Shala River is unmissable! - This trip was the highlight of my holiday. It’s very well organised, you receive WhatsApp messages the day before agreeing a time and location for your pick up. The mini coach for 30 people arrived on time and was clean and cool. Our guide, Armand, was very knowledgable and pointed out landmarks along the way. The boat ride to the shala river was gorgeous and when we arrived we had time to explore the area before meeting again for an optional lunch. Armand recommended a place for lunch, the local fish was delicious and came with traditional sides. Shala river is beautiful and well worth a visit, the river is fresh and clear and there are lots of places to relax as well as kayaking or exploring the area. I recommend you bring plenty of water and snacks as there was a lot of traffic on the way back. I only wish there was an option to stay longer at shala river, or even overnight!

amazing!! - This trip was one of the best! The boat ride on Koman Lake was like something out of a postcard. Shala River, known as the "Thailand of Albania," was incredible with the water perfect for a swim. The people there were super friendly and the food also delicious. The guide made it so much fun and enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. If you love nature and want a peaceful getaway, you need to check this place out!

Anticlimax with a nice edge - The communication about pickup was good. The drive there took a long time, but the view was very nice. With a good bus driver into the mountains shows a different side of Albania. The boat trip also takes quite a long time, but with very nice views. Since we are in the middle of the summer season, the boat was packed, which made it slightly uncomfortable. Eventually arrived it felt a bit like an anticlimax. It was very busy on the beach. Everything is relatively expensive and you even have to pay for the toilet. There are many wasps, so you can not enjoy your drink properly on your paid beach bed. Also a tip: bring water shoes! It is a stone beach and the stones are sharp. We are glad we have been there because of the beautiful nature, but for the beach experience you certainly do not have to go there.
