Key Information
Day 1
To Berat – the 'City of a Thousand Windows'
Driving
Arrive in Tirana and meet your guide for a scenic drive to the historic town of Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you travel, take in Albania’s rolling hills, lush valleys, and charming villages. In Berat, you'll have time for a short walk around the ancient Berat Castle, Byzantine churches and Ottoman-era remnants, and a wander through the picturesque Mangalem and Gorica districts with their white-washed Ottoman houses. As the sun sets, enjoy a traditional Albanian dinner at the Castle Park Hotel, your home for the next two nights, where you’ll savour local dishes and get to know your fellow travellers.
Day 2
Cycling and wine tasting in Roshnik
E-bike
Hiking
After a hearty breakfast, hop on electric bikes for a short ride to Roshnik, a charming village at the foot of the sacred Mount Tomorr which is renowned for its exceptional culinary traditions. Pedal at a gentle pace through rolling hills, lush vineyards, olive groves and fig orchards, soaking up the serene beauty of Albania’s countryside. Upon reaching the village centre, leave your bikes behind and embark on a short but picturesque hike to the village of Bogdan, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The trail then leads to a delicious lunch at Alpeta Winery, featuring traditional dishes crafted from the region’s finest local produce. You'll also enjoy a wine-tasting session, where you’ll savour exquisite local wines made from indigenous grape varieties that have been cultivated in the area for generations. In the afternoon, you’ll transfer back to Berat, where you can enjoy some free time exploring the lovely historic centre. Wander through its cobblestone streets, or relax at one of the many lively cafés or bars filled with both locals and travellers. Dinner is not included tonight, giving you the option to dine at the hotel or stay in town for a taste of the local cuisine.
Day 3
Hiking the heights of Llogara National Park
Hiking
Driving
Today, leave Berat behind and journey into the breathtaking landscapes of Llogara National Park, a dramatic mountainous region perched high above the Albanian Riviera. Set off on a scenic hike through alpine forests and rolling meadows, with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea, the peaks of Qorre and Cika, and the Gulf of Vlore. The crisp mountain air and untouched wilderness make this an unforgettable trekking experience. Tonight, settle into Te Dreri, a cosy mountain retreat tucked among pine forests at over 1000m above sea level. This rustic yet inviting lodge includes breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere – the perfect setting to unwind after a day on the trails. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure, with the option to relax in the indoor pool, sauna, or Turkish bath, soothing tired muscles before another day of adventure.
Day 4
From the mountains to the coastal gem of Qeparo
Hiking
After breakfast, leave the mountains behind and head towards the stunning Albanian Riviera, where rugged cliffs meet the sparkling Ionian Sea. Your day begins with a short but scenic hike from the village of Kudhes, passing through olive groves and ancient paths leading to the hilltop village of Upper Qeparo. Here, you’ll explore the narrow stone streets of this peaceful village, where time seems to have stood still. After some free time to soak in the tranquil atmosphere, enjoy a traditional lunch featuring fresh fish and local homemade specialities. Next, make your way down to the coast to check in to your seafront hotel, where you'll stay for the next two nights. Once settled in, perhaps take a dip in the crystal-clear Ionian waters, bask in the sun, or try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) along the shoreline. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure. Dinner is not included tonight, but there are plenty of local restaurants to choose from.
Day 5
Kayak, swim and explore Porto Palermo castle
Kayaking
After a hearty breakfast, start your day with a kayaking trip to Porto Palermo Castle. As you paddle along the breathtaking coastline, enjoy the unbelievably turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs. The 19th-century castle, once a defensive outpost for Ali Pasha Tepelena, is an architectural gem that blends Ottoman and Venetian styles, all set amid lush greenery making it one of the most picturesque and popular attractions in the region. After exploring the castle, tuck into a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll sample traditional Albanian dishes, all while enjoying wonderful views. Back in Qeparo, unwind with some time at the beach (or you can choose to take an optional boat tour). This is a great chance to discover more hidden beaches, soak up the sun, and further explore the stunning Ionian coastline before your journey continues inland tomorrow.
