Getting There
-
Public Bus
From anywhere in Muscat, head to the nearest bus stop that services the main routes. Look for buses labeled with 'C1' or 'C2', which head towards the Mutrah area. Board the bus and ride until you reach 'Mutrah Corniche' stop. From there, exit the bus and walk towards the waterfront; you will find several tour operators for dolphin watching and snorkeling. Confirm your booking with one of the operators, such as Sidab Sea Tours, located along the promenade.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in Muscat. Simply hail a taxi or use a ride-hailing app. Provide the driver with the destination: 'Sidab Sea Tours' or the general area of Mutrah Corniche. The ride should take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive, look for the tour operator's office near the waterfront to check in for your dolphin watching and snorkeling adventure.
-
Hotel Shuttle or Tour Operator Pickup
Many hotels in Muscat offer shuttle services or can arrange pickups for organized tours. Check with your hotel’s front desk to see if they provide a shuttle to the dolphin watching tours. If they do, simply inform them of your interest in Sidab Sea Tours or any other operator, and they will guide you on the pickup time and location. This is a convenient option if you prefer not to navigate public transport.
