Christine and I had a wonderful time with our guide Luca and the rest of our fellow paddlers . Luca was a fantastic guide , very helpful and really well informed . He told me to lead from the front as he could tell from my power that I was the man to head the expedition. A full 3hrs tour and worth every penny. Thanks to everybody for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! Best wishes all from Ricardo and Christina 👏👏

Fantastic white rafting experience on the River Vjosa! Start to finish we were in very safe hands with Lukas who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the river and its conditions. Lukas quickly got us working as a team as we navigated exhilarating stretches of rapids. In between there were nice stretches of calm water and we had plenty of time to experience the beauty of the river and the mountains. Lukas was a great host; as well as keeping everyone safe he had lots of stories and we were smiling and laughing all the way. This was a highlight of our trip to Albania, we were all still buzzing hours later! Thanks Lukas and team for a wonderful experience. Very highly recommended!

Had an amazing time rafting here! The guides were super friendly(especially Luka), fun, and made everyone feel safe and hyped up. The river route was the perfect mix of excitement and chill — great for both beginners and thrill seekers. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Definitely a must-do experience if you’re looking for adventure and good vibes! 💦💪

Such a great day with Rico and team, great fun, soooo much information and local knowledge from Rico, thank you for such a great time. We would highly recommend this company to go with. Rico was full of love for white water rafting and being a local he knew the area inside out so we all felt in safe hands. Rico suggested the thermal springs afterwards which was a real treat, well worth a visit!

We had Luka as our guide for the water rafting and it was just amazing! The tour was super fun, exciting, and such a great experience. Luka does his job really well – he’s funny, creates a great atmosphere, and at the same time makes sure you feel safe. You can tell he’s truly passionate about what he does. An unforgettable day – thank you, Luka! 🙌
