What you can expect

Blue Eye Local Experience from Sarandë – Choose Your Adventure

Escape the crowds and discover one of Albania's most beautiful natural attractions with a local guide. This is an authentic, adventure-focused experience designed for travellers who want to enjoy nature, local stories, and unforgettable landscapes.

NOT A LUXURY OR HISTORY-FOCUSED TOUR.

Choose the option that suits you best:

Basic Package
Return transport from Sarandë
Local guide throughout the experience
Blue Eye entrance fee included
Around 1 hour of free time at the Blue Eye restaurant area
Kayak Experience

Everything included in the Basic Package, plus:

1-hour guided kayak experience on the crystal-clear waters near the Blue Eye.
How the experience works

After arriving at the Blue Eye entrance, you can choose to walk or take the tourist train to the spring.

The train is optional and NOT included.
We intentionally do not include it because buying it on-site is cheaper for you and gives you complete flexibility.

Train ticket: 300 ALL (€3) one way
Cash only
You can decide on the spot whether to walk or take the train.

Please stay with the group at all times. Whether you walk or take the train, everyone meets again at the cafés near the Blue Eye entrance before continuing together.

Once everyone arrives at the Blue Eye spring, your local guide will share interesting facts and stories about this unique natural wonder. You'll have time to take photos and admire the incredible blue water.

Swimming is not allowed at the Blue Eye spring. Since temperatures can be very high during summer, after the photo stop we continue to the nearby restaurant area.

From there, the experience continues depending on your booking:

Basic Package: Relax at the restaurant, swim in front of restaurant, enjoy the beautiful scenery, have a drink or lunch, and spend approximately 1 hour of free time.
Kayak Experience: Continue to the kayaking area and enjoy one unforgettable hour paddling through refreshing crystal-clear waters, surrounded by untouched nature.

After everyone finishes their activities, the group meets again before returning comfortably to Sarandë together.
