Abdul and his team gave us a wonderful day, surpassing expectations. Our pick up was prompt, food and drinks plentiful and the team was polite and attentive (as well as being excellent dolphin spotters!). We saw several dolphin pods very close to the boat! We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling and stunning views of the rugged landscape. The walk to the viewpoint of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea was well worth the effort, just spectacular. The wooden dhow itself was lovely, with comfy cushions and carpets. Thanks so much for a fantastic experience!

We took the half day cruise, this is the second time we have done this and it was just as good as the first time - Brilliant and great value for money. If you are taking the trip while your cruise ship is in port, don't waste your money on buying it through the cruise company, the dhow companies have many dhows and their tour people are waiting right by the port gate to book you on a dhow - it's a fraction of the cost that you would pay the cruise company.
You pay in Dirhams or Euros - I think it works out to approximately £20 per person. The cost is 25 Euros or 77 Euros if you buy your ticket off the ship - triple the money for the same trip - crazy!!
The dhow will take you sailing through azure waters between high mountains and into the fjords - it's so majestic and the waters are calm.
A stop is made for swimming and snorkeling and dolphins will swim along side the dhow frequently jumping out of the water. The snorkeling equipment is available on board so it is not necessary to take your own.
Refreshments are offered free of charge on board, coffee, fresh fruits, soft drinks and water.
You can sit in the sun or in the shade on the dhow and they hold approximately 24 people.
It's a great trip - don't miss it.

I had pre-booked the half-day dhow tour from home. Khasab Sea Tours had confirmed everything correctly by email and wanted to pick me up at the cruise port with a name tag. When I arrived at the cruise terminal, there were a few operators with name tags, but no one from Khasab Seaa Tours was there - and no one showed up in the next hour. I was not notified either. So I was forced to spontaneously book on site with another operator who offered the same tour - but it took about 2 hours for them to find their guests. The tour itself was very nice. I hadn't paid anything in advance with Khasab Sea Tours - it was supposed to be paid in cash at the port. I was disappointed with this operator and would book with get your guide next time, who reliably picked up their guests at the terminal with name tags.

We had booked from Khasab Sea Tours (KST) already in November 2016 a full day private dhow cruise to Kumzar Village for 2 persons including VISITING the village for 11 August 2017. On arrival at KST’s office in Khasab on 10 August 2017, we paid AED 2000 for the trip.
For visiting Kumzar one is required to have a permit to be arranged by a tour company, in our case KST.
On 11 August 2017, at our arrival there at about 12:00 noon local time, the skipper of your dhow told us that he was unable to bring us ashore to visit Kumzar village, because his dhow had too much draft. Bobbing in front of Kumzar for an hour or so, the skipper was trying to phone some people.
KST had obviously failed to arrange for someone capable to sail a flat bottomed boat to bring us ashore. They also had not organized a tender to be tied to the dhow. The skipper himself could have brought ashore, after he had dropped anchor.
Therefore, we could not go ashore to visit Kumzar village. The only other option was to tie the vessel up at the dock which involved a one way walk of at least 30 minutes.
On 11 August 2017, Kumzar village reached midday temperatures of soaring 38°C in the SHADE. In the SUN the temperatures would have been much higher. Walking in the sun to the village and return would have caused us heat exhaustion, if not a heat stroke.
We did not pay 2000 AED for being skippered around for a few hours without seeing anything, not even dolphins. The purpose of booking AND paying for this trip was VISITING Kumzar village in person.
On our return from a world trip, we informed KST immediately by email requesting a refund for NOT being able to visit Kumzar village because of their firm’s failure to organize a flat bottomed boat or a tender tied to the dhow.
We attached copy of our entire correspondence to our email. We did so twice, requesting a return receipt with highest priority. None of our emails were answered, let alone Khasab Sea Tours confirming a refund.
You better stay away from them!

There are at-least 4 tour companies available in Musandham and unfortunately we went to these guys.
Tour started at 0930 and at around 1100 we were at the middle of the ocean and the boat engine died. No tour guide present and the boat driver (captain) not saying anything. We had to sit for 1 hr in the hot sun to get another boat to rope us to telegraph island. Again another 30 min to trouble shoot the engine and at the end, they tied us to another boat and pulled us back to the shore. We had to breath the smoke for 1hr from the boat towing us. That was the whole dhow trip!!
Completely unprofessional driver (Smoking inside the dhow)
No snorkeling
No dolphin watch
No swimming or stopping at the island
No tour guide
At the end, when i asked for refund, the staff said the manager has gone, so i don't know anything. After driving 400kms from abudhabi, this experience was nothing short of a disaster.
My advice, don't ever try these guys, they are a complete failure. There are other good operators out there.

We enjoyed our half-day trip in the fijords of Khasab. The scenery is fantastic. The tour operators included fruit and non-alcoholic beverages. We saw lots of dolphins and the boat's captain would explain some of the surrounding areas to us. We were on a cruise and found this tour that was considerably cheaper than the one offered by the cruise line. We were met at the dock and there were no issues getting to the tour. Would definitely recommend!

We arrived on a MSC cruise ship with a day in Khasab and picked them up by chance after deciding to give the extortionate rates charged by the ship a miss. In the end we probably paid a third by organising directly with KST, one of the companies eager for your business when disembarking the cruise port. A five minute minibus ride out of the main dock and we were jumping on board our dhow. Joining a group of mostly Italians, we had a great half-day cruise that lasted for around 3.5 hours in which time we managed to see some stunning Fjord-like coastline, watch the playful dolphins race the dhow and then snorkel off Telegraph Island. Strangely the Europeans didn’t fancy seeing the wonderful fish and coral, our family were the only ones to go in the water although there were plenty of others from the 3 or 4 other dhow boats there at the time. The captain helped make the experience, letting any of the passengers pose for photos pretending to steer the ship and did a great job with the dolphin watching. Fruit and soft drinks were thrown in.

My friends and I purchased the dhow cruise and beach camping package with Khasab Sea Tours. Shanawar from KST was very helpful with confirming our booking at short notice and also providing information regarding the tour. We had a great time on the cruise - enjoying the view of the beautiful mountains in Musandam, watching dolphins, snorkeling and also camping at the beach for the night. The only gripe I have is that the dhow was not clean. But overall, KST organized a very memorable tour.

The Cruise itself and the service, the staff and the private boat for our family group of 8 was very good. We had a great time on board and the pick-up at the the cruise ship port was good as well. Everything was fine until we have been dropped us of at the same place where we startet the dhow cruise at the pier opposite the harbour of our ship. After we finished the tour there we walked up to the road, where the shuttle bus brought us in the morning. Unfortunately nobody was there - no shuttle bus, nobody from Khasab Tours was there and the staff from our dhow cruise disappeared. It is much too far to walk back to the ship and there are no taxis. When we discussed what to do, a man from another tour company came and we asked him for help. He made some phone calls for us to find out, what happened. He took care of us und drove us back to our ship in his own big car, which was very nice and friendly! I never heard from Khasab Tours what has happened and why they did not dropped us off near our cruise ship or why there was no shuttle back to the ship from the dhow port. We were lucky to meet somebody, who took care of us instead - otherwise we would have had a big problem to be back on time before our soon departure time of the ship!
