    The team is just great! We were supposed to be in a boat with other people who didn't arrive, and we went on a private boat, just a couple and a guide. It was the greatest experience! Our guide was informative, funny and very helpful as we were only 2 in the boat. We stopped for a swim and to jump from rocks and we paddled through heavy rain that came by surprise. Overall experience was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.

    Hey friends, we had an amazing Raftingtour and a great experience due to our Guide Irma and the Company "Rafting Tour in Vjosa Wild River National Park". So we only can fully reccomand this tour. Don't think twice - do it!

    Great rafting experience

    This is a great experience. The instructors are top professionals and capture the fun along the way. I recommend it if you’re travelling or away with friends, partners etc.

    Excellent rafting trip on Vjosa

    Melanie_V, Jun 2024
    Great experience with great team of staff ensuring safety & fun. Highly recommend. Great tea & fruit stop on route. Vjosa is beautiful & rafting fun. Excellent photos provided for free after room via link. Only negative was in nearly 4hr experience only 1.5hrs rafting/out on water (think possibly as large group also there which took long time to get ready etc before so 1.5hr pre-time getting ready etc despite taking is 5min for equipment etc). Still recommend though.

    What an incredible experience! Thank you so much!!

    Irma and her team are absolutely amazing! So many information, instructions, as well as incredible photos. I highly recommend this tour. It really ess the highlight of our Albania tour. A huge thank you Irma for looking after us and for your incredible passion, love and character!

    Unforgetable adventure ride on wild river Vjosa!

    Oliver_G, May 2024
    We had so much fun with Vjosa Explorer Rafting. Irma is extremely passionted and motivated the group (though it was not necessary) as we were eager to explore Vjosa but they care about every single detail, safety first. We received proper tools, clothes, instructions etc. Also, they served some fruits and cookies during the trip, water was also provided. We got also proper explanation about the river and its newly established National Park. For me it was an unforgetable experience as I wanted to explore and feel the last wild river in Europe! I hope it stays that way, a "homage" to river Vjosa!

    Highly recommended in the Vjosa valley

    Nice trip on the river, enthusiastic owner who gives good explanations. Beautiful views along the way, possible for swimming and if you want to jump off the rocks. On the way a cup of herbal tea and on return a nice cup of tea with local fruit waited. Only downside was that the guide spoke limited English. But his enthusiasm and taking the many pictures made everything right.
