Description

Set out from Durres, Albania, on a thrilling speed boat journey to explore the hidden gems of the Ionian coast. After a convenient hotel pickup, enjoy a scenic drive to Vlore, where your adventure on the water begins. Feel the excitement as you cruise across the sea, music playing, with the wind in your hair.

Your first destination is Sazan Island, once a secret military base and now a fascinating ghost town. Wander among abandoned bunkers and tunnels or take a refreshing swim at the island’s secluded beach. This unique spot offers a glimpse into Albania’s intriguing past and untouched natural beauty.

The tour continues to the legendary Haxhi Ali Pirate Cave, accessible only by boat. Marvel at the sunlight dancing on emerald waters and limestone walls as your guide shares tales of pirates and hidden treasures. While swimming inside the cave isn’t allowed, it’s an unforgettable setting for photos and exploration.

Cruise along the wild Karaburun Peninsula to Saint Vasil Bay, where you can relax on a pristine beach, swim in crystal-clear waters, or snorkel with provided gear. Enjoy free time to sunbathe or opt for a fresh seafood lunch at a local seaside restaurant before heading back to Vlore.

Your driver will be waiting for the comfortable return journey to Durres. This full-day tour is led in English and includes hotel transfers, a professional skipper and guide, all safety equipment, and fuel. Don’t miss your chance to discover Albania’s spectacular coastline—spaces are limited, so check availability and book your spot today!
