Daymaniyat Islands Snorkle Done Right!
nedp886, September 2026
Fahad and Demaniyat Adventures offer the perfect way to experience the beautiful Daymaniyat Islands. As a local Omani guide, Fahad genuinely respects and appreciates the marine life, coral and natural environment. He takes exceptional care of his guests, providing sandwiches, water, juice and fresh watermelon, while finding secluded locations where you can often have the whole place to yourselves. We saw sharks, turtles and everything in between. Fahad also captured fantastic photos and GoPro footage, making the trip feel incredibly special. What truly distinguishes this experience is Fahad’s commitment to protecting nature. He makes sure you leave with wonderful memories, videos and photographs—without disturbing or damaging the environment. Not every tour operator demonstrates this same level of care, knowledge and respect. An unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

BEST EVER TRIP - Unforgettable day with Farhad – Demiett Island Adventures
161haymarw, July 2026
Fahad is the goat. His knowledge of the sea and skill in snorkelling and diving is next level, and he found turtles for us, swimming right there in the water searching the reefs with us. One of the best days of our whole trip to Oman and Middle East. He's also just a genuinely lovely, friendly guy. The boat was clean and well organised, the equipment was great, and he had food, water, and cold water for rinsing off after swims. Worth noting: other guests at our hotel did a similar trip with a different operator that day. No turtles, everyone felt seasick, and they said never again. Shows just how much Fahad's skill and care make the difference. If you're in Oman and want to see turtles or the reefs, book with Fahad. Can't recommend him enough. 100% will be back with Fahad

This trip wasn't the most...
Vsevolod_V, May 2026
This trip wasn't the most interesting. We can commend the good navigation and the availability of food on board. However, we didn't see any dolphins. Either dolphins aren't found in the area at all, or they only appear during a certain season. There certainly weren't any in November. Expect to be tricked and not see any.

Esperienza fantastica
stefanosH2603KX, May 2026
It was truly an amazing experience! Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the best captain in Seeb harbor. Come to Oman, guys—it’s an extremely safe and beautiful country, even these days…
