Ksamil Boat Tour: Private swim and snorkel, 4 islandsA 4-hour private boat tour around Ksamil, Albania, visiting the Ksamil Islands, Pema e Thatë, Ali Pasha Castle and the mussel farm near Butrint Lagoon, with 3–4 stops for swimming and snorkeling in the Ionian Sea. Your captain speaks English, provides snorkeling masks and fresh water, and anchors long enough at each bay to let you explore without rushing to the next group's schedule.Is it for me?The 4-hour window is what makes three or four separate swimming stops possible instead of one long anchorage—if you want to move through the coast and see different bays in a single morning or afternoon, this private boat gives you the time and the flexibility to do it without waiting for a group schedule.
