Wondering when to book your marine adventure? While dolphins can be spotted year-round in the Gulf of Oman, understanding the seasons will help you plan the perfect trip.

**Peak Season: October to April**
This is widely considered the best time to see dolphins in Muscat. The weather is pleasant, and the sea is generally calm, providing excellent visibility. During these months, you are most likely to encounter large pods of Spinner and Bottlenose dolphins.

**Summer Months: May to September**
You can still see dolphins during the summer, but be prepared for higher temperatures. The early morning tours are highly recommended during this period to avoid the midday heat.

**What to Expect**
Most tours depart from Al Mouj Marina or Sidab. Dolphins are highly active in the mornings, often seen jumping and spinning near the boats. Regardless of the season, the sight of these graceful creatures against the backdrop of Muscat’s rugged coastline is a must-see experience for every visitor.