Day 6
The wild beauty of Nivica Canyon and Vjosa River
Hiking
Kayaking
Driving
Rise early for one of the most unforgettable days of your journey as you head north to Nivica Canyon, Albania’s largest and most spectacular gorge. Often called the 'Grand Canyon of Albania' this hidden natural wonder features towering cliffs and crystal-clear streams. Start with a short hike along the canyon’s rim, taking in jaw-dropping views before reaching the multi-tiered Peshtures Waterfall, where you can cool off with a dip in the waters. Afterwards, continue to the nearby village of Peshtan for a traditional lunch featuring local specialities like byrek, slow-cooked lamb, and artisanal cheeses. In the afternoon, set off on an epic kayaking adventure through the Kelcyre Gorge along the Vjosa River – one of Europe’s last wild rivers. Along the way, visit the underground spring of the 'Uji i Zi' (Black Water) River, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and wildlife. Tonight, settle into your glamping site by the Vjosa River, where you’ll enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Albania’s untouched wilderness.
Day 7
Cycling, thermal springs and a cooking class
E-bike
Today, trade the thrill of kayaking for a relaxed and immersive experience, exploring the scenic landscapes around Permet on e-bikes before unwinding in the soothing waters of Benja's thermal springs. After a good breakfast at your glamping site, hop on your e-bike and cycle through the picturesque countryside, passing rolling vineyards, centuries-old stone bridges, and traditional villages seemingly untouched by modern life. Following the gentle flow of the Vjosa River, your ride leads to the renowned thermal springs at Benja, where you can soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters beneath the striking Kati Bridge, which dates back to the Ottoman-era. After your soak, continue cycling to the village of Qilarisht, where you’ll be welcomed into the home of Flora and her family for an authentic cooking experience. Learn to prepare traditional dishes like byrek or tave kosi (baked lamb with yoghurt sauce) using fresh, seasonal ingredients. This hands-on class offers a personal connection to Permet’s rich culinary traditions before you sit down to enjoy the meal together.
Day 8
Raft the Vjosa River and head for Tirana
Rafting
Driving
Today, take on a rafting adventure down the untamed Vjosa, Europe’s last free-flowing river. Stretching for 270km, the Vjosa winds through dramatic canyons, serene riverbanks, and untouched landscapes. Navigate its rushing waters and Class 2-3 rapids (depending on the season), striking the perfect balance between adrenaline and awe-inspiring scenery. After lunch, return to Albania’s lively capital of Tirana. With its vibrant streets, colourful buildings and buzzing atmosphere, you’ll have some free time to explore the city centre before coming together for an optional farewell dinner. Raise a glass and celebrate the end of your unforgettable adventure through Albania!
Day 9
Farewell, Albania!
Time permitting, enjoy a few more hours strolling through Tirana's colourful bazaars, parks or museums then head back to the airport in time for your flight home.

Transfers
On Day 1, you can choose to be picked up from either Tirana Airport or Tirana Rinas Bus Station if you’re already in town. If you’re flying in on the first day of the trip and wish to join the included group transfer, be sure to book a flight arriving no later than 13:00. Your host will confirm transfer details before your trip, but the group transfer to Berat is typically scheduled for early afternoon, once all morning flights have landed. If your flight arrives later, you can request a private transfer to Berat directly through your host (see Optional Extras for price details).
On Day 9, you’re free to book a flight departing at any time. However, please note that there is only one scheduled group transfer to the airport at around 09:30, with an expected drop-off at approximately 10:00 to accommodate flights departing from noon onwards. If your flight is significantly earlier or later, you can arrange your own transfer – either by booking a private journey with your host (see Optional Extras for details) or by taking the Rinas Express shuttle, which runs daily from 06:00 to 24:00, departing every hour. The shuttle takes about 30 minutes to reach the airport.
