What you can expect

Get ready for a day filled with adventure, turquoise waters, and hidden history as you escape the city and discover the untouched beauty of Albania’s Ionian coastline.

Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Tirana, followed by a scenic 2-hour drive to the vibrant coastal city of Vlorë. Along the way, we’ll make a short coffee stop — the perfect moment to relax and enjoy the charming Albanian countryside.

Once in Vlorë, board a speedboat and set off into the Karaburun-Sazan Marine Park, one of Albania’s most spectacular natural wonders.

Your first destination is Sazan Island — once a top-secret military base and now a mysterious blend of history and wild nature. You’ll have about 35 minutes to explore its abandoned bunkers, hidden tunnels, and dramatic coastal views. Walking through Sazan feels like stepping into a forgotten world frozen in time.

Next, cruise to the iconic Haxhi Ali Cave, a sea-carved wonder nestled beneath the cliffs of the Karaburun Peninsula. Known for its crystal-clear water and pirate legends, this magical spot is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply soaking in the scenery. You’ll spend about 20 minutes here.

Your final speedboat stop is a secluded beach on Karaburun, accessible only by sea. Here, you’ll enjoy around 3 hours of free time to swim, sunbathe, or relax at a beachfront bar (optional, food and drinks not included). It’s your moment of pure coastal bliss.

After returning to Vlorë by boat, you’ll have an additional 45 minutes of free time to explore the city. Take a walk along the promenade, grab a bite to eat, or browse local shops before starting the drive back.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to Tirana with unforgettable memories from one of Albania’s most stunning and adventurous coastal escapes.
