★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 154 reviews · 1 day · from $29Our pick

Fly above the Erzen River and green hills on Albania’s first zipline, a short drive from Tirana. English-speaking guides, including Luli, explain each step. The flight lasts about two minutes, with optional drone footage, free return transport to your car, and a flight certificate.

“Really good fun! The place is in the middle of nowhere but we got a taxi and it was easy to find. The Zipline itself is really fun - very fast and great views, so we’re very glad we did it. And then the guys at the end helped us with booking a taxi back to Tirana afterwards :) Luli in particular was a sweetheart - he chatted with us after sorting the taxi, telling us about himself & the zipline itself, and being so sweet and lovely. A really great experience overall”

“Effettivamente non è proprio economico, considerando che la zipline dura giusti un paio di minuti. Vale comunque la pena l'esperienza; il paesaggio è favoloso. Attenzione alle temperature se scegliete di andare anche al castello: c'è una bella salita da fare e io ho sofferto i 42 gradi che c'erano nella giornata. Il taxi di ritorno era già pronto ad aspettarci per il rientro, non abbiamo avuto attese. L'organizzazione ha funzionato molto bene: eravamo in continuo contatto con la sede, che monitorata i nostri spostamenti. Le indicazioni sulla sicurezza menzionate nella descrizione non sono mai state fornite dal personale dello zipline, che si è limitato a far indossare l'imbracatura. Mi è…”

He spoke very good English and willingly answered all our questions not only about the specific region, but about Albania in general. It was clear that he is proud of his country and proud to be able to introduce it to enthusiasts from all over the world. Based on this trip, we decided to visit this beautiful country at least once more. We highly recommend everyone to take part in a trip with Ramo.”

Og vores guide gav os en rigtig grundig instruktion i hvordan vi skulle køre den, og fik os til at føle os trygge i det. Han gav os massere af tid til at stoppe og tage billeder, og tog selv en masse også, som blev sendt til os. Herefter blev vi kørt ned til zipline, som ligger meget tæt på. Og det var også mega fedt!
