"Coastal Explorer"

The beauty of this trip is unrivalled. Travelling down the coast by boat and continuing by vehicle it shows off the best of the northern Oman coastline complete with spectacular scenery, and wildlife.

Day One
We pick you up from your hotel in Muscat and transfer you to the Bander Rhowda Marina. Here we will depart on our boat to explore the dramatic coastline. We will see the sites of Muscat from the sea and hopefully see some dolphins. We head for Bander Khayran which is full of secluded bays and sandy beaches where our tents will be erected while we relax on the beach or snorkel.

Day Two
Heading out of Qantab, a village near our camp, we head south along the coast to the fishing town of Quriyyat. We continue along the coast, visiting the Bimah sinkhole, one of the wonders of Oman and the twin wadi’s of Tiwi and Shab. The afternoon is taken up exploring the wadi’s, clambering over big boulders and swimming in their deep pools. We arrive late afternoon to White Beach at Fins where our tents have been erected and dinner is on the go.

Day Three
Leaving the camp after breakfast and a quick swim, we arrive in Sur mid-morning. Here we have the opportunity to wander around this famous boat-building town. Home to the Arabian dhow, Sur is rich in tradition and it is possible to see the traditional boat-building methods still being used today. Leaving the port, we head towards Ras al Jinz for the night. This evening we go to see the Green Back turtles laying their eggs on the beach.

Day Four
Today we depart for Muscat.
