Overview
The boat leaves the Umluj marina for Jabal Hassan, one of the larger islands of the group, and Jabal Libnah to its west. Snorkelling is in the coral gardens around Jabal Hassan; dolphins and sea turtles may be seen in the passages between islands. There is a swim and rest stop on the beach of Jabal Libnah. The trip takes about 7 hours, and the route is shortened when the wind picks up in open water.
