      Unforgettable Day at Grama Bay with TripMe.Today – Exceptional Service!
      Our boat tour with TripMe.Today to Grama Bay was absolutely incredible! From the moment we set sail, everything was perfectly organized. The stunning views, crystal-clear waters, and the peaceful atmosphere of Grama Bay made it an unforgettable experience. We stayed almost all day, enjoying every moment until noon, and truly had a blast. A special shoutout to our skipper, Edison, who was amazing! He was professional, friendly, and made sure we had the best time on board. I highly recommend TripMe.Today for anyone visiting Vlorë – it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

      One of the best days ever!!!!
      I chose the grama bay tour and i can honestly saynit was one of the best decisions i ever made. The tour took whole day as we departed at 10am and was back to vlore around 8pm but if it werr for me i would gladly have it last longer. A beautiful day spent visiting amaizing bays and brethtaking caves and secret beaches. I had the sun on my face the wind on my back and not a single worry in my mind. Accompanied by good music and unlimited beers and some tasty snacks, it felt like the perfect escape from reality. On the way back we were caught up in some waves but our captain made sure to navigate us comfortably through them.( shout out to Edison, the best skipper in town). I'd also like to thank all of the staff who made me feel welcomed and appreciated. 1000% recomended, the best activity you can do in vlore. Next time i visit Albania, i am totally doing it again.

      Unreliable Company
      Please be aware that this Service is unreliable. We bought a group trip with them in Vlore and they cancelled 1 hour after depature time and without any prior alert/notification. 30 mins before departure time we were informed that there are not enough people so our trip will be postponed by one day (it was b-day gift so this alone is not ideal but still understandable). In addition, we were told that if there will be same situation and group wont be big enough, they will do shorter trip just for us. The next day we went to the agreed pickup place. We were waiting there for 15mins trying to reach contact number on WhatsUp - nobody answered. Their office (photo included) in the pickup spot, looked like no one was there for quite some time. After 15mins of waiting we went straight to the port where we believed we will departure from. Again, no one from TripmeToday was there and people from other Boat Rental Services told us that we bought trip with "not serious company" and they are observing quite a lot group like ours - abandoned without any notification. After reaching to TripMeToday from different phone number, they finally answered but then they informed us that trip is cancelled and refund will be made in later on. No more contact from them after this. To our group, this high score on Google is due to review farming and I strongly discourage you to book with this Company.

      Possibly the best thing I've ever done!!
      A lot of cred to the captain and the crew! They were amazing the whole time! They had the atmosphere at top the whole trip! The timing for the snacks were fantastic. Captain showing off his driving skills but also being very considerate of everyone onboard. A lot of cudos to the personnel! The blue cave were my absolute favorite and I absolutely recommend others to take this tour but at the very least take a tour that includes the blue cave. We were lucky with amazing weather and the light shining in from underneath the water surface made it all look so turquoise! It was stunning! I do recommend to being sunscreen!! I were not thinking that far ahead and is now paying the price. Though it was still very much worth it!! I can not recommend this enough!!

      Unforgettable Adventure
      This speedboat tour was an unforgettable experience! First we went to the Sazan Island and visited the best beach in the island, then we visited the Haxhi Ali Cave. We had the chance to jump into water inside the cave and swim there and it was a thrilling experience. The hosts were kind and accommodating, making the journey even more enjoyable. A perfect blend of adventure. I highly recommended!

    A great trip, an amazing beach with crystal clear water and an interesting experience in a sea cave. I would suggest skipping the stop on Salazar Island, because there is no restaurant, shade, sunbed, and for 45 minutes you have nowhere to go and you are in the sun at 35 degrees Celsius. I would suggest you to just go around the island or make a stopover once the basic infrastructure is taken care of. The super driver of the speedboat, who provided an excellent experience of speeding on the sea, so all praise to him and the organizing team.

