About this tour
Take on the Vjosa — one of the last wild rivers in Europe — on an exhilarating rafting adventure through the Këlcyrë Gorge. Towering limestone cliffs rise on both sides as your raft navigates Class II-III rapids, with calm stretches in between where you can soak in the untouched scenery that makes this river truly unique.
No prior experience is needed. Your certified guide provides a full safety briefing and all professional equipment before you hit the water. You'll learn basic paddle techniques on a calm section of the river before heading into the rapids — so first-timers and experienced rafters alike can enjoy the ride.
Between the adrenaline, you'll float through stretches of crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by wilderness that feels completely untouched. Your guide shares the story of the Vjosa's protected status as a Wild River National Park — the first of its kind in Europe — and why this river matters far beyond Këlcyrë.
The trip wraps up at a riverside pull-out point where you can relax, dry off, and take in the valley views before heading back.
Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, and shoes that can get wet. We handle the rest.
