We did two activities with twenty3 extreme, Via Ferrata and Wadi Tiwi. Both were beyond amazing! Our guides (1. Hamid, 2. Chris) were super funny, informative, professional and well prepared. Communication beforehand was easy and helpful, we were given lots of tips regarding which tours to do and they even made a tour possible for us even when they actually were fully booked. We were picked up both days from the point where you need 4x4. Luckily, for both tours, we had the guide and the place completely to us, which was awesome. Even though the tours are more expensive than the ones you can book with not so official guides, I highly recommend going with twenty3 extreme, if only because you feel more secure with the heights, the jumps, the abseiling, the equipment and because you have a trained guide. And because you're going to have a hell lot of fun with the guys! Just stay away from the weird Australian guy (just kidding, Insider ;))

We were two and we booked the Jabal Shams via ferrata trip. I was happy that twenty3 extreme takes small groups especially during the COVID times.

Communication during booking was clear and all questions were answered. On the eve of the trip, our guide created a whatsap group where he shared with us the meeting point. We were a group of 4 with 2 professional guides, Justin and Masoud. Temperatures were checked and masks were worn until we were spaced out in the nature. All safety gears were pre-washed and quarantined for at least 72h. Water, sandwiches, apples, bananas and granola bars were offered.

We started our trip with a beautiful walk at the balcony of Jabal Shams and our guide made sure we have time for pictures and short stops for water. Then an induction was given at the start of the via ferrata. Some parts were challenging but we all felt that we were with safe hands. Safety was taken seriously but overall jokes and giggles did not stop. It was definitely a good workout with a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the day.

I would highly recommend them especially for their safety high standards and how professional they are.

Thank you Justin & Masoud!

With Twenty3Extreme, we've tackled the challenging Via Ferrata climb on Jebel Shams and explored the dark depths of Al Hoota Cave. Venturing into Snake Canyon is next on the list! Twenty3Extreme's guides are professional, knowledgeable about Oman's history and landscapes, and fun to spend the day with. Safety is of top priority to them on all adventures and they truly aim to provide a first-class, memorable experience to their clients. Highly recommend Twenty3Extreme when visiting Oman if you want to explore the most scenic landscapes with trusted guides.

Why Twenty3 Extreme?
My answer is..."WHY NOT?"
Doing this kind of activity for the first time gave me a slight apprehension...but, that kind of feeling completely vanished from beginning till the end of my adventure with twenty3 extreme. Aj gave me the full details of the trip before it commenced..including the safety measures that they provide. I felt more at ease and safe because I have an adept guide/instructor, Hamid. He is no doubt a pro. He is so patient and encouraging that's why I finished the venture safely and successfully. Also, I enjoyed listening to him imparting the history of Oman and sharing his knowledge about several other things.
Thank you Twenty3 Extreme. I highly recommend your company when it comes to adventures like this.

The Via Ferrata was a very scenic hike/climb. Our guides Hamid and Masoud were really fun and easy-going, teaching us about the landscape as we hiked along. When challenges arose while climbing, Hamid was quick to encourage and give a boost to those that needed help; he even managed to rescue a couple of stranded climbers from a different group. All in all Twenty3Extreme is a rock-solid company, you're guaranteed to have a fun and safe adventure! Thank you guys 🤙

Fairly easy hike in followed by a challenging climb up the face on the mountain via the Via Ferrata. Great guide Chris, very knowledgeable and focused on safety. Spectacular views in the Canyon of the area.

I had an incredible time this past weekend with Hamid and Masoud and my first Via Ferrata experience. Hamid spent time with me getting me out of my own head halfway up the Via Ferrata. He was patient, helpful, and helped me work through my unexpected fear and anxiety halfway up the side of a canyon. He taught me every step of the way to the finish line, and I will be forever grateful for my experience with 23 Extreme. He is an outstanding instructor, and as an educator I sincerely appreciated his attention to detail in all areas of our conversations - I learned a lot of lovely history of Oman! This company is 100% by the books when it comes to safety. Hamid’s advice and investment in me saved my life only a few days later when I took an abseiling lesson with another provider who nearly died from improper safety use. I knew how to handle myself and what to look for because of my experience in Jebel Shams with Hamid.

I look forward to taking many more trips with 23 Extreme, and am very grateful to have had my first experience with Hamid and Masoud. Thank you for an outstanding adventure, and for opening a new door for my future endeavours!

Adrenaline junkies as we are we could not have found a better company to explore the diversity of the breathtaking landscapes in Oman with than these guys.
We have done different activities with them and each of them exceeded our expectations by far.
They definitely do deserve their certificate of excellence as the guides were extremely professional, went the extra mile for us and simply live their passion.

In short our experience of the different activities:

The via ferrata was definitely our highlight in the Jebel Shams area. The start, the balcony walk, was wonderful in itself but knowing that we were not going to walk back and unlike everyone else climb the omnipresent 200-metre cliff next to us was thrilling. It’s all about safety and our guide Chris made sure we all got up there, the atmosphere was joyful. A great experience that we would both do again next time as it offers unbeatable views!

Snake Canyon 2.0: Chris and Hamid accompanied us in this deep canyon (just the road to get there is an awesome adventure!). Most of the time we were wading through the water, jumping of boulders, doing some slides and rappelling down in the shade. To be protected we were provided with top of the line gear such as wetsuits (harnesses, helmets etc.), all brand new. Chris’ knowledgde of rope work made us feel safe and had us enjoy this great experience in a unique setting!

Al Hayer Falls: this canyoning experience was a fun one with fantastic scenery and longer swims in crystal clear water. Hamid took us through the canyon where we enjoyed some great jumps far away from the touristy part. He knew the canyon like the back of his hand and was great in assisting the group as in how to get through certain parts. This canyon did not require any abseiling but was equally fun as the Snake Canyon thanks to its beauty.

Seventh Hole 1.0: I still can’t believe we did it!! To end our amazing trip in Oman we joined the rope training provided by rope specialist Justin and Hamid. Justin taught us, we were a group of four, all the rope techniques and appropriate usage of the gear in a very hands-on multiple-day training. Once we were all familiar with the rope techniques and gear we headed to the Selma plateau where we camped next to the very deep sinkhole that we were going to rappel down the next day. We had a camp fire going and descended at sunrise for the 120-metre free hanging abseil. This adventure is hard to describe in words, I would call it life-changing. Justin was extremely professional and gave us very clear instructions, we were really a team and exploring this cave is one of the greatest things we’ve done in my life (and we’ve had our share of adventures!). I would recommend everyone who is up for a serious adrenalin rush and interested in what lies beyond the Selma plateau to go for this adventure (don’t be afraid of heights!). I will definitely return to Oman, prepared, to one day to the 2.0 with this fantastic team of outdoor professionals!

I did the via Ferrata in Jebel Shams with two other girlfriends one of whom was scared and not used to heights. Both Chris and Hamid, our guides, made us feel at ease and were technically prepared to use ropes and help our newbie friend when necessary. They took all the precautionary measures to make our trip fun and safe.

This is the second trip I do with Twenty3 Extreme and cannot commend enough on their professionalism and above all their focus on safety, which is a must with these these of adventures
