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.

I don't think any world packers experience can live up to this one. Truly a remarkable experience! Niko, Joni, Dea, and all the captains were absolutely wonderful to work with. I couldn't recommend Himare the boat more.

Nico and the whole the boat Team were beyond welcoming from the moment I arrived in the boat. Truly an incredible experience with incredible people. From the town locals to the job itself, a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Thank you Nico and your whole family/team for the trust and I hope to see you all again some day!

I had an amazing month at the boat. A big thank you to Niko, Dea, Joni and all the captains for being so welcoming! The majority of your shifts will be spent in the office or flyering, the tasks are easy and whilst there isn't formal training, Dea and the other volunteers are quick to help and answer any questions. The boat shifts are amazing and don't feel like work at all! The accommodation is basic but Niko and Joni listened to our feedback and are always making improvements. This was my first volunteer experience and I am so grateful to have spent it here!

I had an amazing month here! The work is easy and going on boat tours twice a week was a huge highlight. Himarë is small but perfect for beach lovers. Niko and Dea were kind and supportive (addressed concerns quickly) - and we socialised with the captains often! It can be a bit unorganised during peak season, but go with the flow and ask questions if unsure! Accommodation is basic but improving (no stove/windows however AC being installed soon!). Some social attitudes here may not align with progressive values— if you're part of a marginalised group/concerned about this message me for info!

Thank you Niko, Dea and Joni for having me! I really enjoyed getting to know the other volunteers and going out on the boat. If you're doing this experience, just know that with limited days off it's not super easy to explore surrounding areas in Albania, so you will spend all your time in Himare which is quite small, but it is a very charming little town! The schedule also comes out every evening, which makes it a bit hard to plan your days ahead at all. It was great getting free lunch as well as some groceries paid for! Thanks again!
