Albania · BERAT, OSUMI & BOGOVA TRIPS
Berat stacks its windows up the hill above the Osum and the canyon behind it is rafted only while the snowmelt lasts. These 15 pair the castle quarter with the waterfall and the rafting runs, priced, timed and honest about the drive from Tirana.

“We had a blast, swimming in canyon was challenging one way against the current, life jackets were available for people who couldn't swim, we had tasty local lunch afterwards and then did 20-minute easy hike to Bogove waterfall, our guide Soni was really kind, helpful and shared interesting insights along the way”

Canyon exploring in Albania’s Osum with neoprene gear, lunch, and hotel transfers from Berat. Swim, jump, and learn legends.
“Meer dan de helft van de activiteit is reistijd, om half 9 verzamelen uiteindelijk pas om tien voor 12 gaan canyoningen om vervolgens om 2 uur alweer klaar te zijn en pas weer rond half 6 terug in Berat te zijn. Activiteit zelf is echt mega leuk maar niet de moeite waard met al het reizen erbij. Mensen zijn wel aardig en de lunch was ruim voldoende. Was ook een beetje aan de dure kant vind ik voor wat je er uiteindelijk voor krijgt”

“We’ve been to Albania several times and this was one of the best things we have ever done! Gentjan was a fantastic tour guide, photographer, historian, biologist, geologist, etc! He knew so much about the area and was just awesome! The place we stopped for lunch was incredible too! If you want to get out of the city and see some incredible natural resources, our family highly recommends this tour!”

Berat Walking Tour with Bruno: Berat Castle and Gorica Bridge, small-group history, and pro photos for $18.10.
“Bruno, a lifelong resident of Berat, was thorough, patient and had thoughtful answers for all our questions. He takes you up to the castle which is also a huge perk (one doesn't want to walk up!) But Bruno knows everyone in town and easily organised a taxi up for us. He sincerely said contact him if we needed any local recommendations or anything and he was responsive and so helpful when we did text him after. It was so welcoming of him to show us his home and his pride and love for his town shines through.”
Swim at Bogovë Waterfall and float Osumi Canyon from Berat, with gear, lunch, and optional safe cliff jumps in a full 7-hour day.
“The time spend in the canyon is really nice: we hiked, dipped/floated in the water and we jumped off the cliffs. The waterfall is a nice add-on I guess, for me it wasn't inviting after a couple of hours at the canyon. The guides were attentive for our safety, lunch was simple yet nice. Two things I'd like to mention as constructive feedback. A) The higher off jumps are a bit tricky, I dont think the water is deep enough. I did 8m and touched the "floor" with my lumbar spine (happened to person after me too), which did hurt + limited my movement for the days after. B) The…”
Raft, kayak, or tube through Albania’s Osumi Canyons, past eight waterfalls (Jan-Jun), with certified guides, pro gear, and transfers.
“The rafting camp location is in poor shape. People are rude when asking for simple drinking water. The guide was so rude. Don't even say the direction properly but whenever you wanna take pictures he screams and scolds. The river is shallow for rafting, most of the places we pushed the boat. The guide took pictures of us but never shared them. Even we asked for it serval times.”
