5.00I don't think I've ever returned from such an excursion with so many delighted customers. On the way back to Vlore everyone on the boat was smiling and admiring the sea. It was a magnificent day.

5.00Eugene is a local so he knows the area very well He took us to the best spots on both islands. The trip was very reasonably priced. We had all age groups - teens to seniors- and everyone had a great time. Eugene spoke English well and made sure everyone on the boat understood what we were seeing and the history of each spot. The boat was clean and well maintained. He arranged transportation from our hotel which accommodated our large group. He took us to spots others didnt go to. We had time to hike, swim and snorkel. Overall best trip in Vlore. It is a must do in Vlore
Relaxing day around Sazan

5.00We had a very nice and relaxing day by boat. The captain Eugene was relaxed and friendly. He gave us plenty of time to swim and snorkel, and to sunbathe on Karaburun beach. Fortunately, he did not play loud music all the time, as was sometimes the case on other boats. He was also very helpful when it turned out that I had left my shorts in the boat.
It was great.

2.00We would have liked a bit of background information on the sights and history. The tour was basically ok, but with too long a stay of 1h on Sazan.

5.00We had a great time, especially the snorkelling on Sazan Island which was better than the snorkelling on the peninsula. The peninsula was a lovely stop for other things, my son loved jumping off the jetty into deep water.
A fantastic boat ride
