Shkoder – Shala River – Shkoder

About Tour Package

Discover one of Albania’s most breathtaking natural destinations with this unforgettable day tour from Shkodra to the hidden paradise of the Albanian Alps – the stunning Shala River.

The journey begins in Shkodra and continues toward the spectacular Komani Lake, where you’ll embark on a scenic boat ride through dramatic mountain landscapes and crystal-clear waters. Often compared to Scandinavian fjords, this boat trip is an experience on its own.

Upon arrival at Shala River, known as the “Thailand of Albania,” you’ll be welcomed by turquoise waters, towering cliffs, and untouched nature. Here, you can relax by the river, swim in refreshing waters, enjoy traditional local food, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.

After a day filled with stunning views and unique experiences, the tour returns by boat and continues back to Shkodra.

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking for a short yet unforgettable escape.
