Kayak in the fjords of Oman and other trips to Oman

Oman is a destination of contrasts. From the dunes that reach the beach to the fjords that rival Norway.

We have prepared three different routes so you can choose how to uncover the “Secret of Arabia”. Would you prefer an immersive cultural journey, an expedition into uninhabited deserts or an active kayaking trip through Oman’s fjords?

Kayaking through the fjords of Oman

At the end of the Arabian peninsula and forming the Strait of Hormuz is the peninsula of Musandam, belonging to Oman but surrounded by Arab emirates. The mountains meet the waters of the strait, forming magnificent fjords with calm, clear water. For 6 days we will paddle through them, with walks to explore the region.

Paddling slowly through crystal-clear water, surrounded by spectacular scenery and marine wildlife.

Empty Quarter, tropical Salalah and the Hajar Mountains

Rocky mountains cut by wadis inviting us to swim, a vast sandy desert reaching the Indian Ocean and traditional Omani hospitality. This route also explores Dhofar, the land of frankincense, where ancient trade routes left their archaeological traces, and one of the gateways to the overwhelming Empty Quarter.

A perfect combination for those seeking authenticity, unusual landscapes and a rich cultural experience, far from conventional tourism.

The Secret of Arabia

Recently opened to visitors, the Sultanate of Oman surprises us with its contrasts. Dunes and mountain deserts give way to quiet beaches, rivers and lush oases. Traditional adobe buildings stand beside ancient fortresses in towns and cities, while markets add splashes of colour.

Discover the contrast between the desert landscape of dunes and mountains and the tranquil oasis with dense vegetation.
