The experience is lacking in safety, care, comfort and communication from ksamil water sports is very poor
Hello customer, we try to be nice and communicative with all of the guests and safety is also something we provide for everyone, but we dont know what is the real reason behind your review, anyway thanks for joining us!
I did not receive the service that I paid $170 for. I booked the trip less than 24 hours in advance, on the evening of July 16. For July 17, we rented a car for one day to travel from Durrës to Ksamil and, among other things, to take a boat tour with the company "Water Sports." Two hours before the boat's departure (at 11:00 a.m.), we were involved in a road accident and realized that we might not make it by 1:00 p.m. We immediately informed the Water Sports team. Their response was: "Try to be on time." We remained in constant contact with the Water Sports team via WhatsApp regarding our estimated arrival time. We sent screenshots showing our arrival time and remaining distance. We even asked whether they could offer us a different departure time, but they refused. We also asked the boat boat keeper to wait for us. In the end, we were only 15 minutes late. However, the boat keeper did not wait for us. As a result, we lost both time and money. The next available tour departure was at 3:00 p.m., but we were denied that option as well. According to the operator from water sport, there were not people to form a group. We were also informed that the boat keeper had a private tour at 4:00 p.m. This means that his only scheduled group trip that day was the 1:00 p.m. tour, lasting 1.5 hours. Yet he was unable to wait just 15 minutes for us. We were offered the option to come on another day. However, we are tourists—what other day? We had rented the car only for July 17 and were unable to return on a different date.
Hello customer! First you need to realize that it will not be us that will wait for you 15minutes more, but all other guests that were inside the boat so all of the group need to wait you! You have booked a specific time slot and you didnt make it but we hold your space even way! So at the end everything was okay but we are not responsible for anyone who gets late for the tour and we can not hold places and return other people for your places that we hold and then at the end switch your time so that the things will look okay? Anyway have a nice day!
Our tour was lovely and we got to see some sights from the boat that we had seen from land that were very impressive. I would say the guides knowledge was quite limited, didn’t know why the cave was called pigeon cave and didn’t know about general information about the area. Was great to see different locations just could have had a bit more informative knowledge to share! The guy at the check in desk at Ksamil Water Sports on land was lovely and very helpful.
Thank you very much for your nice review! We are sorry that you didn't get all you were waiting! Hope all the best for you!
The meeting point wasn’t very clear in the booking - it’s on mango beach which was 25 minute walk. Also the description doesn’t explain that you are stopped off on the islands at the end - this was great. Just text when Want picking up.
Thank you very much for your nice review!
Very nice tours and friendly stafi, the Ksamil Twin Islands and Pigeon Cave are insane
Very nice boat tour. The price for 2 people together 64,-- Euro was worth it. The boatmaster was very nice. Were a total of 8 people on the boat which was also pleasant. Very nice trip.
Really disappointing. The advert is very misleading as it says snorkling - there was no snorkling, no snorkling equipment etc. we pulled up to two or three shorelines and were told ‘you can swim here if you want’ but no where near close enough to actually go to the shores. We got to the island that they drop you off at which is advertised as having 2 sunbeds and an umbrella included in the price but the tiny island was jam packed with no one to organise allocation so that also didn’t happen. A guy on the boat next to us was violently sick over the side of the boat and the guides laughed about it.
Took the speedboat/snorkling trip. Don’t know if it’s worth it. Not good snorkelling places, with a lot of waves and ended up on a beach between two islands that looked pretty. Unfortunately we were left there to look wait for the shuttle boat to take us back, and it would have been nice, if it weren’t for all the garbage there. So much litter and so smelly. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Unfortunately.
Top guide, beautiful coasts and snorkeling was also great, at the boat you got comfortable and can enjoy the speed, would do it again!
I really liked the boat ride, it was a very nice experience, we visited several beaches with blue and clear water, the captain was very kind to me and the group I was with on the boat, I would like to be with that captain again, I suggest you all go to Ksamil Water Sport.
