Day 1
From Shkoder to Komani Lake & Shala River than to Valbona
Every Monday and Thursday, we depart from Shkodra at 6:45 am, where our friendly team will meet you in front of the Rozafa Hotel. After boarding our comfortable van, we’ll set off on a scenic 1.5-hour drive through stunning landscapes toward Komani. (Alternatively, you can join us from Tirana with a 5:30 am departure for an additional 12€/person).
Upon arrival in Komani, we'll take a short break for coffee and introductions with our guide and fellow travelers before boarding a charming boat for a 75-minute cruise across the serene waters of Komani Lake. We’ll then make our way to the beautiful Shala River, often called "Albania's Thailand" due to its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking surroundings. Here, you can relax on the beach or take a swim in the vibrant turquoise waters. For those looking for extra thrills, we offer kayaking (10€/p.p) and ziplining (10€/p.p). We’ll finish this segment with a delicious traditional lunch.
Around 3:00 pm, we’ll board the boat again for a journey to Fierza, where a private car will be waiting to transport us through the picturesque town of Bajram Curri, with stunning views of the Valbona River. Along the way, we’ll stop to visit Xhema’s tranquil lake and the historic Water Millstone. As evening approaches, we’ll arrive at our welcoming guesthouse, where a hearty dinner of local, homemade specialties will conclude this memorable day.
Wake up to stunning panoramic views and enjoy a traditional breakfast to kickstart an incredible day of exploration. A private car will be waiting to take us to the starting point of our scenic trek (car cost included). Along the way, two well-placed rest stops offer a chance to pause, grab a drink (not included), and take in the awe-inspiring vistas of the Dinaric Alps. Words can hardly capture the beauty of the hike—it’s something you’ll have to experience for yourself.
Upon reaching Theth, we’ll hop into a private car for a short transfer to Nderlysaj, where we’ll explore the enchanting natural cave bathtubs and the striking Blue Eye—a vibrant natural spring with waters of mesmerizing color. After soaking in the beauty of this hidden gem, we’ll return to Nderlysaj, where our car will take us back to the guesthouse. There, you can relax in your private room before enjoying a delicious communal dinner with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, all included.

"Amazing!"
I had an incredible experience with Info Point Albania! The tours were fantastic – I did the Berat Day Trip and Albanian Riviera Beach Tour, and both were beyond expectations. The guides were friendly, informative, and really brought the destinations to life.
The booking process was smooth, and everything was well organized. I felt like I got a real insider’s view of Albania without any stress. Great value, amazing service, and unforgettable memories. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!

CEOApple"A Dream Come True!"
Info Point Albania gave me a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I booked my tour, I felt like I was in good hands. The Albanian Alps Trek was out of this world – the views, the peacefulness, the hidden gems we discovered along the way – I wouldn’t have seen anything like that on my own.
What really set them apart, though, was the guide. Arben didn’t just show us the sights; he shared the heart and soul of Albania, weaving personal stories and local legends into every stop. You could feel his passion for his country.
