Koman Tours & Trips

You'll cruise through the dramatic fjord-like gorges of Komani Lake on a 1.5-hour boat ride, surrounded by steep cliffs and emerald waters that you can only reach from Koman's ferry port. The boat brings you to the secluded Shala River, often called the 'Thailand of Europe,' where you have 2-3 hours to swim in crystal-clear waters and relax on white stone beaches.

Dramatic cliffs frame the Komani Lake crossing, nicknamed 'Northern Albania's Norway'. Towering waterfalls and hidden villages dot the landscape before bumpy roads offer views of Vau i Dejes Lake en route to Shkoder or Tirana.

This full-day trip from Tirana takes you to Shala River, often called 'the Thailand of Albania,' which you can only reach by boat through Komani Lake gorges. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle for about 3 hours 20 minutes to Komani Dam, then board a shared boat with 20-40 passengers for a 1-hour cruise through deep gorges and high mountains. There's time to swim in the clear Shala River, plus an optional 45-minute mountain hike to a viewpoint. The boat heads back at 3:30 PM, getting you to Tirana around 8:00 PM.
