  • 5Wonderful experience with super friendly and helpful guide

    This stand up paddle tour with the guide Ari was a wonderful experience. Ari waited for us on time in the agreed cafe and had good paddle boards with him. Ari was very friendly and patient also with a beginner (one of us). He gave very good instructions and it felt very safe. To start at the beach in Ksamil is ideal for stand up paddling. I would strongly recommend this tour.

  • 5The perfect way to end a day in Ksamil!

    SUP was one of the activities we were most looking forward to as we always try to paddleboard whenever we travel somewhere with beautiful water and this experience did not disappoint. A huge thank you to our guide who was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to change our booking from the previous day because I wasn’t feeling well. The route was beautiful, paddling from the shores of Ksamil out towards the Twin Islands with time to take some breathtaking sunset photos before heading back. The water, scenery and atmosphere were incredible and it was such a peaceful way to finish the day. Genuinely one of the experiences that made our trip. If you’re visiting Ksamil, especially around sunset, this is an absolute must!

  • 5Amazing and breathtaking experience

    I had an amazing trip with Ari ! It happened to be that I was the one person for the morning of excursion so it truly became vip experience 😁 Paddle boarding over the clear water where I can see 5-7 meters down is something I’ll never forget. I must say, my trip to Albania overall was superior but experiences like they enhanced it drastically. We visited 3 islands , I was able to swim in the crystal clear water, enjoy the nature and myself on the board. Ari is professional tour operator so besides observing the nature I also had a pleasure to talk about Albania. I highly recommend the paddle board experience 🌊 and Ari as your guide 😊

    This was a magical experience crusing the beautiful sea of Ksamil in the early morning. I went with my kids aged 11 and 14 and we all had a really great time. Ari was the best guide. Take this trip if you are in Ksamil - you wont regret it!

About Saranda

Saranda is a sunny port on Albania's Ionian coast, curved around a wide bay with the Greek island of Corfu in sight across the water.

Saranda climbs a steep hillside above its bay, with a palm-lined promenade at the water's edge and apartment blocks stacked up the slope. Its name is a local form of the Greek for Forty Saints, after a monastery whose ruins lie among the houses. The mosaic floor of an ancient synagogue was found near the harbour, and Lëkurësi Castle, a sixteenth-century fortress on the ridge, looks over the town towards Corfu.

Top-ranked sights in Saranda: Lekursi Castle (Kajala e Lekuresit).
