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

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!)”

Taulant was friendly, helpful and filled us in on the history and background of Theth and Albania more widely.”

“Brilliant trip, can’t recommend it enough. The hikes are beautiful with stunning mountain landscapes. Blue eye was a great swim! The hike over the pass is a trip highlight! Also the last day hike in Valbona as there were very few people on the trail compared with the first 3 days. The homestays were lovely and the hosts so friendly and kind. The food they prepared was delicious and filling! Brikena organised everything so well we always knew what we needed to do and kept in touch with us. We felt well looked after. Thank you!”

A four-day Albanian Alps adventure with Theth hikes, Valbona Pass, traditional guesthouses, and a scenic Koman Lake ferry ride.

“The trip with Ervin was great! We had a very nice time. Some communications issues, due to intermediate English, but that was totally fine. For others I would say that the food in the guesthouses is traditional, so you will eat the same everyday (not very vegetarian friendly). Also it was not timed super well for lunch in some parts of the trip, so I would recommend to bring some snacks that you can eat throughout the trip. I would say you need to be an intermediate/experienced hiker for the trip. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Ervin as a guide!”
