Full Day Musandam Cruise with Lunch from Dubai

Relaxed day in local dhow boat in showstopping scenery

Great experience although I was the only non-Russian speaker on board. The guide made sure he communicated to me in English where possible. The scenery is otherworldly and the water is crystal clear and the dolphins were dancing for us, unforgettable

Boat ride

It was a great experience with lots of great views I took lots of family pictures and had a great time with my family I would do it again if my trip was longer

Great experience

Boat was nicely equipped, with snorkels, kayaks, speed boat and banana ride. The crew was very helpful, friendly and provided plenty of drinks and snacks. The lunch meal was really good, with a lot of variety. Nice day in the sun.

Great day and great value for a full day

Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. It was a long day with lots of time on the bus, but it was good to see some of the Emirates outside of Dubai. It was also a good time to get to know some of the other guests before we got to the boat, since I was doing the tour on my own. The time on the boat was wonderful. There were lots of activities and plenty of staff to help and make sure everyone was taken care of. The lunch was very tasty and plentiful. For the price, I thought that this was an excellent trip and would highly recommend. I would make mention that it probably isn't a great choice if you have mobility issues. We had to cross several boats to get to and from ours, and there are stairs and ladders for all of the activities.

Overall nice experience but didnt match my expectations

Overall nice experience but some of the things didnt work for me personally. Pickup was smooth, van is clean, fast border checks, boat was OK. Amazing clean water & great swim. But - in description 2 settlements of Oman are stated - you don't really see anything from the van except of one street before the boat (I really wanted to see Oman a bit) - our guides were russians (as 90% of other tourists) and everything would be said in russian and then smth translated into Eng to other guests - I dont remember fishing (and no swimming at that time) was described in the trip description - you can order fresh shrimps on the boat but only cash.

Fun day in on the rugged coast of Oman

Fun day, I swam, I rode on a speed boat 🚤, walked on the beach, great lunch, I ordered the grilled shrimp it was delicious. Long drive there and back but overall a great experience.

Great day at the sea

It was a very fun day it is worth the cost. We had 5 hours in the water - travel to Oman. We had several stops - water is great - warm and clear. Snorkeling was underwhelming but the very nice crew provide kayaking banana boat and fast boat activities. They gave us spools for a little fishing. Lunch was adequate. We did have 3 hours travel each way. It was a great way to be in the water and have fun

Awesome Day

A truly awesome day. It was a relaxing drive there, then onto the boat and out to have fun. The speed boat and banana boat were awesome. You get to choose whether or not to get tipped off the banana. The water was perfect temperature. There's plenty of shade on the boat and the food was really good...good variety and lots of it. There's unlimited drinks including tea/coffee. The staff are great too. They appear to love their jobs and want to give you a good time.

Excellent Trip!! Highly Recommended!!

It was a great experience, they picked us up from the hotel, we went to Fujerah, the sights were amazing, we took a lot of pictures, then we reached our traditional Omani Dhow Cruise, it was a relaxing atmosphere... We really enjoyed it a lot .. there was music, then snorkeling, Kayaking, Speed Boat, banana boat then our lunch was delicious as well. We came back by visiting limestone caves... Loved our overall Experience!!!

Beautiful trip to Oman and a fun time on the water

We really enjoyed this tour. If you were like us and want to say you’ve gone to one more country, this is an easy way to visit the country of Oman. The boat ride was fun and beautiful. When you stop the first time you have a chance to ride a speedboat and a banana boat and kayak and also do some swimming and snorkeling. That part was really quite fun. The little trip to the beach was neat also. As for the fishing part, that was really quite lame and I would’ve preferred spending more time at that first location. All the staff was nice. And the Indian luncheon was awesome. Great food if you like Indian food. The only thing I would recommend is that they disclose that the drive to get there is about two hours. But I enjoyed seeing the scenery.

Amazing experience

Definitely recommend to book this tour. The staff is very kind and helpful, also very well prepared. Visited places are amazing, this tour it’s a must! It’s very well organized with a lot of sea activities, beach time, fishing, snorkeling, swimming and so on. Also, the lunch buffet on the boat was good.

