We chased the sunrise on a paddleboard

5.00We chased the sunset on a paddle board and it was so serene and tranquil. We managed time for a stop off at the twin islands and had a swim in the early morning sunshine. We were a small group of 3 and Ari made the trip feel unique to us. He was kind and patient with us all - he even managed to coach my husband- who had never stood up a board before, do the whole trip standing without falling in! Thank you Ari- it was such a lovely experience and your pride in Albania shone through!

5.00Super tour organized by Ari! We still get a big smile when we think back on it. The fun together, the beautiful sunset.... thanks for an unforgettable tour! We would have liked to have taken more activities from you, like that combination with a boat tour... but time flew by! For other people.... undoubtedly recommended!
Great and calm SUP experience before the craziness of Ksamil beach sports start

5.00I spontaneously booked the 7 am tour the day before and it ended up being a private tour by accident as lucky for me all other customers had chosen later tours that day - and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I got to experience the islands before all the jet skis and motor boats made an appearance and had amazing chats with the tour guide Ari. Totally worth it and would absolutely recommend.

5.00We had a beautiful trip with our guide Ari! After a boat trip with De Anxhelo Boat trips, Angelo recommended Ari when I asked for a day trip on land to Butrint for our group of five people. For our budget, we got a private tour through Butrint national park and a private SUP paddle board trip around the islands in Ksamil. Ari picked us up by the hotel at an agreed time, and dropped us back at the hotel when we were finished. We also got the option to stay longer at the beach if we wanted to. Ari and me communicated through WhatsApp and I got to check out the different private tours he’s offering on TripAdvisor. His English is great and he answered all our questions diligently. There’s a completely different vibe between doing group tours with our travel agency and booking a private tour like this. The private tour is a lot more personal, and by the end of the day we all felt like close friends. For groups of five or six, he has a big 7 seater Audi Q7 that can fit everyone and all our extra luggage comfortably. For smaller groups, he has a smaller car where you can also get a better price. My dad can’t swim, and he reassured us that all would be fine with the life vests securely fastened before delving in the water. It was both my parents’ first time paddle boarding, and they both said the refreshing paddle trip after walking around all day was the highlight of our weeklong trip. We also got enough rest between the two activities as Ari dropped us off at the beach so we could grab some quick refreshments in the summer heat. We could store all our things safely in the car too, and Ari has a waterproof backpack for other valuables such as phones and cameras that we would want to bring with us into the water for pictures. Speaking of pictures, Ari did an excellent job picking out good picture taking spots and helping us take family photos. We had some issues from our side where one or two in our group felt unwell a couple days prior to our scheduled day trip, but rescheduling with Ari was a breeze. We got to pick freely between multiple days and he was very patient during both planning and on the actual day trip. He made sure none of us were falling behind and taught us how to paddle. I for once was very confident on my paddling skills, until I found out that I had been paddling backwards on my board all along! I wish Ari and his family good luck in the future.
Great experience!
