Snorkel with turtles near Fujairah, enjoy a BBQ lunch, and see Al Bidya Mosque, Khorfakkan Waterfall, and Amphitheatre from Dubai.

“We really enjoyed doing this. There was only four of us in the group, which almost made this a private activity (if you don’t want a crowd, I would suggest booking this early in the week, like Mondays or Tuesdays). Our guide Julia was very knowledgeable and clearly loves what she does! She took fun pictures and video of us in her goPro and then shared these for free! There was a part of Snoopy island where the water wasn’t clear and Julia quickly took us to another part. The food was tasty, but a bit cold, but this is no big deal. Highly recommend this activity!”

7.Snorkeling with turtles in Fujairah with BBQ lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 40 reviews · 4 hours · from $95

Snorkel with turtles, rays, and colorful fish in Fujairah, then enjoy a generous BBQ lunch on this small-group boat trip.

“Honestly, it’s not worth driving 4 hours for this trip. There were no turtles and barely any fish. The boat was extremely small, and the toilet was in terrible condition — even in the center area. The man driving the boat had a horrible smell; it was unbearable and made us feel sick. Because of that, we couldn’t even continue with the second snorkeling session. Overall, a very disappointing experience.”

“Fahad (sorry about spelling!) was fantastic - he took the beginners divers, was very calm, reassuring and fun! My friend was terrified at the start and felt instantly safe. You go to different spots to both snorkel and dive and can swim through swarms of different fishes - we even seen turtles! Nice changing facilities, comfortable both and tasty lunch afterwards! Would definitely recommend diving here over in Dubai / Jumeriah! Driver was also amazing - really friendly and flexible. Because of Dubai traffic, pick up and drop off can be long but this can’t be helped. 5 ⭐️ stars, would recommend!”

“We had a truly wonderful experience on this tour, it was well-organised, relaxing, and full of incredible moments. The highlight was definitely the snorkeling sessions, especially getting to swim alongside turtles in the beautiful Omani waters. It really was a surreal and serene experience! Our driver, Asad, was friendly and helpful throughout the day, and the snorkelling instructor, Julia, was excellent, knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, no matter their skill level and took lots of lovely pictures! The only part that fell a little short was the BBQ. While advertised as such, it was more of a basic grilled meal, and unfortunately by the time we finished showering,…”
