Customer reviews
Absolutely magical experience! The castle ruins are stunning and the swim stops were incredible. Our guide Marjus was knowledgeable and funny. The lunch on board was delicious — fresh fish and local wine. Highly recommend!
Best tour we did in Albania by far. The boat is comfortable, the group was small and friendly, and the Cape of Rodon is a hidden gem. We even spotted a pod of dolphins on the way back!
Beautiful scenery and great guide. The castle was impressive and the food was tasty. Only minor issue was the sea was a bit choppy on the way back, but nothing serious. Would definitely do it again.
