Description

Get ready for an unforgettable full-day adventure to the breathtaking Karaburun Peninsula, Sazan Island, and Haxhi Ali Cave, starting from Durrës, Golem, or Tirana. Your journey begins early in the morning with a comfortable pickup in a modern 8–20 seater van, accompanied by a friendly driver who also serves as your land guide. On the way to Vlora, enjoy a relaxing coffee stop with a light snack — the perfect way to start the day. Once in Vlora, you’ll meet the boat team and guide at the office, before walking together to the pier (just 5 minutes away). Then, step aboard a fast speed boat that carries between 6 and 36 people and set off across the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea for a thrilling 4–5 hour boat trip. • First stop: Sazan Island – Albania’s largest island, once a secret military base. Take in the panoramic views, learn its unique history, and capture beautiful photos. • Next: Haxhi Ali Cave – Discover one of the Riviera’s most iconic natural wonders, famous for its glowing blue waters and impressive rock formations. • Final stop: Karaburun Peninsula – Relax on Albania’s most unspoiled coastline. The boat anchors in a calm bay where you’ll enjoy 2–3 hours of free time to swim, sunbathe, and explore. ‍‍ To make the experience even better, a snorkeling mask is included and yours to use throughout the whole trip, also during the free time on Karaburun Beach — giving you the chance to explore the underwater beauty at your own pace. A refreshing drink is also served during the boat ride. After the sea adventure, your driver will welcome you back at the pier and suggest the best ways to spend 1–2 hours of free time in Vlora — whether strolling the promenade, enjoying a local meal, or simply relaxing before heading back. ⸻ ⏱ Total Duration: 9-11 hours (including transport and free time in Vlora) ⏱ Boat Trip Duration: 4–5 hours ⸻ ⚠️ Please note: • The back of the boat may get wet in wavy conditions. • Bring cash if you’d like food or drinks at the Karaburun beach restaurant. • Trips depend on sea conditions. For safety, departures may be postponed or canceled in case of rough weather.
