On your way to the highlight of watching the turtles lay their eggs and hatch, you’ll stop at Wadi Shabb, the wadi with the waterfall inside a cave!
This trip is for adults, families and kids who want to experience the magic of Oman for a weekend!
This trip requires driving to Oman on Friday night, making our way to Wadi Shabb on Saturday morning, then heading to Ras al Jinz for the night on Saturday. Turtle watching will happen on Sunday morning at 5 am just before sunrise, and then we will spend the morning in the water on a snorkeling and dolphin watching trip to the bays of Ras al Jinz before returning to Muscat by 3 pm.

The hike into the canyon does require basic fitness, balance and swimming ability. It will be hot, you will go slow, but you still need to be able to walk for 45 minutes over rocks and ledges. Most people manage this without issue, but those without basic fitness will struggle.
