Begin your adventure early in the morning with a departure from Tirana. Enjoy a scenic drive through northern Albania to the Koman Lake ferry terminal. Board a comfortable boat and glide through dramatic fjords carved into steep cliffs, admiring the breathtaking turquoise waters as you cruise into the heart of the Albanian Alps.
Mid-morning, dock at the serene Shala River—a tranquil haven renowned for its crystal-clear water and lush, green banks. Disembark to explore at your leisure: swim in refreshing springs, stroll along the riverbanks, or capture stunning photos of the canyon surroundings. For added fun, optional hikes or moments of relaxation by the water are available.
Next, savour a delicious riverside lunch featuring freshly caught trout, local salads, and mountain cheese—an authentic taste of northern Albania. After lunch, return to the boat for a peaceful cruise back across Koman Lake, retracing the route through its dramatic gorge.
Finally, drive back to Tirana by early evening, filled with memories of stunning landscapes, serene waters, and a blend of relaxation and adventure.
