جزر بندر الخيران للسياحة🌊 🌊
Exceptional service and the kindest staff. We had a boat to ourselves and went during the weekend right after Eid holidays in June.
For just 12 OMR per person (not sure if the offer is still valid), the package included:
🌅 A breathtaking sunset view on the island
🍌 Banana boat ride that starts calm… and then throws you straight into the water (expect to drink some salt water 😂)
🤿 Snorkeling for around an hour in crystal clear waters
🐢 Spotted so many turtles swimming around us
🏍️ Jet Ski rides while others swam, kayaked, or simply enjoyed the peaceful island views
The guy who assisted us barely knew English, and we barely knew Arabic, but despite the language barrier, their service was genuinely so good. He was incredibly kind and constantly watched over my uncle while we took a deep dive and swam further across while snorkeling. Otherwise, please note that someone was always accompanying him.
This one feels extra special because when we brought Michu Kaka to Muscat, that’s when I truly realized the limitations disabled people can face while travelling. But one thing I genuinely appreciate about Oman is how wheelchair-friendly so many places around Muscat are, making travel much easier and more accessible compared to many other places.
For us, the bigger challenge is that Michu Kaka is autistic, meaning he cannot independently process situations or take care of himself in adventurous environments, so activities like this are usually not possible for him. But this was one exceptional experience where we could actually include him — thanks to the incredibly understanding staff, and my younger brother, who helped lift him onto the boat and out of the boat.
Moments like this make the experience so much more special… because sometimes accessibility is not just infrastructure, it is also the kindness of people who make sure everyone gets to experience the adventure ❤️
