5.00Honestly this tour exceeded every expectation. Clear kayaks, great safety briefing, and small group size (only 6 of us). The guide shared stories about local history and Vjosa’s fight to remain a wild river. We stopped for swimming and cliff jumping total highlight of our Balkans trip. Book direct with them – they’re pros.

5.00Kayaking on the Vjosa River was one of the highlights of our trip to Albania. Located near Përmet in Vjosa National Park, this experience offers stunning landscapes and a peaceful river environment. The equipment was high quality, and the staff made sure everything was clear before starting the self-guided route. If you are searching for kayaking Albania or things to do in Përmet, this is the perfect choice.
