    I cant give this a five mainly because there was no mention that the drive was 3 hrs to the boat from the Palm. There was also no mention that it wasnt really a cruise but more of a ride. Now I recommend it because once we got to the boat it was fun doing the activities. FYI, you likely will not see fish when snorkel so just think of it as more swim time. The banana boat was a blast though and quite possibly saved the tour. Tour probably is the wrong word, it was more like an activity. The driver doesnt talk to you during the drive to the boat, the boat crew dont talk to you during the boat ride either. They really just instruct you what is about to happen. The food was quite good though, i enjoyed that and i think everyone else did as well because everyone was sleep on my van during the return ride which was around 530pm.

    An enjoyable day overall. Upside is seeing the landscape change from Dubai to Oman. Cruising in the dhow with an excellent buffet lunch, plenty of cold water and fruit was very pleasant. The loud American hip hop music in that serene setting was ridiculous. I asked them to turn it down after I had heard a particular track 3 times and they did oblige. We were dropped at a small beach to swim which had a very friendly dog and some goats wandering about. The snorkelling is a waste of time as the water is not clear. My daughter went on the banana ride behind the speed boat and was hurt quite badly. The driver was determined to shake everybody off and she is a very slight build. The drive to and from was uneventful but slightly too warm. I think the vehicle could be a bit more up to date.
    This particular trip was a lot less expensive than some others we had looked at so you get what you pay for.

    This tour was good but it could’ve been great. The driver picked us up on time. The drive from Dubai to the port in Dibba however was in a van. The middle seat in the back is incredibly uncomfortable and the vehicle isn’t suited for travelling such long distances with an adult in that seat. Once we got to Dibba the cruise was amazing. A fantastic day out and well worth the pain getting there. All of the staff from the driver to the boat crew were friendly and polite. There could have been a little more instruction on how things operated though but we worked it out in the end. When we were taken ashore we weren’t told how to contact the boat to get a ride back. We didn’t realise this would be a problem until we realised we were the first of many boats to land in this spot. We also weren’t told timings which meant we returned to the boat over an hour before we set off to return again so we could’ve had more time on the beach. Minor issues really. Plenty to drink on board. Tea, coffee, juices and water. Lunch was very ordinary and clearly catered for the predominately Indian participants. I would recommend this trip for the scenery, a day out on and in the water and the chance to get away from Dubai to a country that still retains its authenticity. This trip has sparked a desire in me to return to visit Oman.

    Great fun and good service, but a lot of unnecessary driving and not much adventure. The tour isn’t really to the Fjords, but to the Omani coast on the Indian Ocean.
    You don’t really get to see any of Oman, but it’s a cool day out.

    The drive to/from Musandam was uneventful. The driver never spoke to the guests regarding the area. I found out the next day that we had driven through other emirates. Once we got on the boat, the crew was awesome. The experience was lovely.

    I recommend this tour to everyone! The driver picked me up from my Dubai hotel and took us to Oman borders near Dibba and then the cruise started! Fun is guaranteed! The guys did everything for us to have a great day! Musandam is amazing and we stopped for swimming and banana experience, speed boat adventure experience, kayak , fishing and food was included along with drinks, fruits, snacks..and I was surprised how delicious the food was! I was very pleased and happy with the tour and the price was really value for money!

    el servicio se cancelò por mal tiempo y nos regresaron al hotel, sé que no es su culpa, nos dijeron que nos iban a devolver el dinero pero de todas maneras podíamos ir al ptro dia gratuitamente pero no pude ir, espero ir para la pròxima vez. La persona que nos buscò muy servicial y amable y puntual. Gracias y espero la proxima vez que haya buen clima

    Excellent food, friendly crew, great guide. Kayaked and snorkelled and had a lovely time. Pick up brilliant – the driver came up two floors to my hostel to get me. Water available on the bus. Plenty of room on the boat. Relaxed itinerary.

    The cruise was a lot of fun and the coastline on Oman was beautiful. Enjoyed swimming and speed boat rides. The trippy boat was very long.

    Not recommended at all, several reasons:
    – driver was driving too fast and too many accelerations and braking. My friend was a bit sick because of this
    – activities do not take place at all in a fjord but more close to the radisson hôtel of dibba
    – activities and boat skippers are nice to do . Beautiful dishes to see during snorkeling, banana boat is funny to do, and hand fishing did not give any success

    My friend and I had a really great time!! Tour guide, activity, food, everything was wonderful. I highly recommend to my friends!

    Il viaggio è un po’ lungo… diciamo che si passa una giornata un po’ diversa però niente di che. Alla fine si va in barca in un’insenatura e li si fa il bagno. Il personale è gentilissimo e super disponibile (da *****) però non è niente di che l’escursione in sè… pochi pesci, niente barriera. Se si vuole si può fare un giro sulla ‘banana’. Forse però sbaglio io che mi ero immaginata una cosa diversa.

    You ride the equivalent of a Greyhound bus to the Omani border. Not one time did anyone make a single announcement on the way. Once there, there was a 3 hour 20 minute delay. Border guards said tour company did not forward documents in advance. Tour guides did nothing to explain things or try to help in any way- in fact told us to go speak to the border police! I will say, once we made it through the boat ride and activities were top notch. Then we left and again sat for 3 hours on a bus with no information given.

    One of the best experiences. We were able to swim, banana boat, snorkel, fish and even got taken to see natural limestone caves. The speedboat rose was a lot of fun as well.
    The transfer was smooth, journey only two hours, the cruise was on a nice clean ship and the buffet lunch was very decent. We had snacks and refreshments as well.
    Overall loved the experience and highly recommend.

    The relaxing atmosphere. You can do as little or as much as you want. The staff will make you feel comfortable either way

    We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Crew took care of everything from cooking lunch to providing activities such as snorkeling, swimming, banana riding, and transfer.

    The day trip was just okay, but if you have more interesting things to do in Dubai, I would skip this trip, unless you just want to tick off Oman as another country visited.
    The scenery from Dibba is drab and boring, mostly just brown rocks everywhere. Communication was not great; the other reviews were accurate about this. The tour guide did not do much to explain things and we were often left in mystery as to what was going on. The majority of the group were Russians, and the tour guides spent most of the time speaking in Russian, leaving us English speakers confused.
    The buffet lunch was alright. But overall the trip didn’t seem very fun compared to other activities that are available from Dubai.
