About us

About Daymaniyat Islands Tours

We are a Muscat team who fell for the Daymaniyat Islands long before we ran trips there. We take guests snorkeling, diving, camping and dolphin watching, with clear prices, honest advice and a quick reply on WhatsApp.

Our story

Why we started

For seven or eight years we went out to the Daymaniyat Islands almost every month, for the turtles, the reefs and the clear water. The more time we spent there, the more we wanted to share it.

So we started our own company, to play our part in Oman’s tourism and to give visitors the kind of day at sea we always loved: safe, unhurried and honest about what nature can and can’t promise.

Your crew

Captain Sufyan and Captain Idrees

Sufyan and Idrees take our boats out to the Daymaniyat Islands. Each day they choose where to stop by looking at the weather, the water and where the marine life is, and they only go out when the sea allows.

If you are nervous in the water, tell the crew when you board: life jackets are provided for everyone, and the crew stay close to anyone who wants help.

How we work

How we run our trips

Small groups

Room on board

Our shared snorkeling trips carry about 12 to 16 guests, even though the boats take more than 20.

Safety first

The captain chooses

Snorkel and dive stops are picked on the day for clear water, the currents and safety, and trips only go out when the sea allows.

Honest about nature

Wildlife is never promised

Turtles are common and dolphins often seen, but they are wild. We don’t chase, touch or feed marine life, and nobody stands on the coral.

Clear prices

No surprises

Every trip page shows the price before VAT and worked totals with VAT. A 50% deposit by secure payment link confirms your booking.

Quick replies

Day or night

Our team answers WhatsApp at any time, usually within 10 to 30 minutes, in Arabic, English, Hindi or Urdu.

Your photos

Only with your consent

The crew only take photos of guests who agree, and we ask before using any of them online.
