Description

Begin your journey at the Komani Lake pier, where you’ll board a comfortable boat and start cruising through stunning mountain scenery. Komani Lake is famous for its dramatic fjord-like landscapes, steep cliffs, and emerald-green water, making the boat ride an experience in itself. As the boat moves deeper into the valley, enjoy peaceful views and learn about the region’s history, local traditions, and the creation of the hydropower reservoir that transformed this remote canyon into a spectacular waterway. The highlight of the tour is the Shala River, often called the “Albanian Thailand” for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and untouched natural surroundings. Upon arrival, enjoy several hours of free time to enjoy the area at your own pace. Swim in the refreshing waters, relax on the riverside beach, explore small hiking paths, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. Wooden restaurants by the river offer traditional food and drinks for those who wish to have lunch with an amazing view. The atmosphere is peaceful and ideal for photography, nature lovers, and anyone looking for an escape from crowded tourist areas. The river is accessible only by boat, giving it a unique and exclusive feel. After your relaxing time at Shala River, board the boat again for a scenic return trip across Komani Lake. The changing light in the afternoon provides new colors and perfect views for photos. Your day ends back at the Komani pier with wonderful memories of Albania’s fjords and the magical Shala River.
