Tour Highlights

Scenic Drive to Wadi Shab

Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your hotel, the seaport, or the airport in Muscat. We’ll embark on a scenic drive along the stunning Omani coast toward the town of Sur. After 1.5-2 hours, we arrive at Wadi Shab’s parking lot.

Hiking and Boating Experience

Next, we start our journey with a short motorboat ride across clear azure waters. After the boat ride, a 30-45 minute hike through the canyon awaits you. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of steep cliffs, fruit plantations, and tranquil pools.

Swimming and Relaxation

At the end of the hiking trail, you have two options. You can swim through a series of beautiful pools, or simply relax at the ‘end point’. This spot is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. For the more adventurous, swimming through to a hidden cave with an incredible waterfall is an unforgettable experience.
