Travel from Tirana, Durres, Golem, or Shkoder in a small group with an English-speaking guide such as Kledis, Jeffry, Ardit, or Engjell. Expect mountain views, a moderate 90-minute Blue Eye walk, Theth’s historic tower, local food, and a short Shkoder stop.

“Our guide Dori was amazing! We have been backpacking around the balkans for the past two weeks and doing multiple day trips and Dori was the best guide that we have had so far. She is very knowledgeable about her history of Albania and had answers to all my questions. She is incredibly kind and I would highly recommend a tour with her. The drive is far and the car is a little small if you are on the taller side, but it was very worth it. The views in the Alps are beautiful and there is enough time to swim in the Blue Eye. I wish we had a…”

Travel from Shkoder into Albania’s Alps with local guide Marjan, stopping at Qafa Thores, Nderlysa, the Blue Eye, Grunasi Waterfall, Theth Church, and the Lock-in Tower. The small-group tour includes transport and guiding, but not lunch or the optional €20 zip-line.

“What an incredible day trip from Shkodër to Theth! We got to experience the Blue Eye and the beautiful Theth waterfall, and enjoyed a delicious lunch along the way. Our guide, Marjan, was truly awesome, such a welcoming host, excellent driver, clearly loved by everyone in Theth, and has the freshest fade in the Alps. He impressed us with his knowledge and heartfelt passion for Albania and its culture. The group we traveled with made the day even more special, such kind, friendly, and respectful people. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Theth in a meaningful and fun way with a fantastic guide and great company.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 11 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $76

Travel from Tirana into northern Albania with guides such as Henri, Nolan, Noli, or Mentor. Stop in Shkoder and Boge, walk through Theth to its church and Reconciliation Tower, then hike 2.5 kilometers to the Blue Eye for mountain air, clear water, and time to swim.

“As shown in the pictures, the view of mountains, waterfall was breathtaking. Henry, our tour guide was simply cooperative and answered all of our questions. He bought for all of us watermelon just because I mentioned about my craving having watermelon since 3 days. It’s a little bit exhausting for a day tour as involved 20 -30 (for waterfall) min and 50-1.15 min (for blue eye) trecks. All together the tour time is approx 14 hours and not 10 hours if advertised.”

“Had the most fantastic couple of days on this hiking trip with a great little group. Our guide Jozef was amazing, so much energy and humour, and the small group dynamic was lovely from the start. It’s an early morning pickup and a longish travel, but the scenery keeps you very occupied. We had great late lunch on arrival to the first guesthouse, and an afternoon walk for viewpoints in the valley. The huge advantage of going with the tour is how the logistics are all sorted and meals covered - only drinks not included. The climb from valbona to the top is moderately difficult, people of all ages taking…”

Travel from Tirana into northern Albania with a guide such as Bledi, Endri, or Shpetim. Cruise Komani Lake, hike Valbona Pass, sleep in mountain guesthouses, and explore Theth’s church, Grunas Waterfall, and Blue Eye. The hike is moderate but demanding, with transport options to shorten parts of the walk.

“The guide was amazing and had fantastic local knowledge. It was planned really well and the accommodation was great. The views were some of the most stunning that I’ve ever seen: high alpine meadows, towering peaks, ancient forest and wildlife aplenty. Bledi was our guide and he was simply fantastic, he was from the area and gave us so much local flavour and history (he also looked after us really well) 10/10 and well worth the money if you can afford it”

Stopped for coffee and lunch at some really lovely places and enjoyed some delicious food. We went swimming in some beautiful blue lagoons and stopped off at a waterfall. We even got to go zip lining! Theth is stunning and it’s so worth a visit up to the mountains. We met some wonderful people and learned so much about the Albanian way of life. It was truly a magical day from start to finish! We’d…”

“This trip was beyond my expectations. I was picked up at my place in Durrës. First we went to the "Albanian Alps", a national park in the north of the country. It was quite a ride, but the the views were just breathtaking. Whenever possible, we did not miss to stop and take pictures. At the first destination we hiked to the lake called "Blue Eye". We were surrounded by stunning nature, passed a waterfall, crossed a bridge and admired the blue lake. Then we went to our next destination which was an impressive, huge waterfall. It was another hike to get there. Finally we went to the lovely village…”
