The 15 Best Ksamil Beach & Boat Days

78 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $27

The water off Ksamil is shallow enough to wade between islands, which is why every boat here is small and every trip is about anchor time. These 15 compare island runs, swim stops and half-day versus full, each priced per person.

1.Saranda, Ksamil, Blue Eye Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,584 reviews · 16h 30m · from $57Our pick

A full-day tour from Tirana or the coast to Sarandë, Ksamil, and the Blue Eye spring, with swims, sea views, and guided stops.

“We visited Ksamil, Sarandë, and the Blue Eye today and had a very good experience. The transport was well organized and comfortable, although it did get a little cold when the door was left open. The tour was not crowded, which made it feel calm and enjoyable. Our guide Beni spoke very good English and was friendly and informative. There were many stops along the way with great photo opportunities. We also joined the boat tour, which cost an extra 10 euros and was definitely worth it. Overall, a great day trip and good value for money.”

“The day trip was great, even though it rained most of the day—something none of us can control anyway! Our guide mentioned they usually get 300 days of sunshine a year, so I must have brought the rain with me from the UK! He picked me up from my hotel and drove us to all the different stops. Each place was fascinating to visit, and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly throughout. A great experience overall!”

Orgest was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot on the way, but most importantly he was friendly and welcoming and we felt comfortable and safe with him as our guide. It was a great, safe and comfortable day.”

“Tony was a great guide. Interesting stops , don’t expect much from Sarande as a tourist destination. It is definitely not developed for tourism. The van we were sent was incredibly uncomfortable and had seen better days and had minimal to no air conditioning. At times felt like we would pass out from the sweat and elevated temperature. Also it might be good to warn guests about what is not included such as the train and lunch at blue eye which only accepted cash Lets or Euros - so if you had no cash you are forced to walk 20 Minutes uphill under the blazing sun or sit at the…”