Trip to musandam

Trip to musamdam was amazing and enjoyable Away from the hustle of Dubai was a good change The crew were very helpful and friendly.

Visit Musandam, but find another way to do it.

The location was beautiful and absolutely worth experiencing. If there was another way to get there rather than this service, I would encourage that. There was drunkenness, people vaping and smoking with no action taken by the staff to stop these activities. It made for an uncomfortable situation - and there were many children present. In fact, some of the staff partook of the alcohol. Given that pre-trip I received many warnings about alcohol and smoking/vaping being forbidden, that this behavior was allowed was upsetting. It was a diverse and mostly very friendly group of people in this tour, which made the experience bearable. The food provided was food. Not abundant or particularly good or bad. There was no guidance provided by the alleged tour guides. All of the activities described in the promotion were available and quickly run through. The driver assigned to the drop off passes my drop off location several times because he had apparently forgotten about me sitting in his van. After over two hours of this I finally just exited and took a taxi back to my location.

Highly suggested

Interesting and nice journey. Its not a luxury voyage, but attractive journey to realities and live of Oman and its nature

Long journey to Dibba

It took 3 hours from our hotel pick up to get to the port.Some people had been on the bus considerably longer.There was no restroom break on the journey. The boat trip itself was a very enjoyable experience,the crew very hospitable and the food wonderful especially the barracuda.Disappointed not to see dolphins but we did see turtles and shoals of fish jumping out of the water

Relaxing day on a traditional dhow boat with plenty of swimming snorkelling and food

Great experience, highly recommended. The guide Nur-Sultan (Kyrgyz guy) was very charming and looked after myself and 3 other fellow non-Russian speakers which I appreciated. The scenery is stunning, the food is excellent, there’s plenty of water juice tea and coffee too, the swimming and snorkelling is also top notch. It was just so relaxing and scenic - I had a wonderful experience on the boat, highly recommended. Save yourself the hassle of crossing the border yourself into Oman (and back), it’s a lot easier doing it through these guys here, you won’t regret it.

Nice trip!

Good communication on transportation. Had an issue with our first bus but they had a second one that helped. Nice boat, good food. Good value for the money.

Great boat trip in Oman

Fantastic. Really good. Very enjoyable- good pace. Plenty of time for water activities. Great food. Staff excellent - great communication. Lovely location. Great photos. Friendly crew who tried all the time. Plenty of drinks on board and snacks. Do it…!!

Not the best

The title suggests a full day cruise BUT this is a 2 hour bus journey to Oman. Then out on a boat to take part in activities like speed boat, snorkelling, banana boat. Soft drinks and lunch included. A very basic trip and in my opinion not value for money. I’d tell you use your money for other tours.

A Choice....

A nice opportunity to go to Oman for the day from Dubai. Expectations of the day should be clear - A few hours of pick ups from different hotels and resorts. A fairly organized border crossing because the company had the paperwork already taken care of for the customers. In addition, the crew was able to speak in numerous languages to communicate. Know what one is getting into: A boat shared with 50 others - one kayak, one speedboat, one banana float, fishing line on a spindle, and some snorkeling gear to share. A few different stops throughout the day, sometimes unclear of the activity and time in each location. Communication via text was clear for confirmation and pick-up.

Relaxing boat cruise

It was a great relaxing day! We were able to go to the beach, swim, banana boat, fish. Food was great. Transportation was efficient. Overall a good experience!

Play on the Sea

This was a welcome break from touring Dubai. Enjoyed sailing, snorkelling, swimming, riding the “big banana” and fishing around the Musandam Fjords. The crew were very friendly and accommodating. Plentiful food and water on board. This was good value for the money. Not luxurious, nor was the price.

