“We had a fantastic day rafting at Osumi Canyons. We were collected from the centre of Berat and taken for a 2 hour drive to Osumi Canyons. The drive was an adventure in its own right, speeding along winding roads and though the mountainous Albanian countryside up to the gorge itself. Once there we were provided all the kit we needed, wetsuits, helmets and life jackets and given a safety brief before another short drive with the boats down to the waters edge.

Travel from Berat to Osumi Canyon for about three hours of guided walking, swimming, and optional rock jumps. Your guide provides neoprene gear, a life jacket, helmet, and other safety equipment. The day also includes lunch, a Bogovë water stop, local legends, and a return transfer.

“Meer dan de helft van de activiteit is reistijd, om half 9 verzamelen uiteindelijk pas om tien voor 12 gaan canyoningen om vervolgens om 2 uur alweer klaar te zijn en pas weer rond half 6 terug in Berat te zijn. Activiteit zelf is echt mega leuk maar niet de moeite waard met al het reizen erbij. Mensen zijn wel aardig en de lunch was ruim voldoende. Was ook een beetje aan de dure kant vind ik voor wat je er uiteindelijk voor krijgt”

“Ervis the guide was great, explained everything great and made us have a perfect xìa. My bad review goes to the Enterprise that makes the trip. It started raining halfway through the excursion and we couldn't go to the waterfalls. Paying 60 euros each, just to go to the canyons. Whether it rains or not, it is not the fault of the company but if they propose a solution since we try to contact them and have not received a response...Auto-translated”
