4.Blue Gem Cave Speedboat Tour Vlore

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 8 hours · from $94Top rated

Join Speedboat.al from Vlorë for a fast-paced coastal day with guides such as Bushi, Olsen, Teddy, and Edison. You’ll visit Haxhi Ali Cave, Dafina Cave, quiet bays, and Grama Bay, with swimming, music, drinks, snacks, and photo stops along the Karaburun Peninsula.

“Wow. Most amazing experience in Albania. The best guides, the best music, the best boat captain/driver. Saying “we had so much fun” is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I really cannot express how much of a once in a lifetime experience this was. Seemed like the boat had an unlimited supply of beer and ice cold drinks. They served us homemade cheese burek and apples and nuts later on. We can’t wait to come back to Vlorë and book the trip again.

6.Durres & Tirana: Speed Boat Trip to Sazan, Karaburun & Cave

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 119 reviews · 10 hours · from $100

Start with hotel pickup in Tirana, Durrës or Golem, then ride a speedboat to Sazan Island, Haxhi Ali Cave and Karaburun. English-speaking guides such as Marsel provide help on land, while 2 to 3 hours on the beach gives you time to swim and snorkel.

“A great day out! The speedboat ride was super fun and all three stops were great and had enough time at each one. The boat guide gave us a quick talk about each stop. Our driver and guide Marsel was nice and friendly. He provided us with a traditional Albanian snack during our coffee stop which was delicious! He also took us to the Old Town in Vlorë afterwards during our 1 hour free time. One thing to note: Your group may be mixed with another group. Our speedboat ended up having 25 people excluding the skippers and guide, which made it a tight fit on the boat.”