If you’d like to arrive earlier or extend your stay, your host can help arrange extra accommodation in Tirana – see the Optional Extras section for more details.
Travel options
There are frequent direct flights to Tirana from major airports across the UK and Europe. Travellers from the US or Canada can easily reach Tirana with connecting flights via Munich, Frankfurt, Zurich, or Amsterdam.

What is the food like?
Albanian cuisine is a delightful blend of hearty and wholesome dishes, featuring an abundance of locally sourced meats, vegetables, and seasonal ingredients. Popular dishes include tender turkey, lamb, or goat pershesh (a savoury meat stew), served alongside kulac, a traditional local bread. Another favourite is byrek, a savoury pie made with thin pastry and filled with meat and leeks, as well as freshly caught fish prepared in a Mediterranean style. Fish dishes are often seasoned with olive oil and white vinegar sourced from southern Albania, and many meals are complemented with wine from the region’s local vineyards. Throughout your trip, you’ll have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Albanian culinary traditions, enjoying a range of included meals. These include a farm-to-table lunch with wine tasting at a local winery, a cooking demonstration in a local home, and delicious picnic lunches. Most dinners have not been included in the trip cost, giving you the chance to choose your meal or restaurant based on your preferences and budget.
Vegetarians, vegans and other dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for, although options may be more limited – please just request this on your passenger info form.
What is the accommodation like?
Berat
You’ll spend the first two nights in Berat at Hotel Castle Park, a comfortable, locally run hotel nestled in a scenic woodland setting. Located about 1.5 kilometers from the town centre, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to Berat’s historic sites. The property features twin-share rooms, a spacious terrace, and an excellent restaurant serving a mix of Mediterranean and traditional Albanian cuisine.
Llogara National Park
You’ll spend one night at Te Dreri - Llogora Tourist Village, a cosy mountain retreat located within the National Park. Surrounded by alpine forests and with stunning mountain views, this locally run lodge offers twin-share rooms with seating areas and private bathrooms. The resort features an indoor pool, sauna, and Turkish bath, which can be used free of charge – perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking. There’s also an on-site restaurant and bar, serving delicious traditional Albanian cuisine. Additional facilities include a games room, mini golf, billiards, and table tennis, plus there's free WiFi in the lobby.
Queparo
You’ll spend two nights at Hotel Riviera Qeparo, a beachfront hotel offering stunning views of the Ionian Sea. Just steps from Qeparo Beach, this comfortable hotel provides twin-share rooms, each featuring a private balcony or terrace, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The hotel’s seafront location makes it an ideal spot to relax – enjoy the peaceful coastal setting, unwind on the hotel’s terrace and garden, or take a dip in the crystal-clear waters right on your doorstep.
Glamping in Permet
In Permet, you'll stay for two nights at a unique eco-glamping site located in a serene spot near the Vjosa River - the perfect launchpad for your adventures. Your group will stay in large safari tents, designed to keep cool in summer and warm in winter, which have 2-3 rooms in each plus a private bathroom and shower cabin. Rooms will be allocated on a twin-share basis, and have real beds with comfy mattresses and soft pillows. There is also a restaurant and bar on site where breakfast, meals and drinks are served.
Tirana
You’ll spend your final night in a centrally located hotel in Tirana. This is typically at Artistic Tirana Blloku, a charming 3-star hotel in the heart of the city’s vibrant Blloku district, within walking distance of Skanderbeg Square. Originally built in 1931, this boutique hotel blends historic charm with modern comforts. Rooms are twin-share and feature free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries. The hotel also includes a terrace, shared lounge, and an on-site bar.

This trip has been rated as Moderate
On this trip, you’ll explore some of Albania’s most stunning landscapes – from towering mountains and deep canyons, to pristine rivers and sun-drenched coastlines. Expect to be active for 3-5 hours most days, with a mix of both leisurely and more adventurous days featuring hiking, kayaking, rafting, and e-biking. No prior experience is needed for any of the activities – just a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to embrace the outdoors.
