ALBANIA ADVENTURE TRIP!! ⛰️ Jump into the clearest blue water, chase waterfalls, hike through the Albanian Alps, cliff jump into hidden swimming spots, and cruise down the Shala River through some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe on this 8 day trip exploring the best parts of Albania! My favorite thing about trips like this is always the people. I want this to feel like one big group of friends experiencing somewhere new together. Whether you’re coming solo or with someone, the whole point is to get outside, try things that scare you a little, and make some great memories:) We also have Erjon and Rob, our local hosts and guides, joining us along the way. They know Albania better than anyone and are genuinely two of the best people to explore it with. They’ll be helping take care of the logistics and making sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the trip. Come ready to explore. Albania is going to be an ADVENTURE 🇦🇱
