4.00Dario was a great guide! We had an awesome time visiting the island, the cave and the beach afterwards. Only negative is that when ariving at the beach the only options to eat something was a cold mediocre meal for €20 p.p.
Highly recommend

5.00Dario was very knowledgeable during the tour. I was very impressed with how he kept everyone informed throughout tour of next steps, made sure everyone was having a great time, and was able to know where everyone was throughout tour on various stops. The tour and views were beautiful and memorable. The only thing I wish I knew ahead of time was to bring cash and/or being food and drinks.
Perfect boat trip.

5.00The trip was excellent. Everyone was extremely helpful and kind. We got to see some stunning places including secluded beaches and caves. We were able to adjust the tour to our desires all the time and were allowed to jump of the boat and even bring food on board. Would recommend to everyone visiting Vlorë.
Best trip ever!

5.00I got engaged in this trip, was the best trip ever and will live long in the memories of me and my fiancé. Crew were professional, polite and accommodating, and the beaches, sazan island and haxhi Ali cave were mesmerising. 100% recommend. Special thanks to Rodi for making my request come to life

1.00They canceled the tour for us the same morning, the previous afternoon they told us that even if we didn't get the whole group we would still go without a guide or drinks, we accepted and paid. The tour morning they told us that there was no group so if we wanted to go alone we would have to pay much more... the boy was rude and unpolite, very unprofessional way to treat clients, better to look for other options… Nos cancelaron el tour la misma mañana, la tarde anterior nos dijeron que aunque no consiguiera el grupo al completo iriamos igualmente, aunque sin guia ni bebidas, aceptamos y pagamos. Esa mañana nos dijeron que no habia grupo por lo que si queriamos ir solos tendríamos que pagar mucho mas... el chico un maleducado en todo momento, y muy desagradable, muy poco profesionales, mejor buscar otras opciones
Amazing trip!

5.00Absolutely amazing, we booked it earlier in the day and requested it to start at 3:30 pm. Selda was at our accommodation by 3:01 texting me. She brought everything, snacks, beverages, even towels and napkins. The trip started at 3:30 and we finished by the sunset ( around 8:00 pm ), needless to say how stunning it was. We started with the cave, we stopped there for around half an hour and dove into an amazingly cold water. The. We went to the island where the beach was like no other, clean, colorful, the small beach stones and the white sand made a wonderful mix. Then we went to the other island where we supposed to have dinner but unfortunately it was close ( we spent to much time in the first island) so instead we stopped in the middle of the sea for a sunset view. It was amazing, I compared it to the one I had in Santorini. In the end, I can’t stress enough, this trip was amazing mainly because of Selda and how thoughtful she was. Thank you and count me in when I come back.
Exceptional experience!

5.00We toured the island and the peninsula by boat, and I couldn't have been happier. It was a magical ride. Our skipper, he was very nice and made the tour even more enjoyable, telling anecdotes and curiosities. The possibility to toast with prosecco is also very nice! My partner and I had a great time and we recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Vlora from the point of view of the sea!
