Great experience in the Vjosa River

It was really good fun. The instructors were very friendly and funny. We felt safe at all times and we had a great time. In addition they took photos and sent them to us at the end of the tour.

Christelle_C, Jul 2023

C’était très beau ! Moniteur très gentil. La descente vaut le coup vraiment ! :) Ça peut paraître long mais le paysage est magnifique. On s’arrête au blue eyes. Juste dommage de pas avoir eu beaucoup de rapide. Ceux qui pense avoir une attraction forte, abstenez vous.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Bonjour Christel, Merci beaucoup pour la superbe critique! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié le kayak sur la rivière Vjosa en Albanie. Il est génial de savoir que le moniteur était très gentil et que la descente en valait vraiment la peine. Les paysages magnifiques et l'arrêt au Blue Eyes ajoutent certainement à l'expérience. Nous comprenons que certains peuvent espérer plus de rapides pour une expérience plus intense, et nous apprécions votre honnêteté à ce sujet. Cependant, nous sommes heureux que vous ayez trouvé la descente belle malgré cela. Si jamais vous décidez de vivre plus d'aventures ou si vous avez des amis cherchant une expérience similaire, nous serions honorés de vous accueillir à nouveau. Merci encore d'avoir choisi le groupe Albania Rafting, et que vos futures aventures soient tout aussi magnifiques! Cordialement,
