About the Activity
What to Expect
Join us on a boat trip to the stunning Grama Bay. During our navigation, we will have the chance to explore stunning landmarks, like Haxhi Ali, and to have several swimming stops as well. Our adventure begins as we set off towards the cave of the most famous pirate of the Balkans, Haxhi Ali. The cave, accessible only by sea, offers a unique and secluded experience that you will not find anywhere else.
Our voyage then carries us forward to the magical beach of Dafina Gulf, where the intense blue and crystalline waters beckon. Here, we have the opportunity to steer our boat into the mesmerizing Dafina cave, illuminated by sunlight that creates magical blue hues. You will be enchanted by the biodiversity and colourful fishes in these waters.
The journey will carry on and stop in Bristan Bay, where we will visit the amazing Blue Cave. All the beaches are beautiful, wild, with crystal clear water. Finally, we will reach Grama Bay. Located on the Karaburun Peninsula in Albania, this secluded bay, accessible primarily by boat, boasts crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and pristine beaches that make it a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling. Historically, Grama Bay was used as a shelter by ancient sailors, and you can still find inscriptions carved into the rocks dating back to Roman times. This tour is ideal for adventurers, history enthusiasts, and nature lovers.
