We had an amazing day out on the boat. He took us snorkeling and along the coast, and the whole experience was absolutely beautiful.They were very attentive to what we wanted and really did their best to satisfy all our wishes throughout the day. A big thank you to Hanif for his professionalism and kindness. - Had an amazing ride with them. Took both Dow cruise and Dolphin watching / Snorkeling. Too good and very professional.Captain alloted for us was very friendly and even thought me few dives as well !Would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure
- Great experience and very friendly staff. We booked a private boat tour on short notice for snorkeling at the islands and it was perfect. They provided food and drinks and we had a great trip together with the captain and his son. Highly recommendable!
- One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in Oman Muscat. The team were so responsive and on it! They made sure my guest felt very comfortable and at ease and gave us the best Dimaniyat island tour. I would highly recommended
- Had an unforgettable experience with Captain Hanif while renting a boat in Oman. The plan was to go snorkeling and swim with turtles, explore the coastline, reefs, and mountains — and even that alone would have been amazing… but it turned into something even more special!While we were on the way, Captain Hanif received information that dolphins were spotted nearby. He immediately suggested we go see them — and of course, we said yes. What really impressed us is that he didn’t charge anything extra for this. In Oman, dolphin watching, turtle swimming, and snorkeling are often sold as separate tours or expensive packages, but with him, we got to experience everything in one trip.- We saw dolphins up close- Swam with turtles- Enjoyed beautiful snorkeling spots- And explored stunning coastline views with mountainsCaptain Hanif is not only professional and experienced, but also genuinely cares about his guests’ experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to communicate with — he made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.If you’re looking for a unique, honest, and high-value boat tour in Oman, I highly recommend Captain Hanif. This is exactly the kind of experience you remember for a long time!Instagram: @alex_stitsenko

- I have had the pleasure of joining Capitano Oman on a couple of trips, including dolphing watching and snorkeling, and I couldn't be happier. Each time, I've been part of mixed groups with families and kids of all ages, and the experience has been always great!!
What sets Capitano Oman apart from other companies is their deep respect for marine life. While other operators many times disturb the animals by getting too close or speeding through their habitats, the Capitano crew is always mindful of the environment. They ensure that guests enjoy the full experience without disrupting the natural behaviors of the animals.
Chris, in particular, stands out with his friendly demeanor and great attitude, specially towards kids. He goes out of his way to help them in and out of the water, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The captain is also highly experienced, adding to the overall sense of safety and professionalism on board.
Based on my experiences, Capitano Oman is of he most respectful -if not rhe most respectful and environmentally conscious tour company in Muscat. They have truly won my heart, and I will continue to choose them for all my upcoming marine excursions. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a responsible and enjoyable way to explore Oman's marine life
