Explore the Islands

A Musandam tour isn’t complete without a stopover at the historical Telegraph and Seebi Islands. Because there’s no direct road to these islands, an overnight cruise is the best way to access the islands and enjoy everything they have to offer. As you sit back, relax, and learn some delightful historical facts, you can also catch glimpses of small fishermen villages and Musandam’s exquisite marine life. 

You’ll spend the remainder of your overnight stay at Telegraph Island, which gives you the perfect opportunity to fish, swim, and snorkel in the island’s pristine waters. 

Dolphin Watching 

You’ll kickstart your overnight cruise by enjoying some natural dolphin watching and it’s undeniably one of the main attractions of a Musandam Oman tour. The cruise will stop by the dolphin watching area to help you capture some Instagram-worthy snapshots. You’ll have the chance to witness dolphins in their natural habitat as they dance and jump. The dolphins might even near the cruise to interact with viewers, so keep those cameras poised and record these moments to keep forever. 

Fun Activities for All 

At Telegraph Island, trained staff can help you experience the joys of fishing. From hooking a bait to making a catch, all equipment will be provided and you’ll learn the art of fishing the traditional way. 

Additionally, if you want to experience a wide variety of marine life that’s only available in Musandam, you’ll have a chance to go snorkeling and swimming in Seebi Island during the day when the waters are warm and crisp. The island is considered to have some of the best waters for swimming and snorkeling, so be sure to pack a swimsuit to make the most of the experience. 

At the end of the night, you can listen to music, play card games, and enjoy some entertainment on board before you settle in for a comfortable night’s sleep. 

Live BBQ Dinner and Breakfast 

After the fishing activities, a live BBQ dinner will follow, where you’ll have the chance to grill your fresh catches. The dinner includes a delicious spread of chicken tikka, grilled fish, chicken kebab, fried rice, Arabic bread, hummus, salad, soft drinks, and more. The dinner is an excellent way to enjoy the sights of the expansive fjords and spend quality time with your friends and family. 

If you wake up feeling peckish, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast on the boat, which will include boiled eggs, yogurt, jams, bread, coffee, tea, bottled juices, and more. To guarantee a satisfying dining experience, be sure to mention any food allergies and preferences.
