About The Route
Why This Boat Trip Is Special
The Karaburun Peninsula is one of the most spectacular coastal areas of Albania. This boat trip explores hidden bays, sea caves, and crystal-clear beaches that are difficult or impossible to reach by road.
The coastline between Vlore and Grama Bay is known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise water. Along this route you will find famous natural landmarks such as the Blue Cave, the historic Haxhi Ali Cave, and quiet swimming spots like Dafina Bay and Englishman Bay.
Instead of visiting just one location, this route combines several of the most beautiful places on the Peninsula into one full-day speedboat experience. The result is one of the most complete boat trips for travelers who want caves, snorkeling, hidden beaches, and Albania’s most iconic bay.
For many visitors, Grama Bay becomes the highlight of the journey — a wide natural amphitheater of cliffs and turquoise water where travelers can swim, relax on the beach, and experience one of the most photographed places along the Albanian Riviera.
