Description
Experience Albania’s most breathtaking natural journey with a private boat tour from Komani Lake to the magnificent Shala River. This fully customizable trip gives you the freedom to choose when to start, where to stop, and how long to stay — creating a truly personal adventure through one of the country’s hidden gems.
Your journey begins at the Komani Lake port, where your private captain will welcome you aboard a comfortable motorboat, exclusively for you and your group. As you set off, you’ll glide through a spectacular fjord-like landscape — towering mountains rising sharply from turquoise waters, peaceful coves, and untouched nature stretching as far as the eye can see.
Unlike shared group tours, this private option allows you to travel entirely at your own pace. Whether you prefer an early-morning start to catch the soft light over the water, or a relaxed midday departure, the choice is yours. Along the route, you can stop anywhere you like — to take pictures, swim in the refreshing clear water, or simply enjoy the silence surrounded by nature.
As you continue your journey, your captain can take you to hidden spots known only to locals — small caves, panoramic cliffs, or natural swimming areas perfect for a refreshing dip. The flexibility of this tour means you can make as many stops as you wish, turning the ride itself into an unforgettable experience.
Arriving at Shala River, often called “the Thailand of Albania” for its crystal-blue water and white stone beaches, you’ll step into a peaceful paradise. Here you can relax on the riverbank, swim in the transparent water, explore the small wooden bridges, or have a delicious traditional meal and mediterrane menu at one of the local restaurants by the shore.
There’s no rush — you just select the start time, for return, your captain will wait for you at Shala River until you’re ready. Stay for one hour or spend the entire day — you decide when to leave and when to come back. This complete flexibility makes the tour ideal for couples looking for a romantic escape, families wanting to enjoy a private day in nature, or groups of friends seeking freedom and fun.
During the return trip, you can once again pause at beautiful spots for photos, swimming, or simply to soak up the incredible landscape of northern Albania. Every moment of the journey is designed to be calm, personal, and memorable.
This Private Boat Tour to Shala River is more than a tour — it’s an experience shaped entirely around you. Feel the connection with nature, enjoy total privacy, and explore one of Europe’s last untouched natural wonders, all at your own rhythm.
