We had an amazing trip! The team was super involved and helpful , they were very engaged with the families, and they went according to the group’s pace and comfort level. We will definitely do this often with the Capitano team! -
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 -
A perfect trip from beginning to end, for a groups of adults with kids under 6. We booked the dolphin-watching and snorkeling trip and were greeted by a massive pod of dolphins within about 30 mins of leaving the marina. Chris from Capitano Oman had loads of information to share about the dolphins and was mindful to get a good balance of letting us enjoy the dolphins without feeling overwhelmed with information. Magical. When we moved on to snorkelling, Chris was amazing with the kids. He was also clearly environmentally conscious. It was a great way to spend a morning keeping cool in the May heat. Thanks to all the team 🐬🤿 - Nice trip

A perfect end to a perfect day. We saw an amazing sunset from the perfect spot offshore with captain Hanif. Highly recommended tour company. -
Excellent trip and very reasonable price -
One of the best sea tours that you can get in Muscat. The boats are very clean an well functioning, the cost is very reasonable compared to market and above all the service is very friendly and supportive. When they are fully booked they don't let you wonder around, but they support you in finding a good tour. This type of customer service is very rare, however it is what makes them unique and special. This what also made them the number one choice for me, my family and friends.
