Description

From June to October, water levels in Osumi Canyon drop too low for traditional rafting rafts. To maintain access, Albania Rafting Group uses lightweight individual river tubes weighing about 3 kg. These tubes allow guests to glide through the crystal-clear waters and explore areas inaccessible to larger rafts.

You will float through a canyon carved over 3 million years by the Osumi River, surrounded by towering cliffs, waterfalls, unique rock formations, and pristine nature. This tubing journey lasts approximately three hours, combining relaxation, swimming, adventure, and exploration.

Opportunities to jump from rocks into natural pools add excitement, while swimming is possible in the clear canyon waters. No prior experience or special skills are needed. This activity suits families, couples, friends, and solo travelers of all ages.

More than an adventure, river tubing in Osumi Canyon offers a calming experience in one of Albania’s prominent natural landscapes. Albania Rafting Group, the first to introduce rafting here and the Osumi Canyons, maintains the highest safety standards with internationally experienced guides. Participants wear neoprene pants, life jackets, diving suits, and shoes. All trips are led by trained certified professionals.
