Questions:
Is it dangerous?

This rafting track is classified as Wild Water II - III (flat running water with small waves), and as such does not present particular difficulties for navigation. The guides and the equipment in use guarantee a trip in full safety.

Do I have to be skilled?

No, previous experience is not required. The guide on board will teach to the crew the basics of paddling necessary for the trip. They are affordable for anyone.

Must I know how to swim?

Yes. Although the life jacket (pfd) will not let the person go under water, swimming or flotation capacities are a good comfort in case of eventual swims.

Am I going to be cold?

The equipment provided secures a very good protection against cold. Hence, everybody is different and a bit of chill for someone can be unavoidable.

Attention!

Persons with heart disease, respiratory problems or other syndromes not compatible with sports are not recommended to participate in this trip. If they do, they do so at their own risk.





-Explorer (Offered in July, August and September)
In July, the water 'leaves' but the canyon still remains a magnificent monument of the Albanian nature. Until the autumn rains begin it is not possible to raft the entire canyon, therefore the exploration takes place like river hiking on the river shores a swimming in the pools helped by life-jackets, while keeping our heads safe with helmets, in company of experienced local guides that know every stone of the place.
