“Amazing experience. ride was very bumpy but Armand and Tony did their utmost to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. arriving at Komani and Shala River, it was all worth it! Thanks guys for a lovely day and a trip around your beautiful country note: as turists we feel uneasy and uncomfortable seeing plastic and trash in the river. i hope there will be some initiative to clean and maintain this beautiful place.”

“We werden ‘s ochtends op tijd opgehaald met een busje door een vriendelijke chauffeur (enkel de ophaallocatie was niet heel duidelijk). De busrit verliep vlot, maar het laatste stukje was de weg in zeer slechte staat. De boottocht was heel mooi en fijn. Eens aangekomen, kregen we ongeveer 3 uur de tijd om rond te lopen. Je kan er op verschillende plekken iets eten en drinken. Ook kan je er zwemmen en kajakken (wel in heel koud water). In september zijn er niet al te veel toeristen dus dat was ook fijn. We waren om 18u weer terug in Shkodër. Echt een aanrader om te doen!”

“Unfortunately the trip did not live up to expectation. Starting off the day on a very small limited a/c bus journey for 2 hours to the lake. Once dropped off at the lake no information as to which ferry to board. Once on the ferry very over crowded little shade. No information as to which stop to get off. Once off the boat at the “guest house” there is a steep walk up to the house in the heat, NOT SUITABLE for people with limited mobility. At this point you’re given the option for kayaking, trekking or an additional boat trip for an added price of €10 per person, you…”
Pick a harbour, a spring or a mountain road.
