In terms of safety, this is the only rafting agency we recommend in Albania. Descents in the superb Osum valley.
As its name suggests, this tourist agency specializes in rafting, particularly in the superb Osum Gorge. Founded by the owners of Berat's excellent Castle Park hotel-restaurant, it is by far the best agency in Albania in this field (safety, guide training, etc.). It also offers descents of the Vjosa and Black Drin rivers, as well as canyoning, hiking, climbing, etc. Around Berat, excursions by electric bike, 4 x 4 or donkey on Mount Tomorr are available.

Members' reviews on ALBANIA RAFTING

The rafting offer very nice views of the canyon, but was missing the rafting fun factor as the river was very very relaxed …
The food and drink after the rafting was really disappointing: some cheese , olives, bread and lamb , all out of a plastic box , and some vegetables still in the plastic shopping bag. The drink was just water. definitely not worth 18€!
If you want to go and see the canyon , I recommend to drive to meeting point yourself and skip the “lunch”.
The staff were all very friendly.
What we liked,
- Very kind and helpful crew (tour guide who participated in the rafting championship, helper drivers, etc.)
- Stunning views and moments throughout the trip.
- The tour guide offers to take pictures throughout the trip for FREE and risk-free. You don't have to carry your phone with you :D
- A very nice activity through which you talk with other people.
- SPOILER ALERT!! - The tour guide offered us Raki (Locally brewed fruit alcohol) and coffee near a waterfall.
- The mini-bus driver could be gentle with his steering on the curvy roads as it can be nasty. We almost felt like puking throughout our trip. I recommend taking some candy to keep your stomach happy or informing the driver to go easy (as we did).
What could be improved for the next time,
- Not everyone speaks English which could be challenging for a tour package in a UNESCO-recognized town.
- The bathrooms at the rafting center could be improved by providing enough toilet supplies like toilet paper, liquid soap, regular cleaning, etc.
- Essential information like pickup location, things to carry with us, cautions, etc. are not provided as I expected. But, the info was provided after I asked.
Overall, a wonderful trip that we loved during our trip to Berat! We will remember it for a long time
The trip is beautiful!
The best guides????????!
