Description

Your adventure begins with hotel pickup in Përmet or at our rafting center, where you'll meet your certified guides and receive a full safety briefing. After being equipped with a wetsuit, waterproof jacket, helmet, life vest, and all the necessary rafting gear, you'll take a short transfer to the starting point on the Vjosa River, Europe's last free-flowing wild river. Once on the water, paddle through exciting rapids while surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Vjosa National Park. Along the route, we'll make several stops so you can experience much more than rafting. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear river, relax in peaceful natural surroundings, and, for those looking for an extra adrenaline rush, enjoy the opportunity to jump from riverside cliffs into deep natural pools. Cliff jumping is optional, making this experience suitable for both thrill-seekers and those who simply want to admire the scenery. One of the highlights of the trip is a stop at a small natural waterfall fed by warm thermal waters flowing into the Vjosa River. Take time to stand beneath the cascading water, enjoy the contrast between the warm spring water and the cool river, capture unforgettable photos, or simply relax while taking in this unique natural setting. Throughout the journey, your experienced guides will share interesting facts about the Vjosa River, its unique ecosystem, and why it is considered one of Europe's most important protected rivers. The adventure continues with more fun rapids before reaching the finish point, where you'll return to our rafting center with unforgettable memories of an experience that perfectly combines adventure, nature, relaxation, and the hidden gems of the Vjosa Valley.