A picturesque experience. A relaxing day (with some thrills too)

It's a full, but very relaxing day with a few awesome thrills if you choose! I cannot recommend this tour enough if you have a day to spare! Great for those who love nature, photography or want to just relax & escape everything. It took us just over 2hrs from our Dubai hotel to the boat in Musandam in the AC mini bus. It's all just highway. Our driver did a quick toilet stop as someone asked. We had a full 6hrs on the boat (toilets on boat too). The Arabian Boat definitely had more than 15 people on board, but it did not feel overcrowded at all. There was plenty of space upstairs & downstairs. Lots of sun beds & lounges, plus places to lay your towel. It's a very relaxing boat ride to a very picturesque spot. Rugged mountain edges & claim sea. The beach was a bit of a let down... Very rugged, lots of shells, small & bit 'dirty'. But also, it's nice to experience that kind of beach. I chose to swim & jump from the boat into the sea. I also did the banana boat (we had the option to be flipped off or not) & I did the speed boating. There was also traditional fishing at the end (I didn't catch anything, but it was good to try). There were a couple of kayaks & snorkel sets too. I spent a lot of time swimming & enjoying the scenery. The lunch was tasty. Lots of choices, chicken, fish, rice, noodles, salad etc. Some of it is a bit spicy for some. Plenty of juice or tea & biscuits for the day available whenever. My only wish, was to have a "pool noodle" to bob around/float with, while in the ocean. That would have been perfect. Thank you otherwise for a wonderful experience, I loved it!

Great experience for solo travel

It was such a fun experience, we crossed the Oman border with ease and the views from the boat were so cool. Very nice mix of relaxation and swimming

Great deal

A great day trip for small or big groups, everything was fine, without any major problems. I would certainly recommend this trip.

Do Not Skip This Tour!

This was the best day! The landscape, sea and beaches in the Gulf of Oman are so unique. We played in the beautiful turquoise green water all day. I met many new friends from all over the world and the crew was exceptional - friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. This is a must do if you are visiting Dubai!

Would recommend to a friend!

Very good communication in terms of transfer. The transfer bus wasn’t ideal in that the aircon wasn’t strong so it was quite stuffy, but it was fine and he stopped twice for rest breaks and to get a drink. They made moving over the border very easy. The staff on the boat were really helpful - even offering sea sickness tablets out as it was choppy which was a lovely touch! We then could swim, snorkel, banana boat or go on a speed boat to a nearby beach. Water/tea and biscuits were available at all times. We had a beautiful lunch served by the boat crew and then fished! It was a jam packed day but all really enjoyable and I’d recommend it to any friends visiting Oman or the UAE.

Day on the boat

It was a wonderful day on the boat. The staff is very friendly and caring. my mother and daughter received a lot of pleasant emotions. wonderful food, speed boats, everything was great. The driver was also really nice and took great care of the passengers. I highly recommend this trip both for kids and adults who each had an amazing experience!

Great day trip

Everything went well, everybody was nice, we had a good time, highly recommend for a day trip if you wish to see beyond Dubai.

A great taste of Oman in a day! A fun day with amazing people!

I feel like this tour provides exceptional value for the money! How else can you pay a quick visit to Oman and spend the day swimming, eating, and cruising around the Gulf? Not to mention meeting great people from all around the globe, door to door pickup and drop off service?! Great job guys! I found the entire team professional and felt safe the entire time. I don't know what more you can expect for what you pay here. This was just plainly a fun day, a nice way to escape the hustle and bustle of Dubai, and a neat way to get an extra stamp in your passport. Give this a shot! Don't forget, you must ride the banana! The reviews here that complain about this tour are being unfair and unrealistic. There's always gonna be some people who complain that they don't get first class service while still wanting to pay bargain rates. Yes the tour was simple, but just relax and have fun. Forget about how shiny the bus isn't, etc.

Awesome and unforgettable experience

Absolutely amazed by the trip - From pick up point in time to the actual site - All activities named was awesome - Good food to add on that - The boat teams were incredible and professional! I’ll definitely recommend trying out

All my family member are...

All my family member are satisfied this tour. They picked up on time. And their tour routr also good

Great experience, no hidden costs, more than expected!

