Shala River makes you do a double take—turquoise water, steep cliffs, and that calm “we’re really here?” feeling. Locals call it the Albanian Thailand for a reason. The ride there is half the fun: a panoramic cruise across Komani Lake, with mountain views and narrow canyon stretches made for photos. You’ll pass quiet bays and tiny lakeside villages, with the Albanian Alps in the background on clear days. On board, you’ll travel on a roomy boat (up to 52 guests) with a multilingual crew, so things run smoothly without feeling rushed. Start in Koman or take the easy transfer from Shkodër—once you’re on the water, the pace changes. Drinks are available to buy on board. Seats are comfy, and the crew keeps the day simple and safe, too! Then it’s your time at Shala: swim, float, try kayaking if it’s available on-site, or grab a spot on the rocky riverbank and relax. No forced agenda—just fresh air and clear water. Life jackets are provided and guests are insured, so you can focus on the fun.

This tour was thought and offered from local people of Thethi, who will not offer you just a guide but you will dive in this local lifestyle and have a unique experience from this remote wild area of the Albanian alp, part of Thethi National Park. Wild because the nature is still virgin, untouched, as described from other tourist and the access road is still unpaved on its last 15 km. That means that it will be a kind of adventure and challenge experience driving to Theth. In just three days you will have the possibility to enjoy the beauty of the main destinations of Thethi, like the waterfall and canyon, the blue eye and stone groves, the church and the lock in tower, the accommodation in traditional guesthouses called ‘kulla’; have a dinner with local homemade and organic food, and experience Albanian welcoming in person. We also give the possibility to challenging hikers to discuss hiking options, in the sense that instead of doing a specific destination, choose doing another one.
