The Local Lynx will take you to the backdrop that speaks to your travel soul.

From hands-on camping to luxurious getaways, there’s something for every adventurer. Browse our tours by format and travel style.
Choose Your Adventure
What gets your heart racing? Cayaking through tight canyon ridges on turquoise wadi-waters, exploring ancient caves or hiking to the peak of The Sun Mountain (Jebel Shams)? Or are you more the chilled-out type and prefer stargazing in serene desert, birdwatching at pink lagoons or diving to vibrant coral reefs? From adrenaline-filled abseiling to wild swimming - Oman offers a playground for outdoor lovers of all kinds. Dive into your favorite activity and find the tour that matches your spirit of adventure.
North to South: Find Your Oman
Cruise the fjord-lined coast of Musandam, often called the 'Norway of Arabia'. Feel the cool mountain breeze in Al Dakhiliyah, explore the unusual metropolis Muscat, or chase monsoon clouds through the green hills of Dhofar during Khareef season. Whether you're drawn to northern cliffs or southern monsoons, explore Oman region by region and find the one that speaks to your travel soul.
Oman year-round
Oman is not just a hot, sandy corner of the Arabian Peninsula but a year-round destination with striking seasonal variety. Plan your journey around its nature’s rhythm — Winter offers ideal temperatures for desert adventures, camping and cultural exploration, while summer surprises with cool mountain escapes and coastal breezes. Whether it's the lush, monsoon-soaked magic of the Khareef in Dhofar or harvesting season of the famous Damask roses in Jebel Akhdar: this section helps you discover what to do, where to go, and when to come.
Craft Your Custom Oman Experience
So, you've seen a dreamy wadi on Instagram or want to combine five-star luxury with wild desert glamping? Or you prefer traveling in a helicopter or a yacht instead of a car?
