The 13 Best Albania Waterfall Tours

1.Berat: Osum Canyon and Bogove Waterfall Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 282 reviews · 7 hours · from $67Our pick

Travel from Berat with guide Soni or another English-speaking leader to Polican, Osum Canyon, and Bogove Waterfall. You’ll stop at viewpoints, learn about Albania’s past, hike, swim in cold river water, and enjoy a picnic. Canyon access changes with the season, so summer offers the most active itinerary.

“The trip was amazing. The guide and the driver were really nice and they told us a lot of things about Albania and the district of Berat. The food was local and tasty. We swam in the cold waters of the waterfalls (great experience) and in the canyon. I really enjoyed both, but truth is maybe it would have been better to wear the lifejacket. This is because we swam with the guide for a kilometre against the current and if you're not a good swimmer it could be dangerous. I recommend this trip 100%”

2.Osumi Canyon Swim, Float, Explore & Bogove Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42Top rated

Flow Albania provides lunch, safety gear, and local guides such as Miri, Ervis, Dino, and Visi. Cliff jumps depend on water and safety conditions.

“Just perfect! When booking, we made a mistake and booked 10:30 instead of 1:00 pm. We realized it 30 minutes before the start and it was too late to go. With kindness, they agreed that we should still show up at 1pm. Upon arrival, we had a good meal with those who did the activity at 10:30 and then we went solo with our guide (who did the activity only for us!). Visi was very friendly and made us a photo report of more than 100 photos and videos. What to keep a great memory of this moment 😊 Thank you very much for everything!Auto-translated”

“The time spend in the canyon is really nice: we hiked, dipped/floated in the water and we jumped off the cliffs. The waterfall is a nice add-on I guess, for me it wasn't inviting after a couple of hours at the canyon. The guides were attentive for our safety, lunch was simple yet nice. Two things I'd like to mention as constructive feedback. A) The higher off jumps are a bit tricky, I dont think the water is deep enough. I did 8m and touched the "floor" with my lumbar spine (happened to person after me too), which did hurt + limited my movement for the days after. B) The…”
