Excellent trip. Well organised and on time. A great way to see the must see sights around Sarande in the heat! Very comfortable air conditioned mini bus. Knowledgeable tour guide a bonus. Thank you 🤩
Honnest prices. Feel free on board of your own small boat. We weten 4 adults and had plenty of space on the boat. Great family experience. Cute bar (Tongo bar) on the way that can only be reached by boat and has been created out in the wilderness. If you want to relax, this is the way to do it. Friendly and professional. Yes, you can do a boat trip from Saranda too at a higher price and with well crowded stop places. Enough parking atvtje start. Only 35 minuten from Saranda. Recommended!!!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're happy you enjoyed the tour and appreciated our team’s service. We hope to see you again soon!
It’s really fun, especially the kayak and the blue eye is beautiful! It’s a bit longer of a tour than needed. We hung out in the kayaks for about an hour too long waiting to go up to the blue eye. Otherwise great value and we’re glad we went.
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the kayaking and the beauty of the Blue Eye 😊 We appreciate your feedback on timing and will work on improving the flow. Hope to see you again!
Such an amazing experience from start to finish. The walk to the Blue Eye is beautiful, and getting out on the water in the kayaks was an absolute blast. It's the perfect way to see Albania’s stunning natural landscape. Well worth the time and money highly recommend to anyone looking for a bit of adventure.
Thank you so much for your rating,it was a pleasure having you on the tour .
Lovely experience if you are two. Splendid views of the city from Lekursi Castle. The kayak trip was very relaxing and brought back good childhood memories. Kudos to the exceptional guide who both borrowed us phone and money for photo making and café visit (we had put in from us most of the before the kayaking trip), this was completely unexpected have even never been gone in such nice and trustful guide before. Really recommend this trip to others :)
Thank you so much for your kind words—it really means a lot! I’m very glad you enjoyed the experience and the time at Lekursi Castle. As for what I did, it was honestly nothing special—just something anyone would do in that situation to help. I’m happy it made your day a bit easier and more enjoyable. Hope to see you again sometime! 😊
It was truly a great experience. The guides were super nice and very knowledgeable. Everything was well organized, and you had plenty of time everywhere to take photos and enjoy yourself. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your rating and recommendation. It was a pleasure having you on the tour!
Very nice experience. You will first be taken by van to the castle where you will be told a bit about the castle and you will have time to enjoy the beautiful view. Then you go by van to Blue Eye, where you first go by kayak over the river. The river is beautiful and the kayaking is doable. Then you have time to look around and afterwards you go back to the bus by the river with the train after which you will be taken back to the starting point. Very friendly guide and a top experience!
Thank you so much for your rating,we are really happy that you enjoyed kayak activity and hope to have you agin in the future as guest. Thank you!
