★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 73 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $524Our pick

Hike Albania’s Valbona Pass, Theth, Gurnas Waterfall, and Blue Eye in three days with transport, meals, guides, and guesthouses.

“This was a great hiking tour - the main hike was truly incredible with amazing views and it was great learning more about Albania. The guest houses were comfortable and food delicious and generous portions. The tour ran very smoothly, we had an injury in our group and the guide went above and beyond to make sure they got back safely. Daniel, our guide, was a very interesting and knowledgable man and truly made the tour unique. I would recommend moderate fitness for the tour as main hike is tough, but well worth it, and you are required to carry your bags (so pack light!)”

On the drive to Theth he made sure we had everything we need and answered all of our questions. The two hikes on the trip were so beautiful and worth the hike to get there (even in the rain!). The home stay we stayed at in Theth was cozy, friendly and a perfect place to share stories over a traditional Albanian dinner.”
