What To Expect

Ah, the beautiful Vjosa River—one of the last wild rivers in Europe! Where it flows: The Vjosa runs for about 270 km, starting in Greece (where it’s called the Aoös) and winding its way through southern Albania before pouring into the Adriatic Sea near Vlorë. It passes near places like Përmet, Tepelenë, and close to Gjirokastra, so it’s a perfect addition to your tour! Why it’s special: The Vjosa is untamed—no major dams, no concrete walls. Just crystal-clear water rushing through canyons, meandering across wide plains, and shaping an ever-changing landscape. It’s home to over 1,100 species and has become a symbol for eco-activism in Albania and Europe.

We had a fantastic kayaking tour along the Vjosa River, led by our friendly guide. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the area made the experience truly enjoyable. The breathtaking landscapes made every paddle worth it. We took breaks to swim in the river and jumped off cliffs also . This tour offered the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Vjosa River!

This private tour to Përmet and rafting on the Vjosa River was an unforgettable experience! The journey through the scenic mountains was beautiful, and Përmet itself is a charming town with a warm local vibe. The highlight was definitely rafting on the Vjosa—Europe’s last wild river. The water was crystal clear, the rapids were thrilling but safe, and the guides were professional and fun.
