Description

We will pick you up from your accommodation in Tirana (for Lezha and Shkodra there is a meeting point). Relax in a comfortable van for a 1.5-hour drive until our first stop for coffee, snacks, stretching your legs, and free toilets. Since it’s an early start, you can also take a nap during this part of the ride. To keep it peaceful, the guide will only share a short itinerary until after the break. From there, it’s about another 1.5 hours of driving. During this part, your guide will share interesting information about Albania, the area, and the tour itself while you enjoy the mountain and lake scenery. Please note that part of the road is under construction and can be a bit bumpy. After around 3 hours in total, we will reach the Komani Lake dam. Following the guide’s instructions, we’ll walk through a 7-minute tunnel to reach the boat. Enjoy a 1-hour boat ride across Komani Lake with stunning views of mountains, greenery, and crystal-clear waters—a perfect time for photos! At Shala River, you’ll have about 3 hours of free time. The guide will show you the best spots to swim, relax, have lunch, or enjoy a drink by the river. You will also have the option to join a short guided hike to the Shala River balcony for another amazing view. After enjoying this natural paradise, we will take the same boat back and meet the van for the return trip to Tirana, including one stop for a short break and toilets on the way. IMPORTANT: Always feel free to ask your tour guide for help or information during the trip. We really want you to enjoy the experience to the fullest and make great memories while you are on the tour!
