About the Coral Gardens Snorkelling trip
Muscat’s coral gardens lie just off the coast, sheltering clouds of reef fish, and sea turtles cruise the reef edges. This three-hour guided trip leaves Marina Bandar Al Rowdha at 10 am and visits several reef sites, with about two hours in the water.
All snorkelling equipment is provided and your guide stays in the water with you, so newer snorkellers can relax as much as confident swimmers.
