★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 155 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $42Our pick

Review of Vlore’s speedboat trip to Sazan Island, Haxhi Ali Cave, and Karaburun, with pricing, stops, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Great way to spend a day at the beach. We stayed for 1 hour at the first beach, Sazan. Then on to Haxhi Ali cave, which was very cool! We stopped there for about 15 min or so. Next stop Karaburun, just in time for lunch. You'll need to bring some cash if you want to eat at the restaurant there. Lunch ran us 2600 lek and we shared a plate of food. You can also rent an umbrella and 2 lounge chairs for 2000 lek. We spent 4 hours on Karaburun. Note that snorkel gear was not provided”

“It was an excellent day and a wonderful trip!! The captain of the boat was awesome as was his first mate Cize. Our entire boat had a blast. We. Were. Thee. Party. Boat. In the best way possible. Great music and food. The 20 euros for drinks and food is well worth it. My only minor constructive feedback would be to keep more snorkel gear for the patrons who want to use them. Other than that it was a real blast!!”

“The experience was excellent of the trip really good, fun activity with just the right amount of quiet time in the cave and a slightly reduced time at the beach (as requested by the group as it wasn't swimming weather), great (appropriate level) music giving a happy vibe there and back. Office was also easy to find and transport provided to the launch site. In addition, the ownership that the rep took over ensuring that his customers were informed and taken care of was truly outstanding. Way beyond what could be expected as part of the role. I personally cannot thank him enough as he helped me Hugely but he…”

“We had an incredible time on this tour! The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish, we stopped at multiple hidden gems throughout the trip, and each location left us completely speechless with its natural beauty. Even though we were a large group, everything was very well organized. We were divided into three different boats, which made the experience more personal and enjoyable. The tour guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, which made the whole trip even better. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vlore 😍 it’s the perfect way to explore the stunning coastline and discover places you wouldn’t find on your own.…”
