Boat tour that we would never do again nor would I recommend. The boat captain was going too fast. We managed to take few photos and videos as a souvenir. During the trip it was impossible to admire the view because of the absurd speed. Having a good memory of the experience is impossible. We never got close to the small coves (except for Turtle Cave). There was no explanation. On the way back, the captain performed a series of maneuvers to splash us completely several times, soaking and ruining all our personal belongings. For him it was fun, for us it was not, as we returned home and one of our phones no longer worked.
Very recommended. Especially take a tour guide Antonio. Very friendly captain! And the places to see are amazing!
Lovely boat trip with speed and nice. Wonderful beach that we hung out on for a couple of hours and nice places where snorkeling and swimming on the way. Coolest captain who made sure everyone had a good time on the boat!
If you come to the Albanian Riviera you have to take a boat trip. For the price of some lounge chairs they take you to empty beaches and coves with clear waters that are great for swimming and snorkeling. The guide was attentive, with lively music and trying to make the trip fun
I went on the boat trip with my parents and my friend and it was very lovely. We saw amazing things and the captain was very sweet, but there was an issue on the way back from the beach. Another captain from another boat came and splashed a huge amount of water on us. All of our belongings were wet, including our electronics. My friends phone cannot charge anymore and we lost a power bank. That really sucks and I feel it was unnecessary and disrespectful. The other captain was around his 30s and blonde.
Every thing was very good, worth paying. The oparator was polite and friendly, she help us get to the meeting point because we was having a trouble with communication. Nina with boyfriend from 19.07 ;)
That was a wonderful experience, really beautiful places and everything was great coordinated. 100% recommended, you will not reach places like that by your own
It was very beautiful, truly recommended! You see a lot and it was very varied! From photo stops, to jumping into the water from the speedboat, to a roughly 3-hour stop at Krorëza Beach, everything was great. In our case, we always had crystal clear water or turquoise blue sea. The beach was very easy to find, and from there you also boarded the speedboat directly. They advertise a turtle cave, but our taxi driver smiled and denied that there is one, which was not too bad. The only thing one should be aware of beforehand is that your tailbone will hurt afterward from the boat slamming onto the waves😅.
Promised sun beds and umbrellas but there was none we were meant to go to six bays but went to one got told we would get off for food and drink but could only do it if you swam in choppy seas with 1 hand above your head with money and phones in your hand worst boat trip ever they should of cancelled it because the sea was too rough and at the end 20 people got together only one Albanian girl spoke to the crew and they were so rude to us all just get the small boats or the skull boats x
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and that the trip did not meet your expectations. We check the weather forecast and sea conditions every day before operating our tours. On the day of your trip, the conditions appeared safe when we departed. Unfortunately, once we were already at sea, we realized that the waves and sea conditions were much rougher than expected. The sea can sometimes change very quickly and be unpredictable. For safety reasons, we were informed that the conditions were much worse in the area of some of the planned destinations, making it impossible to visit all six bays. That is why we decided to stop at fewer locations instead. Due to the rough sea conditions, it was also impossible to safely dock the boat at certain places, which is why guests were asked to swim to the shore. We completely understand how disappointing and inconvenient this was. Please know that whenever we know in advance that the weather or sea conditions are unsafe, we cancel all tours for the safety of both our guests and our staff. In this case, the conditions became much worse after we had already started the trip. We are sincerely sorry for your experience and appreciate your feedback. Your safety is always our highest priority.
Antonio, captain was the Best captain we could’ve hoped for.. he couldn’t have done more for us to make the trip one of the best experiences that we’ve all done.. highly recommended and ask for Antonio!!!!!
