About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Daymaniyat Islands Nature Reserve, Gulf of Oman, Seeb 121 Oman
A day trip on a catamaran will take you to the nine neighbouring Daymaniyat Islands, a protected marine nature reserve. A paradise for underwater explorers, they feature walls, drop-offs, submerged reefs, swim-throughs and caves. Whilst is not permitted to step onto the Daymaniyat Islands at any time between May and October (they become a nesting ground for turtles and local wildlife), anchoring offshore to take a swim is permitted year-round. Shallow coral reefs teem with over 1100 different species at each of the Daymaniyat’s 24 dive sites, hosting a wealth of sea life that’s unparalleled in the region. With so much of the incredible marine life close to the water’s surface, snorkelling at the large unspoiled reefs is a particularly rewarding experience.
On the day, you will depart the marina at around 9.30am, after a short introduction and safety briefing. Following a leisurely 3-hour sail to the Daymaniyat Islands nature reserve, you will arrive around midday, ensuring you have plenty of time to swim, snorkel, paddle board and explore this stunning set of islands. Enjoy lunch onboard at your leisure, before sailing South, back along the coastline, allowing you to enjoy the sunset before returning to Al Mouj Marina.
