Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve
Wat gasten zeggen
You stay at this place to join the turtle watching tours in the evening or at dawn. While we were visiting outside the peak season we were lucky to have a sighting the evening we were there. Even better the next morning we walked to the magnificent adjacent beach and were lucky to see a baby turtle manage to walk from its hatching site to the sea, together with a couple of curious ghost crabs. This was the highlight of our two weeks in Oman. The museum on the first floor is well done and worth a visit. Food for breakfast and dinner, as was the case everywhere else we stayed, was excellent. Staff friendly and obliging, also excellent guide for the turtle watch.

The eco tents were very comfortable and air conditioned. Breakfast is included. The highlight is of course the turtles! As a guest you participate in the evening excursion at 20h30 and the morning excursion at 05h50. We saw four turtles in the evening and one turtle in the morning. Amazing to witness them nesting. The guides were very imformative.

Came for the turtle excursions and got to see nesting turtles during both the night and predawn trips. Room was more than adequate with good AC and a fridge for water. Included breakfast was fine but the dinner buffet was in no way worth the 12 Omani rial (about 31 USD) each charged. Captive audience. Don’t miss the beach area. Absolutely stunning geology and scenery. Serious rip tide though so be careful.

This place is the best one in case you want to have an organized excursion to see Turtles, their nests, and wild nature. We appreciate that the guides and guests were respectful of turtles.

We have stayed one night at Ras Al Jinz. Correct hotel at the end of the road. We cannot go further. We had a family room with neverseen double bunker beds. Thanks to our stay at the hotel, we were able to go to the 2 turtle sessions at 9PM (a bit crowded) and 5AM. The hotel is very pricy but it is worth it to be first in line for the turtle session. There is a restaurant in the hotel but seems very expensive compared to Oman' standards.

An exclusive setting to view the lovely landscape and coastline. Obviously, its situation near the famous beach where the greenback turtles come to nest and lay their eggs, is exceptional, and a wonderful way to embrace nature in its purist form.

The Luxury Eco tents were very nice! Well set up with everything you need. The AC worked amazingly well. The restaurant was good, the night chef was amazing and help me navigate my food allergies so I could eat.

The reserve is located 1km walk from the turtles. Just go there for thurtles only! Evening 20.30 and morbing 5.00 excursons included in the price. Tours are nice, as far as vissiting protected turtles can be. Always a doubt wether its ok to disturb the turtles. They didnt seem to bother. Guide managed the group arround the turtles. They managed as good as they could. Rooms were spacious and comfey.

A great stay to see the turtles. Worth staying at the property to get the morning tour - less crowded and more to see as you have sunlight! The eco tent is quite basic but it’s comfortable and clean. It has the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. It can get very windy up there though so it was quite noisy during the night. Either way, you’re not going to get a great night’s sleep because you have to get up early for the morning tour!
