“We had fun!! The water level is low at the moment and this created an increased workload for the amazing team of blokes who were guiding our group. Don’t expect waterfalls, but be prepared for a wonderful experience through a beautiful canyon. There are gorgeous swimming spots and the water temperature was lovely the day we were there. Thank you again to the brilliant team of blokes who ensured that everyone had a wonderful fun filled experience.”

3.Berat Tour Osumi Canyons Exploration Lunch Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 212 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $47

Travel from Berat to Osumi Canyon for nearly three hours of guided walking, swimming, and optional rock jumps. Your guide supplies neoprene gear, a life jacket, helmet, and water shoes, followed by an Albanian lunch and brief stops at Bogovë and nearby legends.

“Positive points: the nature and canyoning experience is really worth. The tour is well organized and the guide Henry was really friendly. Points to improve: the equipment provided needs to be improved. This is particularly important for the old, damaged and dirty water shoes provided. And the water “tshirt” is useless as the water gets in and stays in, should be replaced with upper or full wetsuit. Asides from the equipment, the description is not correct. This tour ONLY includes the canyon and not all the other things mentioned. Please adjust description. Comparing to other competitors which combine this tour with Bogova waterfall, I consider this tour too expensive.”

“Awesome experience with our guide guide Genti! The pick up location was a 3 min walk from our hotel in the center of old town berat which made it easy to find. It was just my husband and I on the tour due to it being non-busy season but none the less, the tour itself was wonderful! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the environment and Albanian history, super friendly and made our experience in Albania feel more like home. The spot with the hole in the floor with the story of the bride and walking alongside the bottom of the canyon were my favorite parts of the trip. We…”

“It's been an amazing day. Being able to cross Ossum Canyon in canyoning is not to be missed. The environment is beautiful. It starts with a jump in the water and it’s gone. Our guide Enea was very kind, professional and knew how to adapt to the level of each (we were 6), with his bag of 40 kg of rope and water bottles on his back! Descending from a cliff or sliding into a waterfall, a first for us, is exhilarating! Sporty and well secured. A free sandwich on arrival was welcome! Our guide picked us up from the hotel and took us back. In short, perfect, I recommend!Auto-translated”
