Itinerary
Inside the large cave, we spend around 20 minutes snorkeling and exploring the natural wonders it holds. During this time, our skilled skipper will share fascinating tales about the legendary pirate Haxhi Ali and the rich history surrounding the cave.
After exploring the cave, we sail along the stunning Karaburun Peninsula, admiring its unique rock formations and pristine, wild beaches. We stop at a beautiful beach featuring a private restaurant serving local cuisine and drinks. Umbrellas and sunbeds are available for an extra fee. After enjoying the crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views, we head back to Vlore, a journey of about 30 minutes.

We were like a family and couldn't sit together. Eventually we sat down together after a stop which according to the captain was possible.But 4 people were right we were 8 after whole discussion we could still sit, music way too loud. Captain and skipper of the two boats that stayed together drank alcohol shots. In the end, it was just reckless behavior toward each other splashing water on the aft part of the boat and not a little bit. Cell phone full of water also just swallowed water not yet recovered or it already happened back. It was a party especially for the crew. Tequila Raki small shots even the lady we booked with partied happily along.
Top experience!! A must-do with family or friends, it is truly fun!!
Top experience 👍🏼 Pleasant boat outing
Amazing trip at all thanks.hjjj
The trip is nice but the boat was so crowded. We had several other boat trips in Albania. Unfortounately this was the poorest.
I LOVED ITT!! Our tour guide was the most nicest person ever, it was soo fun and he was very informative, would 100% recommend
I strongly advise against booking with this company. What was meant to be a fun trip with friends turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience from start to finish. Our group booking was clearly mishandled — too many people were accepted, and as a result, we were treated as “extras” and placed on a boat that simply did not have enough space. Although they claim a capacity of 18 people, this is unrealistic. There were not enough proper seats, forcing one of my friends to sit uncomfortably on the edge for the duration of the trip. We attempted to raise our concerns, but no one listened or made any effort to resolve the situation. To make matters worse, we were transferred to another company’s boat, leaving us with a provider that took no responsibility for our safety or experience. The lack of basic safety standards was alarming. There were no proper instructions given at any point. Life jackets were not offered until we were already out at sea — and even then, we were expected to stand up on an unstable boat to access them, which felt unsafe and was ultimately refused. While entering caves, there was water dripping from above, yet no helmets were provided. The guide’s behavior was equally unacceptable. He was smoking on the rubber boat, and when asked politely to stop due to the smoke blowing directly into our faces, he responded with attitude, dismissing our concern by saying others were fine with it. Overall, the guide was rude and unprofessional, reflecting poorly on the company as a whole. In the end, we spent five hours in discomfort, with no enjoyment and no opportunity to even take photos or properly experience the trip with friends. I would strongly recommend choosing a different company.
Had a nice experience. Paid 50 euro for me and my partner, and had a boat trip for 3-4hours. The staff took good care of us and we had some music also, it was good vibes all the way.
Great presentation. Exiting speedboat rides and amazing scenery. The cave was awesome. The military island eyeopening!
Awesome expérience! There is nothing I did not like about it. The boat trip itself is worth the expérience. (Thanks to Cize and Bushi). The music was good, the wind and the waves were there. We were able to stop by Sazan Island, to see the Haxhi Ali Cave and spend time at the Karaburun péninsula. I wanted to do the big tour but the météorological condition made it not possible. Everyone at the companie was very nice to Keep me informed about it. There are all frirendly. Loved and recommend this compagnie for discovering the Water around Vlorë. Thanks.
