Fantastic day trip well organised with great bus transfer. Bit of a long ride but we'll worth it once on the river and lake . Only criticism I would have is boat seats were very uncomfortable [ well the ones we had were ] take a towel or some sort of cushioning would be my suggestion. All in all Fantastic trip and our guy was informative and funny.
Very nice excursion. It was long but still very enjoyable.
Thanks 🙂
It was a nice experience but the setup of the trip is not the best. It's unavoidable, but the bus journey out to the boat is 2hr+ and then the boat ride (which is admittedly nice and fun) is another 1hr 15min+. The end point of Shala river was beautiful (slightly expensive - the restaurans often over-charge by €3 or so if not paying in LEK) but definitely worth seeing. We did unfortunately only get about 3.25 hours there since it took so long to travel out there. Would still recommend, but it is a long day (easily 10hrs+) to spend about 3hrs at the actual river. Guides were nice and fun though, and it's not a bad price.
Thank you very much for your detailed review and for recommending our tour. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the boat ride, the beauty of the Shala River, and the friendliness of our team. The journey to Shala River is indeed long, as it is one of the most remote and untouched destinations in Albania. The transfer by bus and the ferry ride across Lake Koman are both essential parts of the experience and are included so visitors can enjoy the spectacular scenery along the way. Regarding the time at Shala River, the schedule is determined by the ferry timetable, which all operators must follow. We understand that many guests would like to spend more time there, and we appreciate your feedback. We’re also sorry to hear about your experience with restaurant pricing. The restaurants at Shala River are independently operated, so we unfortunately cannot control their prices. We always recommend paying in Albanian Lek when possible to avoid unfavorable exchange rates. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Northern Albania in the future!
It was a very hot day and unfortunately the coaches air con was below par which made the 4 hours in total uncomfortable. On arrival there is a 400 m walk in a tunnel to the boats. The scenic boat trip lasted 1.5 hours each way. At Shala River there were plenty of restaurants and loungers and quite a few were paddling. A fun trip for youngsters.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the boat trip and the beautiful scenery of Shala River. We would like to mention that the issue with the air conditioning was caused by an unexpected technical problem during the journey. The matter has since been addressed, and everything is now working properly. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again on one of our tours in the future.
The trip was well organized and the scenery was beautiful. Once we got to Shala River it felt tacky with so many boats and blaring music coming from several restaurants. We paid 10 Euro for a couple of sun-beds and an umbrella to relax under. We swam in the incredibly clear water but be warned it is coming straight from the mountains and it is freezing!
The trip from Shkoder to Lake Koman and Shala River was incredible! We had a 2 hour bus ride to the ferry pickup location, and we went on some very precarious roads. The driver was experienced and got us there quickly. Once on the ferry, our guide/captain was extremely friendly! He told us some Albanian history, and his own history growing up in a village on Lake Koman. He also stopped the boat in some scenic locations for us all to get some pictures. At the Shala River there were a bunch of restaurants, a hiking trail, and places to swim. We had about 3 hours to explore once we got there. Overall would give this trip a 10/10, definitely the best thing we did on our trip to Albania!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience at Lake Koman and Shala River. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the journey, the beautiful scenery, and the stories shared by our captain about Albanian history and local life. We’re especially happy that you had enough time to explore, swim, and enjoy the beauty of Shala River. Thank you for choosing us and for recommending the experience — we hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Albania! 😊
Such a great day out. Easy to find the pick up point. Amazing guides and drivers. Plenty of time at the river. Food was very reasonably priced. The views are incredible. Really recommend.
Nice trip, great scenery, nice crew
Question Are there enough opportunities to go to the bathroom? Can we book a full-day tour between 24 and 27 April?
Ja, jullie kunnen zeker een dagtour boeken tussen 24 en 27 april 😊 De boottocht duurt ongeveer 1 uur, dus meestal is er geen behoefte aan een toilet tijdens de vaart. Bij de haven waar we vertrekken zijn er toiletten beschikbaar, en ook bij aankomst aan de Shala River zijn er restaurants met faciliteiten. Laat ons gerust weten als jullie nog vragen hebben!
Quite a good experience. Message received the day before confirming our attendance, with the exact pick up location and the bus registration (this changed the day of but one of the drivers came to speak to us when we arrived and put us on the correct mini bus). The journey is very bumpy but good driving. Arrived and location and placed on a boat, another group was placed on the same boat before this left. No further communication at all. On arrival at the location the other tour group were told to be back at the boat for 2pm but we were not given any information - we arrived back for 2pm which was the correct time for us as well. The location is lovely, not too busy and the trip caused no real issues. On arrival back at the starting point of the boat we were met by the driver who collected us and ushered us to a different bus but again this was no problem. Good tour in all
