Haxhi Ali Cave & Karaburun SpeadBoat

A Speedboat Journey Through Karaburun

This full-day guided speedboat tour is designed for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone longing to escape the ordinary and dive into a world of hidden caves, wild beaches, and crystal-clear waters in one of Albania’s most breathtaking and unspoiled coastal regions – the Karaburun Peninsula.

Kick off your adventure with a scenic 45-minute speedboat ride along the spectacular Ionian coastline. As you cruise past towering cliffs and sparkling blue waters, our your destination is the legendary Haxhi Ali Cave—a hidden gem steeped in myth and history. Spend 20–30 minutes exploring this fascinating sea cave: swim beneath its limestone arches, snorkel around its unique rock formations, and hear tales of the 17th-century pirate Haxhi Ali, whose name still echoes through the area.

From there, we continue along the untamed Karaburun Peninsula, passing remote beaches and dramatic landscapes that speak to Albania’s wild beauty. The next stop is a secluded beach on the peninsula, where you’ll have up to 3 hours to relax or explore at your own pace. Swim in crystal-clear waters, unwind on the pebbly shore, grab a drink or bite at a local beachfront restaurant, or simply soak up the sun in this peaceful paradise. Optional umbrella and sunbed rentals are available on site.

After a day of sea, sun, and discovery, return to Vlora with a renewed appreciation for Albania’s rugged coast, pirate lore, and pristine waters.
