Tour in barca a Himara: domande frequenti

Quanto costa un tour in barca a Himara?

I tour di gruppo in motoscafo partono da circa 30 € a persona per la mezza giornata alla Grotta dei Pirati. La giornata intera alla Baia di Grama costa circa 58 € a persona, la mezza giornata a Porto Palermo da circa 20 €. Una barca privata costa da 150 € a 500 € per l'intera imbarcazione.

I tour in barca a Himara sono sicuri per i bambini?

Sì. I giubbotti di salvataggio sono forniti per tutte le età e la mezza giornata alla Grotta dei Pirati è abbastanza tranquilla per le famiglie. Le soste per il bagno in acque basse sono perfette per i bambini. Nel pomeriggio, con il mare mosso, il motoscafo può sobbalzare: con i più piccoli meglio partire al mattino.

Devo prenotare in anticipo un tour in barca a Himara?

A luglio e agosto prenota almeno il giorno prima: le partenze del mattino sono le prime a esaurirsi. A giugno e settembre di solito basta presentarsi ai chioschi sulla spiaggia di Spile. La prenotazione online ti garantisce il posto e un prezzo fisso.

Cosa succede se il tempo è brutto?

Con vento forte o temporali i tour vengono annullati e gli operatori propongono un'altra data o il rimborso. Le rotte verso nord sono le prime a saltare; la mezza giornata a Porto Palermo, più riparata, spesso parte comunque. Le mattine piovose spesso lasciano il posto al sereno nel pomeriggio.

Quale tour in barca scegliere a Himara?

Se hai solo una mattina, scegli la mezza giornata alla Grotta dei Pirati. Se hai un giorno intero, scegli la giornata alla Baia di Grama: raggiunge la baia più incontaminata della Riviera e la Grotta Blu. Nelle giornate ventose, la rotta riparata per Porto Palermo è la scelta sicura.
