Many travelers affectionately refer to this enchanting destination as Albanian Thailand, and it’s easy to understand why. Our adventure begins with a scenic mountain drive leading us to the breathtaking Komani Lake. Here, a private speedboat awaits to whisk us across the shimmering emerald waters, guiding us to the stunning Shala River.

As we arrive, the day unfolds with a focus on relaxation and enjoyment by the river. Picture yourself swimming in crystal-clear waters, playing volleyball with friends, and discovering hidden gems alongside our knowledgeable local guides, who will take us to a beautiful viewpoint rarely seen by visitors.

On our return journey across the lake, we’ll pause for a refreshing swim right from the boat, allowing the cool water to invigorate our spirits. We’ll conclude this remarkable day at a charming lakeside restaurant, savoring delicious local cuisine while taking in the striking beauty of one of Albania’s most iconic landscapes. It’s a relaxed and unforgettable experience that will surely leave a lasting impression.

Best friends Erjon and Rob started Shkodra Hostel in 2020 with one simple idea: show people how amazing their home truly is. Born and raised in Shkoder, Albania, they grew up exploring the region’s nature, hidden gems, and local life, building lasting connections along the way. From representing Albania on the basketball court to representing it through unforgettable day tours, they carry the same teamwork, energy, and pride into everything they do. Today, they share the experiences they loved growing up, creating authentic, locally rooted adventures that support the community and feel more like spending time with friends than tours.
