青の洞窟＆グラマベイ終日ガイド付きボートツアー

The locations we visited were absolutely beautiful, and overall the boat ride itself wasn’t too bad . Just be prepared for a fairly rough and wet ride for much of the journey. Unfortunately, I was less impressed with the tour operator. There were two people who appeared to be guides or crew on the boat. I’m assuming the second person was an employee, although at times it seemed as though our guide may have simply brought a friend along. He appeared more interested in taking selfies than looking after the guests and even asked another passenger to take photos of him. I assume he was part of the crew because the main guide allowed him to drive the boat for approximately the last half-hour of the return journey. My biggest concern, however, was the lack of refreshments. The tour ran from approximately **10:30 am until 6:30 pm**, and during that entire time we were provided with only **one 500 ml bottle of water per person**. For an eight-hour boat tour, particularly in hot weather, I think it would be reasonable to expect the operator to carry a much larger supply of drinking water for guests. My ticket also advertised **unlimited beer**. I had no intention of taking advantage of that, but there appeared to be only around five cans of beer available on the boat in total, so describing it as “unlimited” seems somewhat misleading. The destinations themselves were definitely worth seeing and were the highlight of the day. However, based on the overall service, limited refreshments and the professionalism of the crew, I would probably recommend experiencing these locations with a different tour operator.

Catastrophic experience! We booked this cruise with the low number of passengers on the boat as our essential criterion. The ad indicated fewer than 20. Boarding was very long: arriving at the meeting point at 10:10 AM for a departure announced at 10:30 AM, we waited until 11:15 AM to board. And then they made us board the boat with 30 people. Not only did it not match the description, but there were not enough real seats, so we were not all sitting on a real seat (I was on a tube). And I doubt there was safety equipment for 30... I protested, but I was told there was no other choice. Then, after 20 minutes, the engine smoked and they brought us back to the port without a replacement solution. The choice was left between a cruise the next day (impossible for most passengers who were only staying 1 day in Vlorë) or a refund. Surprisingly, everyone remained very calm: that is good, but it allows these people to continue the scam... I opted for the refund and I notice that I did not get 100% back because I have €14 in fees that remain at my expense. Avoid at all costs despite the glowing reviews!

Santi our guide made the whole day enjoyable, we had music and food/ drink on board. The spots we visited where quite busy but very enjoyable. Maybe along the coastline there could be some more tales about the past (ww2 bunkers and such). But the information we got was great. I had no waterproof case so no pictures of the caves/ beaches..

The boat was to crowded. Sitting in the front gives you backpain of all the big splashes. No snorkeling as mentioned. Guide was very kind but limited in her contact and leader skills. One snack is to little for 8 hours. We paid 77,- drinks were also limited. 22 People on board, ex crew, 24. If you like loud music and jumping on the water, yes. For me no. Finally the caves were beautifull. I would recommend a shorter trip.

We did the excursion to Grama Bay and Blue Cave with Olympia Tours. The places visited along the coast are truly splendid and absolutely worth the trip. The skipper was very nice, kind, and helpful throughout the duration of the tour; drinks and a small snack were offered on board, which is always appreciated. There are just a few small organizational aspects to perfect: the meeting point was at 10:30, but we only boarded at 11:00, with a bit of initial confusion about who to refer to and which dinghy was assigned. Furthermore, the dinghy lacked shaded areas (I recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen) and the guide's explanations were given in English instead of Italian as indicated at the time of booking. Overall, it remains a beautiful day at sea that we recommend for the beauty of the views and the friendliness of the staff!

The tour was really great! The individual spots were super selected and beautiful. Our captain Klejdi was totally likable and had the speedboat under really good control at all times. It was especially fun when he did circles with the boat. That was definitely one of our highlights! 😂 In addition, he also had a really good playlist that fit the mood perfectly. 💘 However, we felt like the only ones on our boat who really wanted to have fun and enjoy the tour. 😂 Unfortunately, our group was not quite our cup of tea. Many wanted to spend as little time as possible at the individual spots and in some cases wanted to move on again very quickly. We found that really a shame, since we would have liked to stay longer, swim more, and simply enjoy the beautiful places a bit more. At times we had the feeling that the others were literally trying to shorten the stay times. Here we would have wished that the captain would take charge a bit more and stick more strongly to the actually intended stay times, instead of letting himself be pressured by individual guests to move on earlier. After all, you book the tour to be able to experience and enjoy the various spots in peace. Especially for swimming, we definitely would have wished for more time at some places. Another negative point was that, unfortunately, there was no snorkeling equipment. We found that particularly disappointing, as it was listed in the scope of services and therefore guaranteed. We had prepared for it and would have loved to use it at the beautiful stops. Despite these points, we personally had a lot of fun and found the tour to be wonderful overall. Klejdi definitely contributed to making it a really nice and fun day for us. We would definitely recommend the tour. With a group that is just as eager to enjoy the individual stops, the tour would have been almost perfect for us. 💘

Dionis was very kind and very nice with us ! Thank you very much Dionis for the unforgettable experience we had with you !!

Kleis and Vini were great! Kleis was our tour guide, and she was very sweet and attentive. The tour had a lot of great views, but we were a little crowded in the boat.

Very Nice experience with good music. Esther is so kind and the captain too ! They both make us discover amazing places !

Beautiful day, thanks above all to our wonderful guides Ester and Mali. A must-try!
