Albania Rafting Group
Berat, the city of a thousand windows, is more than just a UNESCO World Heritage Site — it’s a place where time seems to stand still, and where tradition and nature blend seamlessly. From ancient castles to serene river walks, here’s how to experience the best of Berat — and where to find the most breathtaking view of Mount Tomorr.
Back in 2021 we did a rafting tour of the Osumi River Canyon here in Albania. It was a lot of fun with some great scenery.
At this time of year the water levels are too low to do rafting, so instead they run guided trekking tours through the canyon. You don't need hiking boots though... you need a life jacket for this hike!
It was about an hour and a half drive to get to the departure point. Then, they get you all suited up with neoprene wetsuit pants, a helmet, and a life jacket.

Our adventure with the Albania Rafting Group began in the charming city of Berat, known for its stone houses and historic Ottoman architecture. As we left the city behind and started the journey toward Përmet, the road led us through some of Albania’s most breathtaking natural landscapes.
Did you catch the episode of Échappées Belles that aired on May 31, 2025, on TV5Monde? Titled “Albanie, la perle des Balkans”, the show features host Sophie Jovillard as she takes viewers on a vibrant journey through Albania, revealing why this Balkan gem is shining brighter than ever.
It was 8:30 a.m. when our adventure began, departing from the charming Castle Park Hotel in Berat. We were eager to explore the raw, untouched nature in the heart of Albania. With the Albania Rafting Group guiding our journey, we set off toward the spectacular Osumi Canyon—a place we'd only seen in photos.
