“I have to be honest, we did this excursion in August 2025, and I feel like I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For 80 euros per person, we got a taxi-driver on a speed-boat, who very reluctantly drove us to all the indicated locations.

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 32 reviews · 10 hours · from $151

Review of Theth from Shkoder: mountain roads, historic sites, northern Albanian lunch, Grunas Waterfall, natural pools, and the Blue Eye.

“It ended up being a private trip for me and my friend as no one else was booked that day. The guide was very nice and spoke good English. He made us feel very comfortable. The driver was a Theth local and drove very safely on the winding mountain roads. We learned about history and met locals en-route to the Blue Eye. Enjoyed a delicious meal in Theth before hiking up to the waterfall, church and judgement tower. Although the drive was long, we made short stops for the toilet and coffee and to admire the views on the high mountain pass. Overall the day was wonderful.”
