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

This three-day small-group trip links Tirana with Koman Lake, Valbona, Theth, and the Blue Eye. You’ll cross the 18-kilometer Valbona Pass trail, sleep in local guesthouses, eat included home-style meals, and travel with an English-speaking guide such as Daniel, Jozef, Gavin, or Redi.

“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!)”
