Super cool boat trip - Very pleasant communication in advance, very auxiliary rooms people. It was a super nice trip! The skipper was really great: Tedi. A nice atmosphere on board with nice music but no noisy hassle. Peaceful atmosphere in the cave and a very fresh swim! Very caring for the children. Breathtaking beach with lots of fish to see! Definitely worth the money!

It is definitely worth it! - Friendly and sociable staff and make sure you are well pre-departure than during your trip.
When you get to the destinations they give you information about the place and its history.
The first beach is absolutely worth visiting, the cave probably more convenient in the morning time (I booked the tour at 14:00) but still nice to see definitely.
Karaburun beach is a nice destination, you can beach either on the shore or in the establishment (20€ first row, we paid in lek) and has a restaurant in case.
Music is put on board and are groups of about 15 people.

Cute trip if with SOME CARE - Very beautiful nature and crystal clear water. Stop in the cave very short and full of other boats. Last stop decidedly longer than expected. A little speculative, full of people in a very small place with restaurant and bar at sky-high prices. The journey does not take 4-5 hours but more than 6 hours. If you bring your own food and you are not in a hurry it is a nice tour that is cheap.

Crowded boat, crowded beach - I’m sorry to say the trip was somewhat of a disappointment. The boat had at least 5 to many on it. People were sitting on the edges and I myself had to be laying down in the front since my feet didn’t fit down to the floor. The stop at the old naval base and the cave was fine even if a little short but the stop at the beach was not a pleasant experience. The place was incredibly crowded. You could hardly get to the water and with kids it was not possible so we had to swim from the cliffs. To add to it there were really loud music from the bar and different boats making it difficult to speak to each other. To make things worse we passed several very nice looking quite beaches on the way where we could have stopped. This could have been a great trip but to be frank it was not.

Unhappy - You don't exactly get what you're promised. It started when they crammed 11 people into an 8 person boat. The captain didn't speak English so no one could tell him anything about history or the cave. The boat broke down in the middle of the voyage and no one understood what was happening because the captain could not tell. Use of snorkeling equipment was to be included, but there was not. According to the itinerary it says we would make 4 stops but we only stopped at 3. We couldn't ask the captain either because he didn't speak English. Of the 3 stops we made, only the Haxhi Ali cave was worth seeing, but it would have been fun to snorkel there. The other 2 stops; Sazan Island and Karaburun Peninsula were not much to see. Sazan Island had a small beach that was packed with tourists and all the old military buildings were higher up on the island so you do not have time to go and check. Karaburun Peninsula had a nice little beach but of course crowded it too. The place felt generally dirty and the deck chairs cost 20€, which is excessive for 1-2 h. Would not recommend this organizer, too bad we did not choose someone else.
