Unfortunately, our experience did not match the itinerary that was advertised on Tripadvisor when we booked.
We specifically chose this tour because the itinerary explicitly listed a stop at “Secret Blue Cave, Dukat i Ri, Vlorë 9401, Albania.” We have a screenshot showing the exact location that was advertised at the time of booking.
However, we were not taken there. Instead, we visited a different, small local cave near Himarë.
Afterwards, the operator explained that the cave we visited is also referred to as “Secret Blue Cave”, but that the location shown in the Tripadvisor itinerary was incorrect. The Blue Cave in Vlorë was simply too far away to be part of this tour.
Following our complaint and on our advice, the itinerary on Tripadvisor has now been changed. However, that does not change our experience. We booked and paid for the tour based on the itinerary that was shown to us at that time. The advertised Blue Cave was the main reason we chose this particular tour.
Despite the fact that the itinerary has since been corrected, no compensation or partial refund was offered. The operator declined our request because they consider the tour to have been fully delivered.
The rest of the tour did take place, and we are not claiming otherwise. Our issue is simply that an important location explicitly advertised when we booked was not part of the tour we received.
Had the itinerary been accurate at the time, we would have chosen a different tour.

A bit expensive for...
A bit expensive for a 3-hour tour, but very cool nonetheless. Quieter than other boats we passed where Latin music was very present. The guide was also more cautious than others on the water. Small boat for 12 max which gave us plenty of room to be comfortable.
The weather was not on our side since after 1:15, it was a thunderstorm (we were warmer in the water). I think he had anticipated the weather since we saw all the places to see except 1 before the rain.
More fish to see in the water than the excursions in Sarandë.

It’s not what you expect and very misleading
More than most other boat trips
Also was misinformed during the trip

As advertised, captain does a great job of navigating the boats to get you wonderful views of the sea cliffs/caves/water
Beautiful afternoon spent cruising, snorkeling and exploring sea caves. Pack beach essentials like towel, sunglasses, hat, water, snacks. Captain and guide were lovely and gave great info along the way at each stop. Captain is also efficient at first aid as we had a minor foot injury with the ladder. Would recommend water shoes for the boat ladder & beaches as they are quite pebble/rocky

Perfect!
A fun way to see spectacular beaches on the Albanian coast, as well as an opportunity to meet people with whom to share a lovely morning. Even though we were delayed with the swimming times, the guide was patient and kind ...we will try to improve our English!!! If you have the opportunity, it is a 10/10 plan!!!!!
