Are food and drinks provided on the trips?
Drinking water and soft drinks are provided on every trip. On the full-day Grama Bay tour a light lunch with local products can be added for 20 EUR per person, arranged when you book; because it is prepared locally it is not always possible for very small groups, and we confirm in advance. On the other trips you are welcome to bring your own snacks too.
Can you swim inside Haxhi Ali Cave?
The boat enters the cave for photos and the story behind it. Swimming inside the cave is sometimes restricted by local authorities for safety, but there are swimming and snorkeling stops at nearby coves on every trip.
