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 - Our family had a lovely experience recently with capitano, Chris, ane and capitan were all great. Ease of communication on Whatsap, and on the actual day of the cruise the way Chris was dealing with our family was great. Very much kids friendly, attention to details of how to make costumer happy and let’s not forget marine life and environmental conscious. Well done to capitano team, definitely I would recommend them especially if u have children/kids.
👏 - Very well organised boat tour company with a variety of packages available. And the staff is very helpful and friendly.
- A perfect end to a perfect day. We saw an amazing sunset from the perfect spot offshore with captain Hanif. Highly recommended tour company.
- 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.
- Such a nice and professional team!! I was lucky to.enjoy an amazing tour watching all these playful dolphins, enjoying the beautiful views of the cost from the boat and feeling myself as a fish while snorkeling!!
Definetely, this company is highly recommended - Super flexible and high quality service. We did a dolphin trip and another one with snorkeling. Both were on time, well organised and reasonably priced. We also did the sunset cruise.
- Great trip! We did the dolphin watching plus snorkeling tour. Very nice boat. Saw dolphins right off the bow. Snorkeling was very nice. The provided gear was high quality. We saw several turtles, a cuttlefish and lots of pretty fish. Would recommend.
- the sunset cruise was amazing, we enjoyed every moment. Excited to try other sea activities with capitano!
- High quality service, perfect tour and such experience! You deserve all the best
