The tour departs at 9am and returns at 4pm, with a 2-hour stay at Krorezë for swimming and exploring. Shorter scenic stops at the other four locations. An English-speaking guide leads the group.

The experience

The boat leaves Limani Harbor at 9am and works through five stops along the coast. Four of them (Gremina Bay, Kakome, Military Bay, and Rrojdhe Bay) are twenty-minute breaks to take in the water and the rock formations. Krorezë is different: you stay there for two hours, which means time to actually swim in the clear water, explore the beach, or sit on the sand without rushing back to the boat.

Snorkeling gear comes with the tour, so you can go straight into the water at any of the stops. A drink is included in the price. If you get hungry, Krorezë has a beachfront restaurant where you can order fresh fish, grilled chicken, salads, or more drinks. Anywhere else on the route, you'll need to bring your own food. The boat returns to Limani Harbor by 4pm.

Operated by Saranda: Boat Tour to Kroreza and Hidden Beaches

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want a full day on the water with enough time at one beach to actually swim and relax, not just photograph and move on. The 2-hour stop at Krorezë is what makes the difference. The other four bays are scenic breaks, but Krorezë is where you settle in.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel at all five stops or just at Krorezë?

Snorkeling is possible at all five locations. The equipment is included, and each stop, even the twenty-minute ones, has water you can enter. Krorezë's two-hour stay gives you the most time to explore underwater.

What's the water like for swimming at these bays?

The tour description notes crystal-clear waters at Krorezë and the surrounding bays. All five sites are coastal stops along the Ionian Sea, so conditions are typical for that stretch of Albania's coast in the season you're traveling.

Is this tour okay if I can't swim?

Yes. The tour is suitable for non-swimmers. You'll have snorkeling equipment and a life jacket, and you can stay on the boat or wade in the shallows at any stop. The guide and crew are there throughout the day.

What time do we get back to Saranda?

The boat returns to Limani Harbor by 4pm, giving you the rest of the afternoon and evening in town.

Do I need to bring food, or is lunch included?

Meals are not included in the tour price. You can bring your own food, or eat at the beachfront restaurant at Krorezë, which serves fresh fish, grilled chicken, salads, and drinks. At the other four stops, there are no food vendors, so pack accordingly if you plan to eat there.
