Fly above Llogara National Park on a tandem paraglide with hotel pickup, expert instruction, sea views, flight video, and flexible cancellation.

“It is amazing. I had always wanted to go paragliding, and when I finally went I couldn't believe how amazing it is. It's honestly like flying! I personally had almost no adrenaline left; it's really not that scary. But the view! I could see for miles! I love mountains ❤️ Everybody was so far below me. It was also better than an airplane for me because I could feel the wind on my skin and I wasn't confined to a window for viewing purposes. If you like rollercoasters and aren't afraid of heights, I would definitely recommend it! If you are in Albania yes go for this. This crew is…”

Review of the Vlore and Himare beach tour from Tirana, with lunch, Gjipe Beach, Llogara Pass views, transport, and practical tips.

“We visited Vlorë and Himarë on a day trip, and it was truly the highlight of our Albania tour. The journey was quite long, so I would recommend making it a two-day trip if possible—or spending less time in Vlorë, as Himarë is definitely worth dedicating more time to. Our driver was excellent, very kind and attentive, always checking if we needed anything. He also shared interesting details about the local history, attractions, and monuments in Vlorë. Himare itself is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise water at the perfect temperature for swimming and sandy clean beach. Be sure to come prepared! We were offered beach loungers, as well as access…”
