|
|
www.omantourism.gov Dolphins are popular in Oman's coastal water and whales are occasionally seen. Fahal Island is a good site to spot Dolphins in hundreds roaming around or following the tuna. Spinner, Common and some Bottlenose dolphins are the main types. Orcas playing round the island have been reported twice in 2002. Also whales.
Tourists as well as local residents can experience the fascinating trips organised by Oman Dive Centre to watch dolphins and whales in their natural habitat.
The Centre uses traditional Omani fishing boats fully equipped with all necessary safety equipment. Plenty of space, lots of shade and free refreshments all help to maximize the watching experience. Trips are arranged in early morning and at sunset.
Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent animals. They are sensitive to disturbance and can easily be hit by vessels, including their propellers. Shall one decided to undertake the experience by self, he/she should be careful not to disturb or herd them in any way. If they approach the boat, or attempt to bow-ride, he/she should maintain a slow speed and course until they are clear. |
