Highlights
Description
On the day of your Komani Lake and Shala River adventure, you’ll be picked up early in the morning from your accommodation and driven through stunning mountain scenery toward Komani Lake. Once there, you’ll board a small ferry or traditional boat, setting off on a breathtaking cruise through narrow fjord-like passages surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery.
As the boat glides across the emerald waters, you’ll witness some of the most untouched natural beauty in Albania, with the occasional sight of goats climbing the rocky slopes or waterfalls trickling down sheer rock faces. After about two hours, you’ll arrive at the mouth of the Shala River—a turquoise, crystal-clear stretch often compared to the Maldives for its color and serenity.
You’ll disembark at a secluded river beach where you can swim in the cool, refreshing waters, sunbathe on the shore, or explore the surrounding forested trails. A delicious traditional lunch, usually featuring fresh local ingredients like grilled fish, homemade bread, and seasonal vegetables, will be served at a rustic riverside restaurant.
After plenty of time to relax, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, you’ll re-board the boat for your return journey through the majestic Komani canyons. As the sun begins to lower in the sky, the light paints the cliffs golden, offering a perfect end to the trip. Once back on land, you’ll be transferred back to your accommodation, likely feeling awe-struck by the natural wonders you’ve experienced.
