Tirana · OSUMI CANYON, WATERFALLS & RAFTING
15 reviewed
The Osumi Canyon is Albania’s rafting run — narrow gorges, the Bogovë waterfall and cold clear water, best late spring into summer when the flow is high. This list ranks the trips that reach it: rafting versus a dry-canyon walk, how long the drive is, what gear is provided, and prices.
Hike Gamti Mountain from Tirana with Lake Bovilla views, a limestone canyon river stop, and air-conditioned comfort for $12.09.
“It was a great trip exciting. The guide Noel was very knowledgeable and experienced. We had a great moment. Will highly recommend this tour.”
Osum Canyon canyoning from Berat with proper neoprene gear, included lunch, and legend stops at Bogovë and Hole of the Bride, plus transfers.
“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”
Small-group hike to Bogove Waterfall and Osumi Canyon river wading from Berat, with lunch, water shoes, and easy transport.
“The guide was rude, did not introduce himself, did a whole different tour than the one we booked and did not explain why. We went into a random cave instead of going into the canyon and doing the clay masks. Furthermore, watershoes wRead more”
Swim inside Osum Canyon, hike to Bogove Waterfall, and learn Berat-area culture on a small-group day trip with lunch and water included.
“This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Albania! Definitely recommend it if you visit Berat. Our tour guide Ervis picked us up at the hotel and drove us around the main spots while explaining interesting details about the sites and albanian culture. During the hikes we also had time to explore on our own pace, swim in the waterfall and the canyon. It wasn't an intense hiking experience, which we were happy about, as we still drove south to Sarande after the tour. Thank you for the tour!”

“Great experience with Piro. I had a private tour, just him and me in his Fiesta. We had a great time. He had good tips on the waterfall and in the canyon we went cliff jumping, great fun. Lunch with the locals, great experience. I came as a customer and left as a friend! Absolutely recommendable, all around.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour thanks to the amazing guide, Geraldo. We learnt a lot about the regions history and culture. The walk to the waterfall was easy and the water cold and refreshing. The winery was really good. We opted to have lunch there and feasted on local food. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Berat.”

“Instead of rafting we did this tour. We were lucky enough to be together with 1 tour operator Ervis.”
Small-group hike from Tirana to Pellumbas Cave, Erzen canyon pools, and Petrela Castle, with headlamps and lunch included.
“Good experience, fantastic driver. Despite not knowing English he would go and pick some grapes and red berries for us to eat. The hike can be difficult at times but was very fun. I would advise the other travelers to take a lamp and a helmet for themselves when going into the cave as it is tricky otherwise (you can grab it from the restaurant where you will have lunch). The cave also can be slippery. My guide was fun to walk with, I would not mind him being more knowledgeable about the tour though. I would love to know some history behind the caves and the track. Even a…”
