3.Off Road ATV Kallmi Tour

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

You ride a quad from the Durrës meeting point toward secluded Kallmi Beach, about 25 minutes from Tirana. Expect a short but lively off-road route through hills, vegetation, goats, sea views, and cold coastal streams. Drivers need a valid car license, and everyone must arrive 30 minutes early.

“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.”

4.Drive a 4×4 Off-Road in the Tirana Valleys

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 37 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $106

You’ll pass forgotten villages, family farms, olive trees, and wild valleys, with a picnic lunch included. Manual driving experience helps, but passengers can enjoy the scenery without driving.

“Done this driving experience in August this year and have to say it was one of the most thrilling experiences I done on my trip around Europe, the owner Ed firstly collected me from my hotel and took me to the base, from there we were given clear instructions on how to drive the Ladas, Genti was my guide as we took the Lada off road and he kept me right, more so he was a wealth of knowledge about the local area and the history of Albania which I found very interesting, overall I really really enjoyed this experience and would 100% do it again.”

Do not forget your hiking shoes (flip flops just don't cut it -speaking from experience here). If you are heading to Blue Eye and have lunch do ensure that you tell them exactly what you want and how much they will charge for it -otherwise the price may surprise you (staff reactions too). An exciting and long day but well worth it.”
