Booking FAQs

Pack your swimwear cause the waters around Karaburun are simply too inviting. Bring along a towel, sunscreen, and a hat to stay comfortable. Sunglasses are handy for both the sea glare and the coastal views. A spare set of clothes will make the return journey more comfortable. Carry any personal must-haves like medication, light snacks, or motion-sickness remedies.

Leave behind any items that could pose a risk onboard or in the water. Please respect the environment. Marine life, rocks, and island features should be admired from far.

This experience isn’t suitable for wheelchair users due to the boat design and island docking points. Getting on and off the boat and moving around onboard requires steady footing, particularly during swim stops.

Children are welcome and often enjoy the pirate-themed setting, but adult supervision is essential at all times. Lunch is not included but you can select a package with a traditional meal served onboard when booking. In case of unsafe weather conditions, the itinerary may be modified or the tour rescheduled. The Port of Vlora is easily accessible by taxi or public transport. On Sazan Island, you’ll be able to explore select open-air bunkers and former military structures. Haxhi Ali Cave is viewed directly from the boat. Its impressive natural entrance makes for a great photo opportunity. You can swim and snorkel in Karaburun’s clear waters, where you may spot Mediterranean fish, sea urchins, and striking underwater rock formations. Life jackets are provided for all guests, and the experienced crew remains attentive to safety throughout the journey.
