GIRLS TRIP TO ALBANIAAAA!!
Imagine 8 days of hiking through the breathtaking Albanian Alps, chasing waterfalls, swimming in crystal blue mermaid pools, cliff jumping, boat days down the Shala River (aka the Thailand of Europe), stargazing, taking way too many pics, and nights filled with dancing, giggling, and deep conversation. The kind of days you’ll randomly think about because they were so special.
This trip is for the girls who feel most alive outside. Who crave adventure, girlhood, and that feeling of being so present in a place that makes you forget everything else for a while.
This trip is truly going to be amazing, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you! We’ll be joined by our local hosts and guides, Erjon and Rob, who are so fun and know the area inside out. They genuinely go out of their way to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable, so your only job is to be present and enjoy it all.

You’ll arrive at Tirana International Airport and take your arranged transfer to Shkodra (about 1.5–2 hours). Once you get in, you’ll check into our cozy base, meet the girls, and settle in. If you arrive early, you can explore a little — grab gelato and wander the town. In the evening, we’ll all come together for a welcome dinner in the courtyard — the first night of many memories starting already!
Today you’re heading into a hidden canyon for a full day of adventure. You’ll swim in crystal-clear water, cliff jump (if you want), and explore one of the most unreal natural spots in Albania.
You’ll spend the day in the breathtaking Albanian Alps, driving through dramatic mountain views with stops along the way. A short hike takes you to Grunas Waterfall, followed by a visit to the famous Blue Eye — a stunning turquoise spring surrounded by mountains.
Today is a slower, scenic day where you’ll visit Rozafa Castle for panoramic views over the city and lake. After that, you’ll head to Lake Shkodra to relax, swim, or take an optional boat or kayak ride. It’s a perfect balance of culture, nature, and downtime to just soak everything in.
You’ll head deeper into the mountains for a remote hike to a hidden waterfall, surrounded by wild, untouched nature and natural swimming spots that feel like mermaid pools. After the hike, you’ll return for lunch and a relaxed evening.
Today you’ll cruise across Komani Lake by speedboat, surrounded by dramatic cliffside views, before arriving at the Shala River— aka the “Thailand of Europe.” Spend the day swimming in crystal-clear turquoise water, sunbathing, playing volleyball, or just relaxing in one of the most unreal natural settings.
You’ll head to Albania’s coastline for a slow, dreamy beach day filled with swimming, music, games, and sunshine. On the way, you’ll stop at scenic viewpoints for photos before arriving at the beach. In the evening, you’ll have your final group dinner followed by a night out to celebrate the week you just had together.
You’ll have a slow morning to pack up, hang out with the girls one last time, and say your goodbyes. Airport transfers will be arranged based on your flight time, and you’ll head home with a camera roll full of memories and a week you’ll probably never stop thinking about!