It was a really nice experience, beautiful coastline, three stops (swimming and snorcheling; private beach and lunch, fishing). Everything was included so no extra money for food, beverages or banana boat, snorkeling equipment etc.. also the visa was included and transport. We were absolutely happy with this beautiful trip and recommend it to everyone! tour guide was fluent in English and Russian and some other languages :) music, shower, changing room, fishing lines, lunch etc really everything was amazing Only point and critic: the snorkeling equipment was not cleaned after usage 😅 so bring some disinfectant with you for the snorkel 🤿 . Maybe it’s cleaned after the tour but not sure 🤷🏼‍♂️ But you have a sink and soap on board :) so no worries

Mel in Musandam 💕🇦🇪🇴🇲

Thank you for a wonderful experience. It was indeed amazing. We had so much fun and enjoyed all the activities, including kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, speed boating, and the most enjoyable of all, the banana boat ride. The highlight of our trip was definitely the breathtaking view and the calmness of the place. You will feel at peace once you're there. Thank you, Mr. Hassan, for assisting us, and thank you to our tour guide. Book your Musandam tour with Golden Trip Travel and Tourism. P.s lunch buffet,unlimited water, softdrinks, tea, coffee are availble.

Amazing Experience

It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Pickup and drop off were on time. We were picked up from our address in Dubai at around 7 AM and dropped off at around 7:30 PM. They took care of our visa and it was included in the amount we paid. The boat was not too crowded and it was clean. The staff and the guide on board were amazing. They have lifejackets available if you don't know how to swim like me. The activities were fun and were divided into 3 parts. - part 1: speedboat ride, banana boat ride, swimming or float in the water with your lifejacket - part 2: nonswimmers can go to the beach, do more swimming or in my case float in the water, or go kayaking. Swimmers have an extra option to go snorkelling. - part 3: Fishing They have water, juices, biscuits, and fruits on board. It wouldn't hurt if you bring your snacks in case you are like me who likes to munch on food every minute. Lunch was good and they even had cake for us as it was Christmas when we went there. They have a bathroom/changing room in the boat. They also provide towels but if you are a bit OCD like me, would suggest bringing your own. It was a great experience overall.

Enjoyable Adventurous Experience in Scenic Sea, Also Value for Money..

It was Excellent Overall,From Pick up to Cruise and Return Enjoyed Activities Like Speed Boat, Banana Boat, kayaking, Beach Swiming and Fishing Food - Good Variety and Tasty & Fresh. Indian and Western both Staff was very friendly and Supportive... Sultan and Nazrul, very helpful ans Interactive

Amazing Musandam Cruise Experience

This trip to musandam area followed by the cruise, water activities and lunch was an amazing experience. The staff and arrangements were professional and on schedule. The diversity of the water activities was impressive - kayaking, swimming, Snorkeling, banana boat ride and speed boat ride and fishing! Thanks for a great day trip from Dubai to Musandam Oman

Awesome Oman Experience

This was an wonderful trip for the price! The scenery seen during the cruise is absolutely breathtaking. The activities offered such as the speed boat, kayaking, snorkeling, banana boat rides and fishing is great and keeps you busy. I am of Indian heritage so I definitely enjoyed the food and drinks offered during the cruise as well. Do not hesitate on booking this, especially since you can see another country for this price. I was traveling solo but met many people of the cruise to hang with and made new friendships so feel free to book this even traveling solo.

Excellent getaway from Dubai commercial life

Excellent package all in all. We were picked up from our hotel and they took care of Visa/Permit for Oman. Sultan the team lead coordited very well and explained all the activities. After 2 hrs of ride in the coaster we got on a boat (Dhow). It had real good seating arrangements and well stocked with water, juices and fruits. Boat captain Aslam and the two helpers worked hard to make sure we had fun. Food was great. Basically first stop is swimming, speed boat and banana boat, second stop is Snorkeling/beach and third stop is fishing. And above all beautiful scenery. Took us 12 hrs in total but it was worth it and not that tiring as we did take a nap during the boat ride.

