Really nice experience
A really nice experience with beautiful nature and a captain who was good at telling

Boat driver was nice but not a great experience, there are a lot of other options
Unfortunately, they did not put us on the boat that we paid for and had more people on the tour than were promised so we all had to squish and it wasn’t comfortable. Beware that you might end up on a small boat after paying for the larger one, which means you will not get the experience you paid for + tour operator will not issue refund or try to fix it. There are many boat tour options so just confirm boat details before boarding so you get what you paid for. Also they got motor oil all over some passengers bathing suits :( The boat tour has a big office on Dhermi Beach and takes you to beautiful locations. The boat driver was really kind. They gave us burek.
Response from the operator: Hi Yudy, Thanks for taking the time to write the review on the tour. Regarding the boat we use for the tour, it is usually the big boat which can accommodate up to 24 people. But on the date of your tour, the size of the group was small so we had to use a different boat. Your group was 9 people and the capacity of the boat was for 12 people, so it was not on max capacity. Regarding the fact that one of the guests got oil in their swimming pants, it did not happen on the boat so it is not our responsibility. Regarding other boat options in Dhermi, we are the only licensed boat tour operator with a "a big office on Dhermi beach" as you said. The others are just individuals with no office, who are scamming people. Regarding the refund, we hope this was not the reason why you wrote e two star review. I am glad to read that you enjoyed the fact that we took you to beautiful places and had a great time. On behalf of the skipper, I want to thank you for tipping him in the end of the trip. All the best of luck to you in your future travels. Dhermi Boat Tours

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tirana.
How much does Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tirana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tirana is not rushed.
Is Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tirana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tirana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tirana and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dhermi: Boat Tour of Grama bay & Secret Blue cave, swimming stops start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tirana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tirana?
+
On Outty we rank every Tirana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tirana- Hiking Tour to Bovilla Lake & Gamti Mountain, From Tirana / Durres: Gamti Mountain and Bovilla lake Day Trip, Kruja castle, the old Bazaar & Sarisalltik- Departure from Tirana. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tirana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tirana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
