Description
Turn your journey into a memorable coastal experience with a scenic boat trip from Durrës to Vlorë, including hotel pick-up from both Durrës and Tirana. This is not just a transfer, but a relaxing and refreshing adventure along Albania’s stunning Adriatic coastline.
Your full-day adventure starts with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Durrës, Tirana, or Golem. You'll travel by van to the coastal city of Vlora, with a short stop for morning coffee along the way. Once in Vlora, you’ll hop aboard a modern speedboat and begin exploring the beautiful Ionian coastline.
The first highlight is Sazan Island, a mysterious former military zone. While visitors can't go on the island, you'll cruise around it and enjoy fantastic views from the boat while learning about its history.
Next, you'll head to the impressive Haxhi Ali Cave.
After the cave, the boat cruises along the wild coast of the Karaburun Peninsula to a remote beach with crystal-clear water. You’ll have around 2-3 hours of free time to swim, relax, and enjoy the natural setting. Please note that umbrellas and sunbeds are not included, but are available to rent on-site if desired.
Throughout the boat ride, refreshing drinks are provided onboard to keep you cool and hydrated.
After your beach break, the speedboat returns to Vlora. You’ll then enjoy 1-2 hours of free time in the city—perfect for grabbing lunch, exploring the promenade, or relaxing before the van takes you back to your original pickup point.
