Top 15 Vlora, Sazan & Karaburun Boat Trips

15 reviewed

Sazan island was a closed military base until 2015 and the Karaburun peninsula has no road at all. These speedboat trips out of Vlora marina are the only way in. Compare what each one covers, the Haxhi Ali cave, Grama Bay, the secret coves, plus boat size, snorkelling gear and how rough the return leg gets.

“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”

Speedboat from Vlorë to Sazan Island and Karaburun for cave legends, snorkel-ready stops, wild beaches, and sea views.

“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”

Blue Cave and Grama Bay full day guided boat tour from Vlore, Albania, with caves, secret beaches, and snorkeling for up to 20 people.

“I have to be honest, we did this excursion in August 2025, and I feel like I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For 80 euros per person, we got a taxi-driver on a speed-boat, who very reluctantly drove us to all the indicated locations. When you arrived to each location, he would just say, "Get off, this is this, and we will leave in 20 minutes". He was supposed to provide us with snorkeling equipment, but it was never offered. Sometimes he would say we'd stay at the beach for 30 minutes, but after 10 minutes, he'd say we had to leave. Sometimes it was a short 10-minute stay, but…”

“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…”

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.…”
