What to Expect

Come on board with us to explore the "Albanian Fjord" and the Shala River with our boat trip. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Shkodra through picturesque landscapes towards Komani Lake. As you arrive at the lake, prepare for a stunning boat ride across the mesmerizing waters, often referred to as the "Albanian Fjords". For approximately 1.5 hours, you will glide through dramatic gorges and towering cliffs, taking in the pristine nature all around.

Upon reaching the Shala River, you will have the opportunity to relax and explore this beautiful setting. Dive into the crystal-clear, cold alpine waters for a refreshing swim, or take a serene nature walk along the riverbanks. For those seeking more adventure, optional activities such as kayaking or zip-lining are available upon request. The natural beauty of Shala River offers the perfect backdrop to unwind and connect with nature.

Around midday, indulge in a delightful riverside lunch featuring authentic Albanian dishes, made with fresh, local ingredients. As you savour your meal, enjoy the unique ambiance of dining surrounded by nature. Following lunch, a leisurely boat ride will take you back across Komani Lake, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking views once more. Finally, relax during your return journey to Shkodra, reflecting on the day's adventures in this enchanting landscape.
