Disappointed

We expected more from the boat trip. The price was on high side. My son and I were also charged AED 60 in the bus, not sure what for. We had to take a bus with other 40-48 people to the boat in Oman. The snacks were small packs of cookies, boxed juice and water, uncut apples, oranges, and 5 bananas. All bananas were gone in 5 min. Lunch buffet was average, everyone received 1 chicken leg and small piece of fish with rice and noodles. They offered grilled 5 shrimp on skewers for extra $ 10, not included in trip. We were taken to small rocky beach for 20 min, th e towels that belonged to the boat were not allowed off the boat. I did a banana and speed boat ride, my son declined, he was disappointed. There photos were taken by the boat stuff for extra money, but we never had a chance to see photos. We did not take any photos. Gulf of Oman was surrounded by light brown mountains without any vegetation.

Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. The charge you mentioned (60 Dhs) is the border tax: 30 Dhs per guest for two guests, totalling 60 Dhs. This fee is indicated in the booking description. The additional portion of shrimp is subject to an extra charge and is not included in the standard menu. Regarding the banana boat, your son was declined because, in accordance with government regulations, children are not permitted to ride the banana boat. He may participate in all other available activities. Please contact us if you require any further clarification.

Great experience in Musandam, but terrible ride back to hotel

The experience itself was wonderful. The boat, the location we stopped to swim, snorkel, speedboats, etc. The food was plentiful and tasty. We knew it would involve some border crossing logistics, but the ride down was smooth. We were picked up at 7:05am and were on the boat leaving the harbor at 10:30am. My husband is 6 ft 5 inches so I had requested a seat with more leg room and to my pleasant surprise there was a "reserved" sign on an emergency row seat giving him plenty of room for the long bus ride. The ride back was another story. We stopped to drop people off at 3 locations completely different from the route on the way down. We stopped a 4th time and were loaded onto a small van. By now it was already 7pm. The driver told me husband to get in the back but I told him that he needed to sit in the front where he would have some legroom as the rest of us (about 9 people) were crammed into a small van and we did not reach our hotel until 9:15pm. There was a young family on the bus who was tracking his route via Google maps and told him he was going the wrong was at least twice. We passed the Dubai cruise terminal twice and seemed to be going around in circles. Five hours on the bus to get back way way too long and I am not sure why we didn't follow the same route we took to get to Musandam. I would recommend this excursion but check with the tour company to determine how long they expect it will take each way.
