Albania · KOMANI LAKE FERRY TRIPS
The ferry up the drowned Drin gorge is a working boat, not an excursion, which is most of the appeal. These 11 differ on whether they continue into the Shala river, where they pick you up, and how early the minibus leaves Tirana.

Hike Albania’s Theth and Valbona, cross the Valbona Pass, and cruise Koman Lake on a guided four-day mountain adventure.
“The trip with Ervin was great! We had a very nice time. Some communications issues, due to intermediate English, but that was totally fine. For others I would say that the food in the guesthouses is traditional, so you will eat the same everyday (not very vegetarian friendly). Also it was not timed super well for lunch in some parts of the trip, so I would recommend to bring some snacks that you can eat throughout the trip. I would say you need to be an intermediate/experienced hiker for the trip. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Ervin as a guide!”

“We had an absolutely amazing time with Choose Balkans. Brikena booked everything for us only the week before and even changed the itinerary to suit us better. We had constant communication with Brikena who ensured everything ran smoothly with us getting on different buses which meant we didn’t have to worry. Both guesthouses we stayed in were wonderful, each family was so kind and hospitable and the dinners were so huge you would never go hungry! The scenery was so beautiful too. I’d definitely book again if back in Albania!”
