Rafting Adventure on the Wild Vjosa River in Përmet

About this activity

This is not just another rafting tour — it’s a river journey guided by experience.

Guided by Rico – Not Just a Guide, a River Insider

With years of hands-on experience on the Vjosa Rico knows this river in all seasons and moods. Expect expert navigation, real-time coaching, and stories only a local guide can share.

Adventure with Personality

From playful rapids to calm, glassy stretches, this route balances excitement and relaxation. You won’t just float downstream — you’ll understand the river, how to read it, and how to enjoy it safely.

Moments Worth Remembering

Hidden swimming spots, dramatic canyon views, and perfect photo stops are built into the experience — not rushed, not scripted.

A Connection Beyond the Paddle

This journey is also about slowing down and tuning in — fresh mountain air, untouched nature, and a deep respect for Europe’s last wild river.
