Review of the $58 Komani Lake and Shala River day trip from Shkoder, with boat views, swimming, practical tips, drawbacks, and who should book.
“The Komani Lake and Shala River as places were amazing BUT you can't call it a tour because we were given no information whatsoever. To us it was a boat ride on the lake and then a few hours relaxing by the river.”

“I visited Shkodra in December and this was an excellent tour. The national park was quiet because of the time of year, but that makes it a great time to visit. Maryam, the guide, was brilliant. He made everything easy and looked after everyone. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and great company for the day. Highly recommended.”

“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.

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.”
