About this stop

What happens at Rrojdhe

Rrojdhe is a local secret, a quiet cove that stays calm even in high season. Snorkeling along the rocky edges reveals sea urchins, small fish, and dramatic underwater cliffs.

Rrojdhe is stop 7 of 8 on the Sarandë boat tour itinerary — right after Gjiri i Ushtarit — Sarandë boat tour stop guide and just before Secret Beach — Sarandë boat tour stop guide. See it in context on the full Sarandë boat tours hub.

Guide

Rrojdhe. The quiet cove most Sarandë boat tours skip

A local secret between Gjiri i Ushtarit and the Secret Beach — clearer water than the tourist stops and rarely another boat in sight.

Why most tours don't come here

Rrojdhe is small, off the standard route, and adds a few minutes to any itinerary — so the big ferry-style Sarandë boat tours skip it and stick to Kakome and Krorëz. As a small-boat local operator, we include it deliberately. It's the kind of cove that reminds guests why they came to Albania and not to a busier Mediterranean island.

Snorkeling: the clearest visibility on the tour

Because Rrojdhe stays uncrowded, the water is often the clearest we see all day — visibility 10m or more is normal. The rocky drop-offs on either side of the cove are ideal for snorkelers who want depth and structure without swimming far from the boat.

What to expect on shore

There's no beach bar, no music, no rental umbrellas. That's the point. Bring your swim gear, jump in from the boat, and enjoy 30 minutes of quiet before we cruise on to the day's final surprise.

How it fits the DES Boat Tour

Rrojdhe is stop 7 of 8, a shorter but deliberate pause between Gjiri i Ushtarit and Secret Beach. It's included in the €30 all-inclusive DES Boat Tour from Sarandë.

FAQ

Rrojdhe, questions & answers

Why is Rrojdhe so quiet compared to other Sarandë boat tour stops?+

Most Sarandë boat tours skip it. As a local operator, we include Rrojdhe so guests see a side of the Riviera that ferry tours don't reach.

Is Rrojdhe good for snorkeling?+

Yes, some of the best visibility on the tour, often 10m or more, with rocky drop-offs and small fish along the edges.

How long do you stay at Rrojdhe?+

30 minutes — a shorter but memorable stop between Gjiri i Ushtarit and Secret Beach.

Can you reach Rrojdhe by car?+

No, there's no road down to the cove. It's a boat-only stop, which is why it stays so calm.

Is Rrojdhe safe for beginner swimmers?+

Yes — the water is calm and life jackets are free. Stay near the boat if you're new to open-water swimming.

Is snorkelling gear provided at Rrojdhe?+

Yes. Masks, snorkels and life jackets are on board and free. Rrojdhe often has the day's best visibility, so it's worth grabbing gear here even if you skipped earlier stops.

How hard is the swim at Rrojdhe?+

Easy in the middle of the cove and moderate along the outer edges where the cliff drops off — the captain will tell you which side is safe to swim toward on the day.

What should I bring for the Rrojdhe stop?+

Standard swim kit — swimwear, towel, sunscreen. A GoPro or waterproof phone case is worth it here because the underwater visibility is the best of the day.

Where are the best photo spots at Rrojdhe?+

The cliffs behind the boat for landscape shots, and the drop-off along the east edge for underwater photos — the sunlight cuts through 10m of clear water.

Is Rrojdhe suitable for families with children?+

Yes — the middle of the cove is calm and shallow, life jackets in every size are free, and the 30 minutes is short enough that younger kids don't get restless.

Is snorkelling included at Rrojdhe?+

Yes — Rrojdhe is a swim stop. Free masks and snorkels are on board for every guest, and the crew hands them out before you get in. Visibility is usually 8–12 m on a calm day.

What time do we arrive at Rrojdhe from Sarandë?+

We depart Sarandë port around 09:30 (please arrive 15 minutes early). Rrojdhe is stop 7 of 8, reached about 3 hours 30 minutes after we cast off. The full tour returns to Sarandë by early afternoon.

What should I bring for Rrojdhe?+

Swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a phone or camera (a dry pouch is handy). Everything technical — snorkel gear, life jackets, cold drinks, shade — is already on the boat, so pack light.

What's included at Rrojdhe in the €30 price?+

Free cold drinks and welcome refreshment on board, free snorkelling masks, free life jackets in every size, bimini shade on the boat and a reserved sunbed + umbrella at our Krorëz private beach later in the day — all part of the €30 per-person price. No extra fees at Rrojdhe.
