Overview

The tour begins at the Vjosa Albania Rafting Base in Gjirokastër, Albania, where participants receive all necessary rafting equipment, including wetsuits, thermal jackets, safety jackets, and helmets. After preparation and safety instructions, the group travels by air-conditioned minivan for about 35 minutes to the starting point on the Vjosa River. The rafting trip lasts between two and a half to three hours on a Class II river with some Class III rapids. Rafters will navigate waves up to four feet high and narrow passages that cause the raft to shake and water to splash over the sides. The Vjosa River flows freely for 270 kilometers, passing through canyons, braided river sections, islands, and oxbows. The tour includes a stop at the Benja Thermal Baths, located in the Langarica canyon near the forests and mountains of Dangelli and Shqeri. This area features caves, sulfur thermal springs, various trees, and aromatic bushes, with scenery that changes noticeably through the seasons. An optional kayaking activity on the Vjosa River is available. The full experience, including transportation, preparation, and rafting, lasts between three and four hours. Alcoholic drinks, gratuities, and lunch are not included. The rafting trip operates in all weather conditions, so participants should dress accordingly. The tour is operated by Albania Rafting Group (ARG).
