How it Works

Your Day on the River.

01

Meeting & Preparation

Your experience begins at Rafting Vjosa Albania Center in Përmet, where you will complete a quick check-in and meet your professional rafting guides. Guests who selected the pickup option can also be collected from their accommodation and brought to the rafting center.

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before departure to allow time for preparation. At the base, our team provides high-quality rafting equipment, including neoprene suits, helmets, life jackets, and paddles, ensuring comfort and safety before starting your Vjosa River rafting experience.

02

Transfer & Safety Briefing

Once everyone is ready, our drivers transport the group to the river entry point. Before entering the water, guides provide a clear safety briefing, explaining paddling techniques, teamwork, river navigation rules, and swimming instructions.

03

The Warm-Up

The experience begins with a calm section of the river, perfect for practicing paddling and getting comfortable with the raft. During this part you can enjoy the natural scenery of the valley and, if conditions allow, take a refreshing swim in the clear water.

04

Rapids & Swimming Break

As the river becomes more dynamic, the excitement begins. Working together as a team, you will navigate fun rapids and waves along one of the most scenic sections of the Vjosa River in southern Albania.

Between rapids, we stop for a swimming break, where you can enjoy the crystal-clear water and, if you feel adventurous, take optional jumps from natural river rocks under the guidance of our rafting team.

05

Finish & Return

After completing the rafting route through Vjosa National Park, we reach the finish point where our vans will be waiting to transfer you back to the rafting center in Përmet. Here you can relax and view the free photos from your rafting experience.

Vjosa River Rapids.
