Nature & Adventure

January 7^th, 2026

Day 1

Just a short flight from Abu Dhabi, we landed in Oman full of energy and raring to go! With no time to waste we transferred to the beautiful Daymaniyat Islands over stunning turquoise waters. Hard to believe this is so close to the UAE!

A quick stop for some much needed lovely lunch, before we went snorkelling in the marine reserve. With vibrant coral reefs on display in crystal clear waters, what's not to love! This energetic bunch finally had a minute to themselves as the evening saw us head to the capital Muscat, check in and hit the hay.

Day 2

After our beautiful day yesterday, another action packed day lay ahead on our Nature and Adventure tour. This bunch were well up for it and off we went. First stop was a hike around Wadi Shab. A unique dramatic canyon where some swimming was required through crystal clear pools to reach the hidden cave.

A stop for lunch again before visiting the amazing Bimmah sinkhole for a much needed refreshing dip. Naturally formed by mother nature, the sinkhole is a sight to behold and there's not many more relaxing places.

Day 3

Onward bound to Bandar Khairan Islands. Objective number 1... Dophin Spotting. Accompanied with some snorkelling there's not many better ways to spend a morning outdoors. With some keen eyes on board, it was to no avail as we were evaded by the majestic sea creatures before jumping in ourselves for some more coral reef exploration. And yes... We found Nemo.

After a stunning lunch on the beach, it was time for some more fun and team building. Lots of beach games, volleyball tournaments, tug of war, chill and water activities ensued as we had another beautiful afternoon. A relaxing mall visit lies ahead this evening... A day of dry land is in store tomorrow with some more cultural excursions planned.
