No snorkels provided, but lots of fun - To be clear - I enjoyed this so much, so still giving 5 stars. BUT - It's not snorkeling. They provided masks that had seen better days, no snorkels or fins. It was advertised as a snorkeling trip so that's what I expected. I'm really NOT a strong swimmer but with fins and a snorkel I can usually float for days... I would have purchased or brought my own fins and snorkel had I known so that's my advice to you. Do the trip, it was beautiful and you can't beat the views. But bring your own stuff. I used the mask and at a couple of the stops used a life jacket to help - but they are not like nicer US life jackets so they rubbed me raw. :-) I promise I'm not discouraging your booking - just want you to bring your own stuff so you can enjoy it pain free!

Adventure time! - Stunning experience! Two girls discovering albanian coast ✨ Even though the weather wasn't sunny all day, the sea around Saranda is crystal clear and the great experience of the captain compensated: we enjoyed his stories about the various sites we visited on boat, expecially the shipwreck. We would recommend 100%!

Nice boat trip with chill and friendly captain - A great day along the coast north of Saranda. We stopped at several nice beaches. Fantastic atmosphere and a chill and experienced captain. For me, the best stop was the last at the wreckage of S/S Probitas, were you could dive down to the ship.
This trip really meet the expectations. Worth every penny.
Really easy to book via DM on Instagram.
Friendly and welcoming staff. I really like that all garbage was taken care of.
This trip is suited for all types of companies, families, couples, friends and solo travelers.
