Rosie Morgan review 17 Feb 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Beautiful scenery, kind weather and good company.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Pick your dates - the turtle viewing was non existent in February and spent lots of wasted time to be told so. Poor experience sat doing nothing!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Met a few locals - pretty much staged. Still using lots of plastic bottles for water. Very little local food, taken to fast food restaurants on a few occasions.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Ok but a little underwhelming.Read the operator's response here:
Hi Rosie, thank you for your review. We try to reduce the use of single use plastics by providing a large water bottle on the bus that clients can refill their bottle from but in general, the Middle East is behind much of the rest of the world on reducing plastic use unfortunately . In regards to the turtle viewing, although it is not the main season for seeing turtles, quite often our groups have been lucky out of season and seen turtles. With the food, there is normally an opportunity to eat typical Omani food, and we’ll feedback to the tour leader on this. We are happy that you still had a good time and look forward to having you again soon.

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
