Head out into the Gulf of Oman on your own private boat. Your captain will take you to the best spots for dolphin watching before you continue down the coast to Bandar Al Khiran. This area consists of a cluster of islets renowned for an abundance of marine life, including coral reefs, colorful fish, turtles, rays, and moray eels. Spend some time snorkeling in the shallow waters before heading to a nearby beach for lunch.

On arrival at the beach, you will find your own gazebo waiting for you, including rugs and comfy chairs, perfect for escaping from the sun's rays. A dedicated team will prepare a delicious BBQ meal for you while you sit back and take in the views. There is also a cool box packed with soft drinks and water.

After lunch, you can lie on the beach, where mats, umbrellas, and towels are provided, or head back into the sea for some more swimming and snorkeling before your boat takes you back to Muscat.
