Fantastic trip with Captain Leo and Paula. We were 2 adults, 2 children and we booked the private pirates tour before we arrived in Albania. It was the highlight of the holiday for all of us. The children enjoyed listening to their playlist on the boat and my highlight was swimming through the secret cave and snorkeling at pigeons cave. We have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you

We took a private tour and we didn’t regret it. Everything was great. Our captain was super nice and very accommodating. And above all, the spots are beautiful and not too crowded with tourists. Only regret: it was too short. Next time, we’ll take a longer turn.

We had a great day doing the pirates cave tour with Marinos & Costas. Great guides and a wonderful morning

(Translated by Google) The Pirates Cave Tour (2.5-3 hours) with three swimming stops was fantastic. Our Captain Leo also made stops at beautiful spots along the way and explained everything to us in excellent English. The tour is very child-friendly; life jackets are provided, and two of the three swimming stops are at beaches, so children can take breaks. The last beach had many small caves that were easily accessible and perfect for children to explore and play in. A truly wonderful excursion, thank you, Captain Leo! 😊

We did a private boat tour today with Leo. It was absolutely amazing!! He looked after us so well, let us chose how long we want to spend at each stop and gave us info everywhere we stopped. I have been on other boat tours around Europe and this was the best by far, so much variety in the spots we went to (amazing caves, different beaches) and they also gave us some amazing pastries! the best day of my Europe trip so far. Couldn’t recommend more!

(Translated by Google) We did the Pirates Cave Tour and were thrilled! There were only two families on a small boat, the snorkeling and swimming stops were plenty, and the places we visited were truly beautiful bays and caves (though quite busy in peak season). Our boat captain, Leo, spoke excellent English and was incredibly friendly and fun with the kids!

On 24.10.2024 we took a 2.5 hour trip with this company to the Pirate Cave and several beautiful beaches with clear water, where there was the possibility of swimming and snorkeling. The captain and guide (Greek) in one person was very nice and communicative and created a great atmosphere on the boat. We recommend it 100%.

We did the boat trip to the Pirate Cave on 21-8-24. (total 2.5 hours) Our guide Paris stopped at many bays and a number of caves, some of which can only be reached by boat. Paris also gave a lot of explanation about the area. The water of the Ionian Sea is crystal clear, beautiful bays and rocky coasts can be seen. There was also the opportunity to swim at Crystal Bay and the Pigeon Cave. It was great😎.

We just landed from our 2,5h boat trip. We rented a private boat from 2 of us. Choses to explore the Pirate caves. Leonidas (Leo the captain) was super nice. He explained us all the coast stories, stopped in every single interesting spots, even drove the boat inside the caves!. We were able to swim, chill and explore ourselves the caves. Solid experience, good service and totally recommend it.

Did the pirate cave tour and really enjoyed it. Our guide Paris was super friendly and the captain very skilled, listened to some nice songs at the end and were well entertained by Paris’ cliff jump. ✨

(Translated by Google) We had the pleasure of booking a sunset tour with Himara Watertaxi, and it was simply fantastic. Our driver, Leo, was very friendly, helpful, and professional. As a family with young children, we felt safe and well cared for at all times. The tour itself was wonderfully organized, with several swimming stops that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. A highlight was the trip to Pirates Cave—an absolute must-see! Enjoying the sunset over the sea was the perfect ending to an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Himara Watertaxi and especially Leo!

(Translated by Google) Great boat trip to Pirates Cave, about three hours long with three stops for swimming.
€30 per person. The boat is new and in good condition; the only downside is the ladder, which could use one more step so everyone can board easily.
Zoé Sabatier –
We opted for the Pirate Cave boat tour and it was fantastic! We left at 10 am to tour the beaches and caves in the area, which took about an hour. We were then dropped off at a beautiful beach accessible only by boat. The crew was incredibly accommodating, and we were able to stay on the beach for two hours instead of one! We highly recommend it, and the price is unbeatable! :)

Pirate Cave tour included a spectacular hidden beach and caves you can swim through. Incredible. Thank you Kosta and Angelo

Anthony was our captain today and he took time showing us around the beautiful coastline of Himare. There is so much to see and we were taken to a couple of turquoise-watered secluded beaches only accessible by boat/ kayak for a dip. ( in my opinion the best beaches in Albania – especially away from the crowds & rubbish).
The pirates cave and St Theodore’s caves were beautiful rock formations that we were taken in to!
The private tour was a total of euro 140, but we were given the option to join a group tour (with only 4 other people) for 20 euros per person. Worth every penny!
