Experience the tranquility of Europe's last free-flowing wild river from the unique vantage point of a two-person canoe. Unlike our high-adrenaline white-water rafting tours, the River Canoeing experience is specifically designed for relaxation, wildlife observation, and gentle paddling. We select the calmest, most scenic flatwater sections of the Vjosa River, making this the perfect excursion for couples, families with children, and anyone looking to connect with nature at a peaceful pace.
As you gently paddle down the crystal-clear azure waters, you will have ample time to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding Trebeshinë-Dhëmbel-Nemërçkë mountain range. The quiet nature of the canoe allows you to approach local wildlife without disturbing them, offering excellent opportunities for photography. Your expert guide will accompany you in a separate craft, ensuring your safety while pointing out historical landmarks and ecological wonders along the riverbanks.
Arrive at our basecamp in Përmet for a brief orientation. You will be matched with your paddling partner, and we will distribute your paddles and comfortable life jackets.
A short drive takes us upstream to our designated flatwater launch point. Along the way, your guide will provide a brief lesson on canoe steering and paddling techniques.
We launch our canoes into the calm, azure waters. Enjoy a peaceful float downriver, practicing your paddling strokes and taking in the incredible mountain scenery that surrounds you.
We pull our canoes onto a serene, sandy river beach. Take a refreshing swim in the clear water or simply relax on the banks before our transport brings you back to the city.
No experience is required. Canoeing on flatwater is very intuitive, and our guides will give you all the instruction you need before you hit the water.
Absolutely. Because we select calm sections of the river without major rapids, this is one of our most family-friendly tours. Children sit safely in the canoe with an adult.