A day of relaxation in Omani waters

The tour was a described. For me this trip served its purpose, allowing me to easily/quickly add another country to my list of visited countries (Oman), while visiting Dubai. The tour team was very helpful. If you want a day of relaxation in the water and fresh sea air, this may be a good choice for you. Just full disclaimer, this will take a full day and you are not going to be seeing any natural wonders. So, depending on your preferences, if you are a first time visitor to Dubai this may not be your first choice of how to spend a full day.

Different from expected

The tour guide provided very poor service, no communication. Excursion was poorly organized and description does not reflect the activity.

Tradition dhow boat experience

I had a beautiful experience on a traditional show boat after we crossed oman border. We did banana 🍌 boat, speed boat, kayak, snorkeling 🤿 and walking on the beach full of living mollusks. It was really incredible! Then we did fishing but the weather got stormy so it was hard to fish and we didn't catch anything. The lunch was delicious 😋 and traditional the staff was helpful and accommodating, our guide Nursultan even spoke my native language Russian which I was very impressed by. Overall trip was good but I wish we had better weather and it wasn't stormy

Escape from Dubai

Super fun day from Dubai to Dibba. The water activities were varied. The scenery was breathtaking. The swim was so refreshing! A bit long from Dubai but it’s because of Dubai’s crazy rush hour traffic.

Musandam Day Trip- Book it!

My wife and I took this excursion as part of our honeymoon in Dubai. The driver picked us up promptly at the appointed time and the day went very smoothly. We were made aware of all documents we needed to bring ahead of time which made crossing the border into Oman seamless. Towels, life jackets and lunch were provided on the boat along with a variety of water activities once we got to the destination in the Gulf of Oman- snorkeling, a banana boat ride, beach for those who only wanted to swim close to shore , speed boat ride etc. we had a great time, the staff was friendly and we felt very safe. The water and scenery were beautiful….couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Wonderful day trip from...

Wonderful day trip from Dubai. Beautiful Omani coastline. Fun day with lots of water activities and sightseeing. Great buffet. All you need is your passport and phone for pictures. Everything else is well taken care of.

Really disappointing

The day wasn't bad, but it didn't look like what was advertised. The boat doesn't go to the Musandam fjords, but remains very close to Dibba. We didn't see any dolphins, because there is no chance of seeing them on this route. Snorkelling was limited because we stopped in a place where the water was quite unclear, and the second stop, dedicated to fishing, was only a few meters from the first one so it was completely useless. Furthermore, the loud music on the boat was quite unpleasant. In short, this is not at all consistent with the description of the activity and it creates unmatched expectations. If you really want to go to the Musandam fjords with dolphins and good snorkelling, I think it's better to take another operator (via Ras el Khaïmah) and pay a little bit more. We hesitated to do so, and we should have done that, because even if the cruise is still pleasant, it's too expensive for what it is.

Good tour in overall

It is a good trip from Dubai to Dibba, and the water activities are interesting. The lunch is great as well, and the crews are caring.

GO WITHOUT HESITATION

JUST PERFECT- from the beginning to the end , they come to pick me up at the right time in a small van . Then we join a common bus taken for all the different tours operators and went to Oman . (GOLDEN TRIP DUBAI also purposes the best price on the market ). The road was perfect to take pictures of différents landscapes , boarders customers were fast . After that , we sent to the cruise where all the water sports are free and you can do them several times ! The food was also delicious . I RECOMMANDE with GOLDEN TRIP DUBAI WITHOUT HESITATION

Great day with many activities

Everything went really well and I had a lot of fun. Food was great and I enjoyed the various activities we got to try. Totally recommended day trip from Dubai!

A Day Out in Oman!

This was a great tour organised from Dubai. Although its a long bus journey to there and back with the collections and drop offs, its well worth seeing and getting your day out in Oman. The boat trip itself is excellent, the activities of kayaking, banana boating and snorkeling are completely free which is a nice touch. Food is good too and its the perfect relaxing day out. Thanks again!
