Himare Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We started the excursion at 10:00 AM and finished it around 1:30 PM. The guide did not speak French but was very kind and tried his best to make himself understood in English. The pilot, who was also the DJ, was super cool. We stopped at three spots to jump off the boat and dive; the equipment was provided. We stopped in a cave, it was incredible and something we had never done; the guide always made sure it was safe before we entered. Bottled water was included. It was a very good morning. I highly recommend it.

We had an amazing time on the boat trip! We visited so many beautiful beaches and made several stops to swim and enjoy the incredible scenery. The staff were fantastic, super friendly and welcoming. Everything was perfect, and we had such a great time. Highly recommended! 🌊☀️

We really enjoyed the tour. We booked for 9 am to avoid the heat and slightly choppier sea in the afternoon. Kayaks were good and our French guide was very friendly. We stopped at some caves and small coves and had two breaks on the 3 hour trip, including a longer 50 minute one and shorter 20 minute one. They provided snorkelling equipment and we saw plenty of fish on both breaks. We also had the opportunity to padel board which was great as I’d never tried before. Overall a fun trip and excellent value for money. Happy to recommend this if you want a few hours break from chilling on the beach or by the pool

Really cool experience in the clear water. You get sailed a lot in kayak and then you have 2 stops along the way plus some visits in a couple of cliffs.

It was an amazing experience. My first time kayaking and it was wonderful!

Easy communication and flexibility with the cooperation. The driver was always on time and very carefull in the traffic. English was difficult, but there is always a way to make that work.

Great trip, from start to finish! The organiser (Lora) is super helpful and everything went exactly to plan. The van pickup is on time and van is comfortable. They provided waterproof bag and phone case, and also took some great photos for me, as I was on my own. The trip is relatively easy, and suitable for beginners. Some nice stops along the way to swim / photo.

Ervis picked us up Tirana airport and took us to Pristina in Kosovo. Very polite and informative. Excellent driver and a credit Balkan Tours.

A perfect day at sea. The scenery was even better than the photos. Our captain knew the best places to stop and gave us enough time to swim and take pictures. Everything felt easy and well organized.

Absolutely worth it! We visited several gorgeous spots that are difficult to reach by car. The boat ride itself was fun, and the swimming stops were perfect. A must do if you’re visiting the Albanian Riviera.

Great tour, the team leading the activity is very friendly and clear. We discover magnificent places, small caves, and the rocky shores up close. The snorkeling breaks are pleasant and the 3 hours are sufficient, the return trip against the wind is quite tiring :) In short, a must-do if you are in the Himare area!

An unforgettable experience! Paddling along the beautiful coastline, exploring sea caves, and swimming in the crystal-clear water made this tour truly special. The scenery around Porto Palermo is breathtaking. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and the pace was perfect for both beginners and experienced kayakers. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting southern Albania. Definitely a five-star experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so grateful to Choose Balkans for their great communication and to Genti who gave us a tour and history of Albania as we transfered from the airport to our teams work in near Lezhe. I look forward to returning in the future, and will definitely book again wiht CB!

Despite the early morning, the pick up was already waiting for me. Agency responded very quickly to my messages and everything was organised very smoohtly. Would recommend!

Beautiful places and great service. Our captain was really kind and made the whole experience enjoyable. The water was incredibly clear and every stop was worth it. Next time grama bay🥳❤️

One of the best things we did on our trip! The coastline was stunning, especially the hidden bays and caves. Everything was well organized and we never felt rushed. Such a relaxing day on the water.