Day 2 features the longest hike, covering 15km over five hours, while the other treks are shorter and less demanding. You’ll traverse a variety of landscapes, from forest trails and rocky canyon paths to gentle paved tracks, with occasional ascents that will get your heart pumping. You’ll also enjoy two scenic e-bike rides, with battery-powered assistance making uphill sections and winding gravel paths easier to navigate.
For the sea kayaking, river paddling, and whitewater rafting, expert guides will provide full instruction, so it's fine if you've not done these activities before. However, it's essential that you're both able to swim and feel confident in the water.
While the adventure is designed to be fun and achievable, Albania’s summer heat – especially in coastal areas – can make physical activity feel more intense. If you don’t exercise regularly, consider incorporating some moderate activity in the weeks leading up to the trip to ensure you’re ready to make the most of this unforgettable experience.
What if i need to skip an activity?
You can always opt out of some activities should you prefer to take the trip at a slower pace. If you would like to skip an activity, just speak to your guide who can make alternative arrangements or recommendations for you.
What will I need to carry?
You'll need to have a larger bag suitable for all your belongings which will be transported for you, and then a small daypack to carry personal items and a water bottle each day.
Albania enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal destination for outdoor adventures from April to October. During this period, temperatures are generally mild to warm, with daytime highs ranging from 22-26°C in spring (April to late May) and autumn (September to October). These are perfect months for hiking, cycling, and exploring Albania’s stunning landscapes. In the summer months (June to August) temperatures can soar, especially in coastal areas like Qeparo and the valley around Permet, with highs often reaching 30°C or more. However, water-based activities like kayaking, rafting, and wild swimming are the perfect way to stay cool and energised, even if you are visiting during the hotter months. Although Albania enjoys abundant sunshine, occasional rain showers are possible at any time of the year, so it’s always a good idea to pack for all conditions.
We’re still waiting to collect any reviews from other travellers on this trip. However, all our hosts go through an extensive vetting process to ensure that your adventure is awesome.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 314kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000miles/1609km would be approx. 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person if there was 2 of you in it).
- A return economy class flight London - New York would be approx. 1,619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approx. 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.

Overall, weather conditions down by the coast should be pretty favourable in the months when this trip is scheduled to run, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures ranging from 18 to 26°C on average. However, as always, Mother Nature is unpredictable so the best you can do is to be prepared for anything and come equipped with sunscreen, a hat and waterproofs. Your host will be monitoring the weather conditions during the course of the trip and may suggest alternative, safer routes or activities should the weather get particularly bad or should the water conditions be unsuitable for the rafting and kayaking. The Llogara National Park sits on alpine heights and forms a weather divide between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas; as such, the park is prone to rapid weather changes and cooler temperatures.
Tap water in Albania is generally not safe to drink. You may find purified water in some of the accommodation which you can use to fill up each morning, so be sure to pack a reusable water bottle or two. To avoid plastic waste where filtered water is not available, we suggest bringing water purification tablets (or an alternative purification system) for extra safety.
This trip visits locations where daytime temperatures can be extremely high during the times of year when this trip operates. High humidity and limited access to shade can also be factors, and warm temperatures can continue into the nighttime, which additionally influence the body’s ability to cool down. Personal care should be taken to keep as cool as possible in the conditions, such as wearing appropriate clothing and proper hydration. Very high temperatures can impair an individual’s physical abilities to perform an activity that they may otherwise be able to do competently at cooler temperatures. People may experience symptoms associated with dehydration and Heat Stroke. Your guide(s) are trained to mitigate the risks associated with high temperatures, by carefully managing the intensity of the activity, and to provide the appropriate support response should someone feel ill during the trip. Should you experience health issues during your trip you should inform your guide immediately so the proper care can be provided.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.
