  Worth the money and time. My tour guide was Juli and he picked me up punctually. He was very kind and knowledgeable and informed us on the culture and history of Albania on the way to the port, as well as attentive on needs like bathroom breaks and coffee/food. The views are immaculate and the waters are so unbelievably pristine. I wouldn't pass on this great experience!

  Thank you Choose Balkans for your support. This trip is a unique experience with lots of fun experience. The pirate themed cruise was a little long though but holds up really the partying vibe throughout the entire peninsula. Fascinating stuff to swim in Adriatic dark blue water. Mr Arian our tour guide is a pleasant warm person with lot of interesting insights. We enjoyed the cave of Haxhi Aliu which was spectacular and especially beautiful stalactite walled water inside.. greatly enjoyed to swim. Thanks once again Choose Balkans for this amazing trip.

  Pirate ship was loud and fun (heads up if it’s not your scene!) the beaches were pretty rocky so if you have swim shoes bring them it’s worth it. Our driver/tour guide was Renato. He is local and his dad used to work at Sazan Island so had interesting insight. He also took us to the best place for byrek in the country as a bonus. Great day trip!

  Second trip in Albania we went to Sazan island. Sirma from Choose Balkans agency again helped us to organize our trip from A to Z . Our tour guide Eri picked up us from the hotel in Tirana and our way to Vlore was approximately 2 hours . On the pier our pirate boat was waiting for us and other tourists . Our adventure on the boat was so funny : there was a real pirate who was dancing with us , taking photos . One beverage is included per person and upstairs there is a bar where you can purchase beer or any spirit. Music is so nice , we were dancing and enjoying the view of Adriatic Rivera . Eri was all the time with us and intertwining us on boat . On the first stop Sazan Islam at around 2 hours you have a hiking tour with pirate to explore ex military island and free time for swimming at the beach . That we continued to Peninsula island and a boat made 360 degree turn around in front of Haxni Ali cave to make sure we all took a nice photos and video with beautiful panoramic view. On Peninsula island Eri announced that we have almost 3,5 hours our free time. Some guests from our group decided to stay at the beach . But for me and my husband the main purpose of this trip was swimming inside Haxni Ali cave . Speed boat took us inside cave and it was just a dream experience. Additional cost for the speed boat service just 10 euro and will highly recommend it to all travelers . This cave like a magic : smooth water surface in a border between Adriatic and Ionian Sea . I would like to give a special recognition to our guide Eri as he been always with us during this trip and made sure this day was very memorable and all facilities so comfortable. Well done Eri and keep it up ! We wish you success in your career and always good guests . We will never forget our trips in Albania . And definitely will be back as your country is so beautiful and there is a lot of places to discover !!!

  This was our second Trip with choose balkans. Again they delivered the highest of standard in terms of service. My wife and I are still in awe of the cave. Visiting the cave is extra on board at 10euro person but really worth it , don’t skip it . Our guide Eri was wonderful again and kept us of informed and entertained throughout the tour.

  We loved this tour primarily for the beautiful boat ride. Sirma organized the tour for us and we had Dritan as our guide. The boat trip was tons of fun with lots of music and dancing which we really enjoyed. We didn't swim ourselves but could see how much the other families were enjoying the water and the beaches in both locations. We had a lovely relaxing meal at the restaurant by the beach. Dritan made excellent company as usual, we were so lucky to have him for most of our tours during our time in Albania. Definitely recommend this tour for families who love the beach and want to enjoy a good swim, or anyone like us who just wants to experience the boat ride and a good meal by the ocean.

• Highly recommended.

  Even travelling alone, it was a very good experience to explore Karaburuni Penisula. While sailing towards Sazani Island, I learned a lot about Albanian History from Bledi, who has a lot of knowledge and interesting stories to share, and enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Jonian and Adriatic sea. Very good organization.

  We had one of the best experiences exploring Karaburuni Penisula. We sailed towards Sazani Island, a former military base during the communist era in Albania. Learned a lot about Albanian History and enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Jonian and Adriatic sea. Organization and tour guide were great. Strongly recommended.
