Description
El Nino Boat Tours is one of Saranda's very first coastal tour companies, active for over 15 years in the market with a deep sea expertise and a true love for the open water. As a local, family-owned business, we care deeply about preserving our beautiful environment, which is why we practice eco-friendly habits on all our trips to protect the sea for future travelers.
For the Summer 2026 season, our large operation of 7 modern boats brings a high level of safety and reliability to the water, having completed over 10,000 total boat trips across our entire fleet. In 2025 alone, we successfully managed 150 private charters, 120 romantic sunset cruises, and between 800 to 1,000 group tours, safely welcoming 5,000 to 6,000 happy travelers. We have the flexibility to adapt to your specific needs, making sure you always feel safe, completely comfortable, and genuinely cared for on the water.
Our journey is carefully designed to show you 6 of the most attractive locations along the coast. We take you to explore the famous Turtle Cave, a very popular spot known by tourists for its amazing photo opportunities. You will also discover peaceful, hidden gems like Secret Beach, and historic areas like Soldier’s Bay. During the trip, you will have the perfect time to swim right next to the dramatic stone formations of Cape Qefali, or put on our free snorkeling masks to discover the crystal-clear waters of Kakome Bay. Did you know that this specific area is also a wonderful spot for dolphin watching? Beautiful pods of dolphins are frequently seen swimming through these open waters, which is always a magical surprise for our guests!
The absolute main highlight of the day is a 2-hour stop at Krorëza Beach, a famous paradise that is completely hidden and only accessible by sea. Because you can only get there by boat, it feels like a whole different world. Here, you have plenty of free time to relax under the sun, use the beachfront sunbeds, and try delicious traditional local food or fresh seafood at the beachfront restaurants right by the water.
What truly sets us apart are many special things, especially our captain, who brings years of real sea experience to navigate these local waters safely. We also want you to have the most fun and relaxing day possible, which is why alcohol consumption is completely allowed on board. Feel free to bring your own favorite drinks and snacks to keep ice-cold in our refrigerators!
Our modern boats are also fully prepared for hosting your special milestone moments, and over the years, we have proudly helped guests organize unforgettable birthdays, anniversaries, or romantic marriage proposals on the water. This is a truly beautiful coastal cruise, and our family would love to present it to all international travelers visiting Sarandë!
