Speed Boat Tour to National Park and Grama Bay - Speeding toward Haxhi Ali Cave

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 159 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $87Our pick

Review of Vlore’s speed boat tour to Haxhi Ali Cave, Blue Cave, secluded beaches, and Grama Bay, with honest advice on value, music, and safety.

“There were 20 of us on the boat... it’s not a small boat like the pictures, it’s a great speed boat. The music was so loud that we couldn't talk. We had to ask to lower because it would last for 6 hours. Otherwise the landscapes are breathtaking and the water is amazing. I recommend this experience for people who want to party.Auto-translated”

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”

“The driver picked us up from Tirana, but we waited for almost an hour because he blamed the traffic jam. I believe better planning could have avoided this delay. During the trip, he only talked about himself and his favorite cars instead of discussing the country and its history—or he could have simply been quiet. While driving, he constantly checked his phone and watched YouTube for music, which was very dangerous. Then, at the winery, he introduced us to an unprofessional guide who spoke for barely 10 minutes about the winery's history and production process. I expected more: a demonstration of wine tasting, how to appreciate different wine aromas, and…”

“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…”

Review of Saranda’s VIP catamaran to Krorëza, Kakome, Soldier’s Beach, and Qefal, with lunch, swimming stops, tips, and value advice.

“Booking this tour was initially a bit disorganized. After reserving our original date, the company contacted us to reschedule, even though the original date was still listed as available on Viator and their website. We rebooked as instructed. On the day of the tour, we were told to wait at the meeting point, but no one showed up. We ended up following a group of people heading to the port, which turned out to be the right choice since we never received a callback. Thankfully, we managed to get a decent seat on the boat. The lunch was delicious, featuring seafood pasta with options of wine, soda, or water. The…”

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.
