However you might also see Indian Ocean dolphins, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, common bottlenose dolphins, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins, pantropical spotted dolphins and striped dolphins.

As well as watching dolphins play you will be able to view the beauty of Oman’s coastline and spend time snorkelling in the invitingly warm water.
