What To Expect
Our adventure begins at 9:00 am, as we set sail towards the cave of the Balkans' most famous pirate, Haxhi Ali. The journey to the cave takes around 30-40 minutes and, upon our arrival, we are greeted by the promise of mystery and excitement. Inside, we spend about 40 minutes immersed in history and nature. The cave invites us to swim, explore and marvel at its extraordinary natural beauty
Shen Vasil Beach in Karaburun is a true hidden gem, perfect for those looking for a quiet retreat away from the tourist crowds. Located on the picturesque Karaburun Peninsula in Albania, this beach offers an enchanting slice of paradise surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Shen Vasil stands out for its crystal clear, turquoise waters that gently lap a shore composed mainly of smooth pebbles and small areas of fine sand. Access to the water is immediate and invites you to dive in for a refreshing swim or snorkel, where you can explore the rich marine life that inhabits the surrounding rocky seabed

5.00It is surprisingly fun to drive fast with speedboat in 35-40 kts. Recommend to book the tour that starts at 00. 0900, when there is quieter sea and fewer people on their way out to the popular cave. The guide provided music and good mood all the way. Thank you John! We bathed in the cave, a pretty special experience, and on some private beaches. The trip lasted about 5 hours and the time passed quickly. This is a perfect day-activity in Vlorë.
Amazing trip

5.00We went sightseeing cave, swum and sunbathed. A bit cold since the boat is fast so I recommend taking maybe a hoodie or jacked and some snacks and water. All and all enjoyed myself!

5.00Are you seeking options to explore Sazan Island and the Karaburun Peninsula? Look no further—BoatVentours is the perfect choice! I've taken several tours with Aldo and Leo, and their company is always my go-to option. Communication is fast and easy, and the guys are friendly, helpful, and full of positive energy. They speak Albanian (of course), Italian, and English. I highly recommend the tours to Grama Bay and Dafina Bay, where you'll find hidden caves and breathtaking beaches. Especially, if you're coming from the Durrës area, these places with crystal-clear water will change your perspective on Albania—it's like heaven on earth! If you prefer more touristy spots with a beach bar and restaurant, opt for the tour to Haxhi Ali Cave and Shen Vasil, where you can relax on the beach. Cold drinks and goggles are provided on the speedboat to make your experience even more comfortable. When heading out on the boat, wear your swimsuit so you can jump into the cave waters without worrying about where to change. The beaches in this area are rocky and pebbly, so bring water shoes if you have them. I can’t recommend BoatVentours enough! Enjoy your day in the Sazan-Karaburun Marine Park with them!
