Help Me ChoosePlan around the season
The Daymaniyat Islands are a protected nature reserve. Access rules change during the year to help protect nesting turtles and other wildlife, so the experience may differ according to your travel date.
This is the period when approved island visits, beach stops and overnight camping may operate, subject to permits, weather and sea conditions.
During this protected period, guests can still enjoy the water and views around the islands, but tours must remain boat-based.
Snorkelling, scuba diving, private boat trips and cruising may operate throughout the year, subject to availability and safe weather and sea conditions. Wildlife sightings always depend on nature.
