Pass By: Choose Balkans - Albania Tour Operator, Rruga Reshit ร‡ollaku, Tirana, Albania
Our journey towards Komani Lake begins early in the morning at 05:00 am. Our tour guide will come and pick you up at your hotel in Tirana.

Stop At: Vau i Dejes, Vau i Dejes, Shkoder, Shkoder County
As we take the turn from the main road to Vau i Dejรซs the area becomes more rural with fewer cars but more wild nature and amazing landscapes.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Komani Lake, Koman Albania
At 9:00, we get on a local boat (this destination is only reachable by boat) that will take us through Komani Lake. It is considered by many as an exotic experience combined with the unmatched hospitality of the locals. We arrive at a rural village at about 10:30 (somewhere in middle of the Lake). After settling ourselves in this small village, we will explore the homestay and learn more about local life. At around 12:30, we will have a chance to enjoy a delicious traditional lunch on all of the days of the tour. Here is where we begin our kayaking exploration of the area along the lake.
Duration: 4 minutes

Day 2: Rural Village โ€“ Valbona Valley

The trekking takes about 3 to 4 hours on the way up and about 3 on the way back to Valbona Valley. Maja e Rosit offers a spectacular view of Valbona Valley and the Accursed Mountains.

Day 4: Valbona โ€“ Valbona Pass - Theth

Another hiking tour of 3 to 4 hours (one way) will bring us to the next natural wonder, the so-called โ€œBlue Eye of Thethโ€. The Blue Eye was formed by the erosion of the water from the melting snow of the Albanian Alps. You will not be able to take your eyes off this stunning scene of nature with its bright blue and green colours. Also, fun fact, the temperature of the Blue Eye is just around 5 degrees Celsius. Do you dare to dive in the blue but very cold water?

Duration: 4 hours

Pass By: Shkoder, Shkoder, Shkoder County
Our next adventure is a bumpy ride, with local transport, to Qafa e Thores on a steep hillside reaching a height of 1700m above sea level.
