Several beaches in one boat, a brief ride, a few hours at Krorez

A 5–6 hour boat tour from Saranda harbour visits six beaches accessible only by water: Rrojdhe, Kakome, Soldiers Bay, Gremina, Turtle Cave and Krorez. You swim and snorkel at each stop, spend 20–30 minutes at the first four beaches and 2–3 hours at Krorez, where a beachfront restaurant serves lunch. The boat has a refrigerator; bring your own food and drinks or order on-site. A live English-speaking guide leads the tour, which departs at 10:30 AM and includes snorkeling gear and a beach umbrella.

The Experience

If you land in Saranda with an afternoon free or you're staying nearby and want to see the coast without renting a car, this tour picks you up at the boat in the harbour and moves through six stops in a single day. The boat leaves at 10:30 AM, so you have time for breakfast before heading down. The first four beaches—Rrojdhe, Kakome, Soldiers Bay and Gremina—each get 20–30 minutes, enough to wade in, snorkel if the water calls to you, or sit on the sand. Turtle Cave comes next, another short stop where the water is clear enough to see down.

Krorez is where the day settles. You get 2–3 hours there, the longest stretch, and it's the one beach with a restaurant right on the shore. Bring a packed lunch if you prefer, or order from the kitchen—either way, the boat's refrigerator keeps drinks cold. The water at all six beaches is the draw: it's the kind of clear that makes snorkeling feel like looking through glass, and the beaches themselves are small enough that you're not fighting crowds. Each one has its own shape and feel, but they're all the kind of place you'd need a boat to reach.

The whole tour runs 5–6 hours from start to finish. You'll get snorkeling gear and a beach umbrella included, so you're set for the sun and the water. A guide who speaks English is with the group the whole time. There are no hidden fees, and the boat is marked with a sign at the harbour so you know where to meet.

Is this one for you?The 5–6 hour window means you can fit this into a half-day itinerary if you have a morning free, or use it as your main activity if you're staying in Saranda for the day. The long stop at Krorez—2–3 hours—leaves room to eat and rest, so it's not a rushed string of quick dips; the shorter stops earlier in the day keep the pace moving and the variety high.

Top questions

How long do we actually spend swimming at each beach on the Saranda boat tour?

The first four beaches—Rrojdhe, Kakome, Soldiers Bay and Gremina—each get 20–30 minutes in the water. Turtle Cave is another short stop. Krorez, the final beach, is where you spend 2–3 hours, so you have real time to swim, eat lunch at the beachfront restaurant or just rest on the sand.

What time does the boat leave Saranda harbour and when do we get back?

The tour departs at 10:30 AM and lasts 5–6 hours, so you're back by late afternoon. That timing leaves your morning free if you're staying in town or arriving early in the day.

Can I bring my own food and drinks, or is there a restaurant?

You can bring food and drinks—the boat has a refrigerator to keep them cold. Krorez also has a beachfront restaurant if you'd rather order lunch there instead. Either way works.

What's included in the tour price?

Snorkeling gear and a beach umbrella are included. The boat has a live English-speaking guide with you the whole time, and entry to all six beaches is covered—no extra fees.

Are these beaches crowded, or are they quiet places?

All six beaches are accessible only by boat, so they stay uncrowded compared to the main shore. They're the kind of secluded stops you can't reach by car or on foot, which is why the boat is the only way to get there.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes, the tour is designed for families. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The stops are short enough that children don't get restless, and Krorez gives you hours to relax together. Snorkeling is optional—you can swim in shallow water or stay on the beach instead.
