The bay of Vlore is a natural playground for children: calm sheltered water, islands to explore, storybook caves, and boats of every kind. The only thing you need is the right tour for your kids' ages — which is exactly what this page (and our WhatsApp) does for you.
The golden rule: the -30% kids' discount
All our partner operators apply a 30% discount for children aged 0 to 10 on shared tours. It is a bay convention, but not everyone advertises it: we apply it automatically to every quote — just tell us the ages in chat and the maths arrives already discounted. Real example: family of 2 adults + 2 children (6 and 9) on the €30 Sazan combo → €60 + €42 = about €102 total for a day the kids will talk about at school in September.
The right tours by age
0–4 years: short durations and comfortable boats. The sunset tour (1.5–2h, from €25) is perfect: little navigation, a gentle schedule, and the little one can even fall asleep on board. The short Blue Cave tour works well too.
5–9 years: the golden age of the pirate tour (from €40): galleon sailing ship, corsair tales, entertainment — designed for them. The Sazan combo (4–5h, from €30) is the runner-up: an island to explore, a cave, and lots of swimming.
10+ years: they are ready for everything now, including the Grama Bay full day if they are used to the sea. At this age they pay as adults but handle the 8 hours easily — and Grama's snorkelling wins them over.

Prices indicative, confirmed exactly on WhatsApp with the kids' discount already calculated. For families of 5+, consider the private boat: the price is per group and often wins.
Practical tips from parents (written by parents)
- Life jackets available in every size, babies included — confirmed at booking
- Always bring water and snacks: wild beaches have no bars
- High-factor sunscreen and hats: sun reflected off the sea is merciless
- Early morning = fresher kids and calmer sea; the afternoon belongs to the sunset tour
- Seasickness: rare inside the bay (sheltered water), but if your child is sensitive, the short cave tour is the safest choice
- Prams and pushchairs: left ashore at the pier — the skipper tells you where

Frequently asked questions
Does the -30% discount apply to every tour?
To all shared tours of our partner operators, for children aged 0 to 10. On private tours children are simply included in the group price. Tell us the ages in chat and the quote arrives already discounted.
What is the best tour with a 3-year-old?
The sunset tour (1.5–2 hours, comfortable boat, gentle timing) or the short Blue Cave tour. Both involve little navigation and an easy return — and if the little one has a meltdown, the day is not ruined.
Are there life jackets for small children?
Yes — partner operators carry jackets in every size, including babies and toddlers. We confirm it explicitly at booking when you tell us the ages: everything arrives already on board.
Shared tour or private boat with kids?
Under 4 people, shared wins on price. From 4–5 up, the private boat from €400 per group often costs the same and solves everything: your own pace, meals and naps without stress, swim stops whenever you want. Let us do the maths in chat — that is our job.
