Itinerary
Our adventure begins at 9:00 am, as we set sail towards the cave of the Balkans' most famous pirate, Haxhi Ali. The journey to the cave takes around 30-40 minutes and, upon our arrival, we are greeted by the promise of mystery and excitement. Inside, we spend about 40 minutes immersed in history and nature. The cave invites us to swim, explore and marvel at its extraordinary natural beauty
(It's not 3 other beaches, the name of the place is "3 little beaches") The splendid San Vasil beach is characterized by a pebble coastline where you can swim, snorkel and enjoy the crystal clear waters. You will spend your free time immersed in the beautiful wilderness surrounding the beach.
Shen Vasil Beach in Karaburun is a true hidden gem, perfect for those looking for a quiet retreat away from the tourist crowds. Located on the picturesque Karaburun Peninsula in Albania, this beach offers an enchanting slice of paradise surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Shen Vasil stands out for its crystal clear, turquoise waters that gently lap a shore composed mainly of smooth pebbles and small areas of fine sand. Access to the water is immediate and invites you to dive in for a refreshing swim or snorkel, where you can explore the rich marine life that inhabits the surrounding rocky seabed

Everything was great, splendid scenery, friendly captain, beautiful sea Not easy to find the meeting place
You make an hour of boat tight like sardines to 15 people. To land in a magnificent cave with 6 boats filled to the brim with people. From there, we explain that we are not allowed to dive and we leave in five minutes. And off we go again for 30 minutes of navigation. We are parked on a beach with 500 people, private deckchairs, a beach club and a 5 meter limit for wading. We foolishly took the option "dive mask" 5€ per person for nothing. And besides, we have to hurry downstairs because they have to go get some more to do the same ride again. "We'll be back in two and a half hours." Worst excursion of my life! Big waste of money and time.
Beautiful outing and friendly staff, nevertheless it is no longer possible to swim in the cave, so it is necessary to update the title of the outing. We are also numerous on the boats.
The excursion was good but we dont do snorkelling and we contracted the excursion with snorkell. We only visit the cave and then, we go directly at the beach. We didn’t do any stop to do snkorelling so we felt lied. We are disapointed, Steven was good but the excursion isnt it was that we hope.
Hello We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointment with the excursion. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and it is unacceptable for our standards that the advertised activities were not delivered as expected. We will be conducting the necessary questioning with our team to understand what happened and ensure this does not occur again in the future. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and please accept our sincere apologies. Kind regards, Erald
Steven is amazing guide! We really enjoyed trip! Beautiful beach, perfect vibe! We really liked music in the boat! Special thanks for showing secret beach!
We had booked for the day, but due to a too wild sea it was moved to the evening. We were finally very happy that it was moved, because with the sunset the view was even better.😍 So we definitely recommend going earlier in the evening. The snorkeling is not really an added value, so I wouldn't book that again. For smaller children this can be quite a challenge if the sea is a bit rough, as the speedboat does go up and down a lot. If you like speed, ambiance and good visibility, definitely do!
Beautiful experience, super friendly and fun staff, to be redone absolutely!! If you come to Vlorë you can not do it!
Meeting point was a little bit confusing, no signs, but overall, all trip was excellent, boat driver was 10/10, safe and funny trip to all destination points. Do recommend it, cause the experience was really good!
Beautiful and pleasant trip to the cave and to the beach. The captain was great and Steven and Ereld were fantastic. Would highly recommended!
Unbelievable visit absolutely unforgettable and steven is the most welcoming guide we had in Albania thank you steven
