Really enjoyed our trip - everything was well organised and on time. Plenty of time for swimming at each spot. Boat was comfortable and the skipper gave us as smooth a ride as possible even when the wind got up a bit!Would definitely recommend

We had a very relaxing boat trip with cool captain. We went to the cave, we could swim and enjoy a different part of Albanian nature.
