I had such an amazing month here and was sad to say goodbye. The scenery is stunning, the people are fun, and the work is simple. Definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys meeting new people and loves some beach time. So many memories that I will never forget! For now, I have an intense tan to remember this place by.

Thank you for a wonderful experience in the boat! Being tour guide and DJ on the boat was a highlight. The customers were great, and it was fun practising my French at times. Niko, Joni, and the other captains and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the traditional food, evening socials, free kayaks at sunset, and hiking to the Castle. I enjoyed experiencing Greek culture and learning about Albanian history and traditions. The organisation and flexibility made everything run smoothly. The captains' humour and cocktails at Lido added fun. Great location, comfy room, and I felt safe.

This was my first work exchange experience, having no expectations, I truly feel a little upset to have to say goodbye to the people at the boat. You will make so many friends and see the beautiful Albanian Coastline . I want to thank everyone - staff and fellow volunteers for making this an unforgettable experience, hopefully I can come back one day !

I absolutely loved my experience at the boat! From day one, the whole team made me feel welcome and part of the family. They were always kind, respectful with working hours, and ready to help. The food was delicious, often traditional, and the accommodation was very comfortable. I learned so much about Albania, its culture and history, and made beautiful friendships that I'll carry with me forever.
