What you’ll do on the Saranda Rafting Tour with Beach Day – 3 Hours Adventure

This Saranda rafting tour is a 3-hour river trip near Saranda, Albania, with 1 to 1.5 hours of paddling downriver through rapids and forest. It is a small-group outing for travelers aged 8 and over who want time outdoors close to town, and it ends near the beach where the river meets the sea.

What you'll do

  • Meet us at Camping Ecuador in Saranda.
  • Board our van and head upstream along the Bistrica River, a ride of about 20 minutes.
  • Put on your protective equipment and get ready for the water.
  • Raft downriver for 1 to 1.5 hours, working through rapids with clear water and tall trees around you.
  • Take a break with snacks and bottled water.
  • Finish close to the mouth of the river, where it meets the sea.

Who it's for

The tour suits travelers aged 8 and over who have at least a moderate level of fitness. It is a good choice if you are staying in Saranda and want a half-day activity without a long drive. Couples, friends and families with older children can share a raft, and our guides set the pace for the group. Groups are small, with up to 10 travelers per booking. Rafting is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or for pregnant travelers. Our guides speak English, Greek and Italian.

Read this before you book

Send us your accommodation first. Not every address can be reached by our vehicles. Send your hotel or Airbnb to one of our advisors on WhatsApp and they will confirm whether we pick you up at the door or agree a meeting point nearby.

Your pickup time is not the tour start time. They are very different. We collect you well before activities begin, because the drive and the other pickups on the route take time. Your advisor gives you your exact pickup time when your booking is confirmed — go by that time, not by the departure hour shown on this page.
