Rated 5★ by travelers from across the world
Hundreds of guests, one consistent verdict: the best boat tour in Sarandë.
“Hands down the best day of our Albania trip. The captain knew every hidden cove, the boat was spotless, and Krorëz beach felt like our own private paradise.”
“Turtle Cave and Anchor Cave were unreal, crystal water, zero crowds. Free drinks kept flowing and the crew treated us like family. €30 is a steal.”
“The private beach at Krorëz alone is worth the trip. Free sunbeds, umbrellas, warm turquoise water. DES Boat Tours is the real deal in Sarandë.”
“Eight stops, snorkeling gear, life jackets for the kids, and a captain who spoke perfect English. Better than any Ksamil tour we compared.”
“Booked on WhatsApp the night before, smooth, honest, no hidden fees. The secret beach at the end of the day was pure magic.”
“We took cruises in Croatia and Greece, nothing came close to this. Small group, personal service, and the Albanian Riviera is next level.”
