Good cardiovascular fitness and upper-body endurance; able to paddle steadily for stretches of 20–40 minutes.
Dolphins are commonly sighted in Musandam fjords but sightings cannot be guaranteed; encounters depend on pod location and sea conditions.

Trips are canceled for rough sea/weather for safety; booking policies usually allow a full refund if canceled 24+ hours ahead.
Telegraph Island hosted a mid-19th-century British telegraph relay station connecting India and Britain; the ruins remain a visible marker of imperial maritime infrastructure.
