islands with Captain Ibrahim. It took over an hour to reach the island, but we saw dolphins on the way which was a huge plus. When we reached the island they gave us snorkeling gear to see the fish and turtles there. We were coming back, before sunset, her took us on the coastal route and pointed out historic buildings. We were so happy with the service, that when we went to Muscat again we called them up and rented the boat out again for 3 hours to go to Bandar Khairan. Captain Ibrahim took us to a new spot this time called Bandar Khairan, and we snorkeled at different spots and saw more fish and turtles. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Oman. Next time I want to try a different type of trip with them which will be camping under the stars!