    I had an amazing experience on the boat trip I took yesterday! The tour guide, Klejsi, was not only incredibly friendly but also made sure we felt comfortable throughout the journey. He truly made the day memorable by providing interesting insights and creating a fun atmosphere. The trip was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, thanks to the stunning views and engaging activities. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day. Kudos to Klejsi for being such a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fantastic time on the water.

    There was a bit of Kerfuffle leaving in the morning as the meeting point/marina changed due to the other being under construction, however this wasn’t the company’s fault. Once we got out on the water, the rest of the day was awesome! Our captain was very cool, each stop was very nice and overall a great day. Only suggestion to the company would be to spend less time at Karaburun and more time at Sazan island. A very cool island with a whole ghost town to explore.

    The first 2 stops where ok, but at the 3rd stop we had to stay for 4,5 hours! If you wanted an umbrella (wich was necessairy) you had to Pay €20! It was a lame small private beach with expensive food and drinks. For the rest, the sea was very wild so getting op and of the island was very unsafe. The captain of the boat was irresponsable.

    We booked the speed boat tour to the Karaburun beach and the cave. We were 7 plus the captain/tour guide. First of all we believe that the boat is not appropriate for this kind of activities, secondly if at the time of departure there is any risk for the participants we would have preferred to have the tour cancelled. We think that the solution for bad conditions in the sea (waves) cannot be going to the water and drive with turbo against the waves and jumping with people that are your responsibility and that are not sea experts.

    Sadly that is what happened and the explanation given afterwards was that it was the driver’s first day. The result was traumatic, we were sitting on the edge of the boat, without life jacket, we jumped the waves hurting ourselves in different parts of our bodies and all our stuff was completely wet.

    As we got there a man in his 50s that was in the boat and ended up exhausted after the way to the Karaburun beach booked his way back with another bigger boat.

    The organisation was also terrible as we had to skip the cave at first because of the conditions of the sea and we were told that we were gonna go there at 5pm, but they came to our umbrella at 2pm to bring us there and had to be whiteness of an argument between the manager and the driver. Finally it was a third driver who brought us to the cave in a more pleasant way of driving but in a hurry so we couldn’t fully enjoy.

    The day after we couldn’t move because of the pain and the injuries suffered during the trip. Our hands ended up with hurts due to the strength we had to use to hold the rope around the boat trying to save our lives.

    I would book this same excursion with a different agency in a bigger boat to make sure your life would be at risk.

    We really liked this excursion. 4 hours on a very cute little beach in a beautiful place with transparent water. Then we swam for 30 minutes in the cold water of the cave before leaving for a final stop on the Sazan Island. Our guide was very friendly and gave us lots of information about the different places that we were able to meet.

    Good communication throughout and the skipper was great! Our favourite part of the tour was the cave which was beautiful with purple rocks. Karaburun beach was nice however was quiet since it’s still low season in April (no sunbeds/restaurant closed).

    I would highly recommend this company - can imagine the tour to be even better during the summer!

    We barely got to see anything, they dropped us in Sazan for 20 min, 5 min at the caves and then 4 HOURS in a tiny, crowded beach packed with umbrellas you had to pay for, loud music and nothing to do but just lay there. We were dropped back in Vlorë 1.5h before we were supposed to.

    I placed a complaint with the company but they haven't responded yet. There are other, better trips to Karaburun, don't fall for this TOURIST TRAP!!!

    The organization was bad! Booking Referral not found. Standed that you had to be there 15min before, but even show up at 9.45 without information what so ever. We find that you could easily linger for two hours at the first stop, even in the cave we were only about 30min, which you could def. extend. The boat itself we found rather overfelt. In general, it was NOT spectacular.

    Despite the cloudy skies and an abundant delay for departure, the experience turned out to be a lot of fun. Nice skippers although we expected explanations about the tour.
    Cons: We were about 20 people instead of 12 as per Reservation. Music maybe a little loud but still fun.
    Positive notes: lots of bathroom stops, crystal clear sea, possibility to enter the caves, unlimited drinks.
    We were lucky enough to see the dolphins too!! 🐬
    Price a bit 'excessive but still worth it!!
