Description

Step into one of Albania’s most important and beautiful natural areas with this guided exploration of Karavasta Lagoon and Divjakë National Park. This immersive nature tour invites you to discover a rare ecosystem where wildlife thrives, birds soar overhead, and peaceful forest paths lead you to scenic coastal views. Your journey begins with a relaxed walk through fragrant pine woodlands, home to foxes, turtles, and countless species of birds. As you make your way toward the lagoon, your guide will introduce you to the story of this Ramsar-protected wetland, including its famous resident: the endangered Dalmatian pelican. Karavasta is home to around 5% of the world’s population of these majestic birds — making it one of the best places in Europe to observe them in the wild. From here, you’ll have the chance to climb the 360° viewing tower, offering sweeping views across the forest, lagoon, and Adriatic Sea. On clear days, you can see as far as the coastal dunes and islands dotting the lagoon’s surface. To deepen the experience, an optional boat ride can take you across the peaceful waters of the lagoon — a tranquil cruise that lets you get closer to the heart of this vast wetland. Pelicans, herons, flamingos, and cormorants are frequently spotted along the way. After exploring the lagoon, enjoy some free time to relax at Divjaka Beach, just a short stroll away. Whether you prefer a refreshing swim, a coffee at a local seaside café, or simply soaking up the sun on the sandy shore, this is the perfect way to end your nature escape. Ideal for birdwatchers, photographers, and anyone seeking a peaceful getaway into nature, this tour offers an authentic, unhurried glimpse of Albania’s unique biodiversity and natural beauty.
