Our Story
It started with a boat, a love for the ocean, and a belief that the Daymaniyat Islands deserved to be experienced — not just read about.
In 2023, Huzefa launched Daymaniyat Islands Tours from Seeb Marina with a simple mission: give every visitor to Muscat the chance to see what lies beneath the surface of the Arabian Sea. No overcrowded tourist traps. No rushed schedules. Just crystal-clear water, thriving coral reefs, and the kind of marine encounters — sea turtles, tropical fish, and the occasional dolphin — that stay with you long after you’re home.
What began as a small operation with a single boat has grown into one of Muscat’s most trusted island tour operators. In just two years, we’ve welcomed over 5,000 guests from more than 50 countries, completed 600+ tours, and built a reputation for safety, reliability, and genuinely unforgettable experiences.
But the numbers only tell half the story. What drives us is the look on a child’s face when they see a sea turtle for the first time. The couple who chose our sunset snorkeling tour for their anniversary. The solo traveler who almost didn’t book but messages us weeks later saying it was the highlight of their entire trip.
The Daymaniyat Islands are a protected nature reserve, and we take that responsibility seriously. We operate with official marine reserve permits, follow strict environmental protocols, and believe that responsible tourism is the only way to ensure these islands remain as pristine for future visitors as they are today.
This isn’t just a business. It’s a passion for sharing one of Oman’s greatest natural treasures with the world.
