Përmet: Rafting Tour on the Vjosa River

Your adventure begins in Përmet, where you’ll arrive at the rafting center and get welcomed by the team. Before anyone touches a paddle, you’ll join a friendly information session covering the plan for the day, river conditions, and why each piece of equipment matters.

After gearing up, you’ll transfer to the rafting start point. There, your guide gives a short briefing focused on the boat: where you’ll sit, how to paddle and how to communicate as a team. Even if it’s your first time, you’ll know exactly what’s happening before you push off!

Then it’s time to raft: you’ll paddle roughly 1h30–1h40 through a beautiful 9 km stretch of the Vjosa. The scenery shifts constantly: rugged rock walls, smooth-stone riverbeds, calm clear sections, and lively rapids that bring big laughs (and a few happy splashes).

Midway, you’ll stop at a panoramic spot for a break. Cool off with a swim in calmer water, relax in the sun, and, if you’re feeling brave, try optional jumps from the rocks with guidance on where it’s safe.

After the river section ends, you’ll return to the rafting center to change, freshen up, and swap stories (and photos). Total experience time is about 3 to 3.5 hours, including briefings, transfers, and the river time.
