Review of Albania’s Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain 4x4 tour, with off-road fun, big views, hike details, value, and practical tips.

“Anest was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He was very knowledgable of Albania and its history and was always open to questions.

Very professional staff, the guide was so funny and told a lot of interesting history. The vehicles were super to drive.

7.Off Road ATV Kallmi Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 51 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Ride an ATV from Durrës to wild Kallmi Beach, with mountain trails, clean water, sea life, and sharp practical rules.

“Fantastic experience and easily the best activity in Durrës. The mountain route is challenging and not for the faint-hearted, so if you’re uneasy with dangerous roads, it’s best to ride as a passenger. A valid driving licence is required to operate the quad bikes. This is probably the best quad biking experience in true mountain conditions.”

9.Berat Hiking Off Road picnic lunch in Tomori Holy Mount

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 32 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102

Ride mules and an off-road SUV through Tomori Mountain, hike to a scenic ruin, and enjoy a local Albanian picnic from Berat.

“The drive up and down involves bouncing around in a 4x4 and winding up loose gravel tracks and watching the landscape change as you get higher. The hike is through pine forest and beautiful landscapes, with Mount Tomor looming above impressively. The castle is definitely a ruin, with no standing walls remaining, but the location is very scenic. The lunch is delicious as well, with several Albanian specialties. The guides are happy to answer any questions and have everything well organised.”
