Dolphin Watching in Salalah: A Magical Encounter
Salalah’s waters are home to playful pods of dolphins, and there’s no better way to see them up close than from the water itself. Departing straight from Hawana Salalah, this 1.5-hour boat trip takes you out to sea in search of dolphins in their natural habitat.
Join us in the morning for calm waters and active pods, or in the afternoon for a sunset trip as the sky turns gold over the Arabian Sea — whichever suits you best, based on availability. Sit back, relax, and enjoy chilled water and juice on board while our crew guides you toward the best dolphin sightings along the coast.
Whether it’s your first time seeing dolphins in the wild or you’re a returning guest, this short, refreshing trip is one of the easiest ways to experience Salalah’s marine life without committing a full day.
Detailed Itinerary
Departure is from Hawana Salalah. If you're staying within Hawana Salalah (e.g. Fanar, Fanar Club, Rotana, or Juweira), no transfer is needed — just meet us at the marina.
If you're staying outside Hawana Salalah, you can add a roundtrip transfer for 5 OMR per person (subject to availability). Please contact us in advance to arrange this.
We depart directly from the marina at Hawana Salalah. Once on board, our crew will head out along the coastline to the areas where dolphins are most commonly spotted, keeping an eye out for pods along the way.
You'll have around 1.5 hours on the water, with plenty of time to watch, take photos, and enjoy your drink on board before returning to Hawana Salalah.
After the dolphin watching boat tour, we will drive you comfortably back to your hotel in Salalah.

We started our trip on August 24th, and from the beginning, everything with Go Salalah Tour was smooth and easy. Communication was excellent, from booking and picking up the car to answering all our questions throughout the trip. They also shared great recommendations and helped us discover some of the best places in Salalah. This trip was just the beginning, and I’ll definitely deal with them again in the future. A special thanks to Kate for always staying in touch and answering all our questions, and to Abdulaziz for always being available and supportive. Thank you Go Salalah Tour for a great experience! ❤️Posted on Google![]()

I had such a wonderful experience with Go Salalah Tours. My guides, Ahmed and Ibrahim, were both fantastic, knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. Ibrahim took shortcuts to make the journey easier and even treated me to a lovely snack. Kate, the manager, was incredibly helpful and sweet, and the owner was so lovely too. Everyone made me feel very welcome, and I truly enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend them!Posted on Google![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! I contacted Go Salalah Tour through WhatsApp and was impressed by their prompt and helpful response. The entire process was smooth, including the convenient payment arrangements. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Definitely a service I would highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Azuz was a fantastic guide on our East Khareef Tour. He was extremely informative, knowledgeable and patiently answered every question we had. What stood out most was how wonderfully he interacted with my 10-year-old son, while also keeping my two older, almost-adult kids engaged and interested throughout the tour. Patient, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. A big thumbs up 👍 to Azuz for making our experience so enjoyable and memorable.Posted on Google![]()

Thankyou for your services we enjoyed every day. InshaAllah next time we will come with more days so that we can checkout the places we didn’t see this time. And the driver had also been very accommodating with me especially with having all the kids too. The best exploring and sightseeing experience we’ve had by far. On line with Muscat Bay. We loved it. Thankyou for having us Oman 🇴🇲🤍 Thankyou again 👍Posted on Google![]()

Je viens de rentrer d'un trip incroyable à Salalah avec ma famille et honnêtement je ne m'attendais pas à ça. On a fait du 4x4 dans les dunes, des wadis avec de l'eau turquoise, des paysages complètement dingues — rien à voir avec le reste du Golfe. L'équipe de Go Salalah était top : super sympa, patiente avec ma petite sœur de 10 ans, et notre guide connaissait tous les bons spots (et les meilleurs endroits pour les photos 😄). Si vous hésitez, foncez. Merci pour tout ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
