      Better Communication Needed to Set Traveler Expectations

      Shala_B, Oct 2025
      The boat ride and the river were beautiful. However, the ride to get to the boat was extremely long and bumpy in an over-crowded van. The road was being worked on for nearly the full length of the journey, making it even more bumpy and uncomfortable. The communication by the tour company was non-existent. We weren't provided any instruction or direction upon arrival. There was very little communication about the weather or places being closed due to it being the shoulder season at the destination. This could be a beautiful experience with a bit more communication provided by the tour company, so travelers know better what to expect.

      Refreshing Day

      Alexandra_A, Jul 2025
      What a fun-filled day, from the beauty of the lake to the refreshing river. Our driver was very safe on the twisting roads from Theth to the Lake. The river visit is very touristy, but then again that's what we are.

      A stunning unique location

      Tim_C, Jun 2025
      If you are in Shkoder this is a 'must do' trip. The destination is both stunning and unique in our extensive travel experience, a small piece of paradise away from it all. The journey is long but the reward is worth the effort. The guys work hard to get you there as soon as possible and support you along the way. The Komani Lake, the Dam and Shala River are a photographers dream. Don't miss it . Tc

      A wonderful daytrip in the Alps

      aurel_H, Apr 2025
      An amazing day spent in the Albanian Alps. The guide was very kind and professional. The transport was comfortable and the views on the way to Thethi were breathtaking.

      Great destination, exhausting transport

      Marco_T, Aug 2025
      In advance, scenically, it was the most beautiful part of Albania. The Shala River is truly fantastic. The excursion itself generally has no guide, is therefore rather mediocre to poorly organized. The driver(s) to whom you are handed over do not speak a shred of English and generally cannot help with questions at all. The way to the ferry port via a mogul/gravel track, adventurous. Arrived at the ferry port, chaos. You get, among hundreds of other people, transported to some free boat and off you go. Another hour by boat to the destination, this way and also at the destination, as I said beautifully, worthwhile in itself. Once there, prices prevail as in Central Europe for food, drink and sunbeds. The quality of everything, underground. On the spot you have 4 hours before the chaos and the 3 hours return trip start again. Exhausting (and I am 37 years old). Conclusion: Scenic, on the way and on site, beautiful. Organization mediocre. Think carefully if you want to take a total of 6 hours of transport to this place for 4 hours, with tens of other people. Mass tourism has arrived here, which can also be seen in the amount of waste generated.
