Description

Explore the highlights of Vlore’s coastline on a private speedboat tour to Sazan Island, the impressive Haxhi Ali Cave, and a pristine beach on the Karaburun Peninsula.
This private experience combines history, natural beauty, and crystal-clear waters, with the flexibility to enjoy each stop at your own pace.

Your journey begins with a direct ride to Sazan Island, a secluded island known for its unspoiled nature and strategic past. Enjoy free time to swim at the island’s clear-water beaches, walk along coastal paths with panoramic sea views, or explore remnants of the former military base and learn about the island’s historical significance. The island’s protected environment also offers opportunities to observe local birdlife and marine species.

Next, continue to Haxhi Ali Cave, one of the most impressive sea caves in the region. Enter the cave by boat and explore its interior while your skipper shares stories about the legendary pirate Haxhi Ali and the cave’s role in local maritime history. Depending on conditions, you may also have time for photos or swimming near the cave.

The tour then follows the wild coastline of the Karaburun Peninsula, passing dramatic rock formations and untouched beaches accessible only by boat. Stop for swimming and relaxation at Dhim Kushta Bay or Shen Vasil Bay, two of the most scenic bays in the area, known for their crystal-clear waters and peaceful setting.

After enjoying the bay, return by private speedboat to Vlore, enjoying scenic coastal views along the way.
