Fantastic excursion

We booked the tour on Tripadvisor, and received a message shortly after for more information about our trip by our guide, which we liked very much. The tour itself was lovely, tour and history about the castle and fantastic kayaking on the river plus a train ride back to the car. We got plenty of time between each activity to look around a bit for ourselves. Highly recommended.

Recommended to do when you are in Saranda or the area.

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!!!
