From Tirana: ATV/Quadbike Tour at Lake Bovilla

Not easy to locate the quad bike meeting point. Needs to put a sign on the wall outside the property. We only found the bikes because they were parked up on the front and guessed this was our quad bike tour. The quad bike ride is basically up a road past quarry areas with lots of lorry's not very picturesque. However once you make it to the top of the lake the views are stunning and the outlook is amazing so make the quad ride up and back worth while. Over priced for what is offered.

Bad rating. 1. We paid 26O euros for 4 people. 65 pp. There is nowhere in the ad that you have to go on one Quad with two people. More people from the group have complained about this to the tour leader. But this one refers to the ad. That just reeks of a scam. If you only want to ride a Quad you have to pay 85.00 euros (says the tour leader) 2. It says the location is 7 km from Tirana. That might be the case (though I doubt it). We spent an hour in the taxi f/v. Cost per trip 18 euros. So allow at least one hour of travel time. 3. Hairnet or potion are not given (it says in the ad) 4. From the starting point to the lake is about 7 km. You drive on a very bad B-road that is also used by ordinary local traffic. I.e. buses, trucks from the quarry, passenger cars, etc. Nice off road driving is not included. You either have to lead or overtake trucks. 5. Nature is beautiful but you are certainly not alone. Price/quality ratio is disproportionate. Far too expensive. Rene

We were told on the spot that we got two quads for four people, while this is nowhere to be found in the ad on tripadvisor. Fellow travelers were also angry, because it was not clearly indicated and you paid enough for this activity. Two stars, because I had never ridden a quad bike myself and it was very scary. So on the way back I walked down the mountain. The guide asked if I wanted a taxi to come and pick me up. This was a nice option.

We had an incredible ATV trip around Bovilla and couldn’t recommend it more. Our guide was fantastic super friendly, professional, and spoke both English and Albanian perfectly, which made everything easy and comfortable from the start. The views around Bovilla were absolutely stunning and the whole experience felt safe, fun, and well organized. What really stood out was how patient and thoughtful our guide was. My mom and uncle were a bit slower on the ride, and he never rushed us once he made sure everyone stayed together and enjoyed the trip at their own pace. Overall, an unforgettable experience and easily one of the highlights of our time in Albania. If you’re thinking about doing an ATV tour around Bovilla, book it you won’t regret it!

What a wonderful experience, thanks in part to our fantastic guide Arjen. Recommended to see Albania this way! It was exciting at first but the ride is so beautiful that you are really happy to be upstairs to enjoy the view! Thnx Arjen for this experience 👍

The tour really excited us. The view, fun factor and photo stops were incredible. Our guide Ariel was super attentive and mindful as the route is a bit more challenging in some places. A clear recommendation!
