Took a RIB boat ride to Sazan Island, Haxai Ali Cave and a beach stop. Left from the office (has toilet), which is a block back from the promenade, and walked to the boat as a group. They separated us into 3 boats. We were the old guys, but enjoyed the fast boat and lively music on the way to the island. We tried to hike up to the military base, but ran out of time. The cave was probably the best stop of the three. At the beach, it was past season (mid-October), so the facilities were lacking. We sat on some towels and fought mosquitoes until it was time to leave. Our boat driver/guide was fantastic! Overall, I feel that this is a good company to do business with, and would recommend them to others.

We did the „smaller“ tour on the afternoon, visiting 3 different spots. It was a great trip, the scenery is amazing, the first and last stop are great to take a swim, the cave was also very impressive! At the first stop you’ll also find public restrooms. On the way back we enjoyed a stunning sunset. The size of the group is just perfect and Nreka, our captain, was super relaxed and did some exciting loops with the speed boat :) definetly recommend doing a tour with this company!
