Ultimate Albania Adventure: 8 Days of Wild Trails, Wild Rivers & Wild Beauty
Welcome to Albania — where rugged mountains crash into turquoise seas, where ancient villages cling to cliffs, and where Europe’s last wild river still roars freely.
This is the multi-adventure journey for travellers who want to push, explore and feel alive.
Day 1 — Into the Heart of Albania: Tirana → Berat
Kick off your adventure the moment you land. Your guide meets you at the airport and you’re off to Berat, the legendary “City of a Thousand Windows.”
Take a warm-up walk through its cobblestone alleys, climb to the castle for sunset views, and enjoy your first Albanian feast at Castle Park Hotel — your adventure base for the next two nights.
Day 2 — E-Bikes, Mountain Villages & Wild Vineyards
Strap on your helmet — today it’s all about motion.
Cycle with e-bikes through rolling hills, vineyards and fig orchards toward the village of Roshnik. Leave the bikes behind and hike to Bogdan for sweeping views over Albania’s untamed countryside.
Recharge with a farm-to-table lunch and local wine tasting, then head back to Berat for a free evening — perfect for exploring its lively old town.
Day 3 — Alpine Trekking in Llogara National Park
Trade the lowlands for mountain air and high trails.
Hike through Llogara’s dramatic ridgelines where pines twist in the wind and the Ionian Sea glitters far below. This is one of Albania’s most iconic trekking zones — wild, fresh, unforgettable.
Unwind at your mountain lodge with a sauna, Turkish bath or indoor pool.
Day 4 — Down to the Riviera: Clifftop Trails to Qeparo
Start the morning on mountain paths, end it with your feet in the sea.
Hike from Kudhes to Upper Qeparo, a stone village frozen in time. After a local lunch, head down to your beachfront hotel.
Swim, SUP, sunbathe, or simply breathe in the fresh seaside air. The Riviera is your playground for the next two days.
Day 5 — Kayak the Riviera & Conquer Porto Palermo Castle
Grab your paddle — today you explore the coast from the water.
Kayak along cliffs and hidden coves to the striking Porto Palermo Castle, one of the most dramatic fortresses on the Ionian Sea.
After lunch, spend the afternoon chasing secret beaches or join an optional boat trip to explore further along the coastline.
Day 6 — Nivica Canyon, Wild Waterfalls & Kayaking the Vjosa
Adventure mode ON.
Start the day at Nivica Canyon, a raw and remote gorge often compared to a smaller Albanian “Grand Canyon.” Hike to the multi-tiered Peshtures Waterfall and (if you’re brave) cool off beneath its icy cascades.
Continue to the mighty Vjosa River, where you’ll kayak through Kelcyra Gorge — towering cliffs, caves and crystal water guaranteed.
Sleep under the stars at a riverside glamping camp.
Day 7 — Epic E-Bike Ride & Thermal Springs
Hop on your e-bike for one of the most scenic rides of the trip.
Follow the Vjosa Valley through vineyards, stone bridges and open landscapes until you reach the steaming Bënja thermal springs. Soak in warm mineral pools framed by mountains.
Cycle back to Përmet for a hands-on cooking class with a local family — the perfect mix of adrenaline and authentic culture.
Day 8 — Raft the Last Wild River in Europe
Time for the grand finale.
Raft the Vjosa — Europe’s last un-dammed river — plunging through turquoise channels and playful Class II–III rapids.
Feel the power of a river still in its natural state.
After lunch, return to Tirana and celebrate your final night in the buzzing Blloku district.
Day 9 — Farewell, Adventurers
Enjoy a relaxed morning in Tirana before your transfer to the airport.
Adventure completed — memories guaranteed.
