The sea around Muscat is rich in marine life. Seasonal cold‑water currents keep the corals healthy and full of life, creating good feeding grounds for many species. As you go out at sea, you may notice animals that travel and hunt along Oman’s coast, from Musandam down to Salalah, with Muscat offering a fair share of sightings.
You may see spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins, and there are often encounters with whale sharks between May and October. False killer whales also appear, while humpback whales and orcas turn up occasionally. On rare occasions you might spot Arabian or blue whales. The provider does their best to offer wildlife watching in a responsible manner to help protect resident sea creatures and to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
