An excellent experience. Not the first time I did this trip, but this time the tour was personalised to adjust to our preferences for fishing and sight seeing. The captains were very sociable and welcoming and made everyone feel relaxed and safe. They cooked the fish we caught, in a delicious way, and that was in addition to the already copious lunch that they had brought for us, even including a cake with a personalised message. We enjoyed the sight of dolphins, the dramatic contrast between mountains and water in the fyord, kayaking and snorkeling, and the quiet boating forth and back. It was a memorable experience. Thanks to the Team, starting from Mr. Ali to the two Captains. See you soon in Sha'Allah!

Our family took a road trip up to Khasab port for a lovely scenic day cruise which included barbecue lunch and stops to Telegraph island and Seebee island to swim and snorkel. On the way, we saw dolphins swim up close to us which was so cute! Food was good and the boat was comfortable and clean with toilet for changing clothes and shower. There was some cold drinks and hot coffee provided which was good. The 2 men who operated the boat were very friendly and helpful to us as we prepared the snorkels and life vests for swimming. There were plenty of fish swimming near the surface to look at.

Highly recommend Khasab Sands Tours. Their boat is big with upper deck which other companies might not have.

Pro tips: Before the trip during booking, you can request for kayak for a little additional fee. bring portable speaker with music if you would like to enjoy it during the dhow cruise.

I’v booked this activity 3 times with Ali and cannot recommend him enough!!

It is always very well organized, pick up is on time, crossing the border is very smooth.
The staff (driver and also people on the boat) are caring and always make sure that you feel confortable.

Well done Ali always a very well organized activity.

Everything was perfect, from start to finish!
We had booked for 3 people with departure/return pick-up from the airport.
Arrival on day 1 around 4:30 p.m. Night under the stars in a private dhow. End of day at sea and visit the fjords the next day, fishing, short walks on land. The crew (2 people) did their best to spot the dolphins in the morning.
Second night in a tent on a “developed” beach. We were alone with one person to make the meal and if we needed.
In the morning, discovery of the coast in 4x4 with a driver.
Lunch in Khasab and return to the airport.
Ali is not permanently present because his company has several boats. But he is there at every stage (airport, departure by boat, return by boat, departure and return by 4x4, lunch in Khasab).
Quite honestly, the organization is perfect, Ali's colleagues are top notch.
I recommend 100%

Night at the beach camp and day on the Dow boat with the dolphin 🐬

Amazing experience. Best thing to do when coming to dubai for a 5 or more days. Ali and his team are amazing.

Sleeping on a beach camp is magic. The day on the Dow boat shows us great landscapes. The dolphin experience is magic. We were lucky enough to swim near the dolphins.

Even if crossing the UAE/Oman border is not always easy and smooth, I highly recommend Ali and his team for this experience on the priority list when visiting Dubai or when living in Dubai

We had an amazing time in Musandam with Khasab Sand Tours. We did both a mountain tour and the overnight private night cruise and the day cruise. Very experienced and nice driver (it’s quite scary to ride on those roads but he made me feel at easy). The dhow cruise was just stunning and so peaceful. I highly recommend to book the private tour if you just want peace and quiet and just being able to relax. We were snorkeling, kayaking and fishing - and got to eat the fish we caught for lunch! The guys on the boat took so good care of us and they were two amazing chefs. We will definitely come back! And yes, we saw dolphins twice 😊

Absolute favorite tour perfectly organized by Ali. We felt super welcome and our requests (e.g. vegetarian food) was carried out beyond our expectations! The quality of the service and food was just amazing. We had a good 24h stay on the boat with 14 friends as a weekend getaway from Dubai. I can recommend 100%.

I could not be happier about my choice of planning a 24 hour cruise with Ali and his team ! We saw soooo many dolphins, enjoyed the snorkeling, kayaking, did the small hike. We were even able to catch 2 fish haha The food was nice and we even had a surprise cake to welcome us on board.
We were a family of 5 adults, had the boat for ourselves and slept very well!
Everything was very smooth, the team on board was professional, communicated everything about every step of the trip.
We had a last minutes change regarding our pick up and drop off and they were very understanding, trying to help us and drove us to the border.
I will definitely book again and ask for the same captain and chef as they were the best!!!! Thank you again to Ali and his team

We did the two-day beach camping + dhow cruise and everything was... perfect. Yes, it's worth highlighting that everything, from the overall organisation to the minute details was just perfect. We did this during the week (UAE Spring Break) end of March so I can't comment on the impacts of busy weekends or weather in other seasons. Our experience (myself and my 9yo + 5yo) was stellar and we would highly recommend it. The camp is nicely setup on a small beach and everything if well taken care of. The camping gear is good and the evening was relaxing. Having fresh fish on the BBQ was a sure hit, even among the younger ones! The cruise itself, on the second day (know that you can also switch and do the cruise on the first day) was on a comfortable dhow with a crew that really cared about the well-being of the passengers. We were able to see dolphins, do some snorkelling, swim in the sea, enjoy the majestic views of the "fjords" and just let the kids play on the two decks of the dhow. We would definitely do this again, with friends or family!
