You'll meet at our riverside base in Përmet in southern Albania, where the team has welcomed visitors since 2012 inside the Vjosa Wild River National Park. 🎯 Key Details Duration: Around 2.5 hours total Location: Përmet, Vjosa Wild River National Park, Albania Activity: Standard shared group rafting Difficulty: Easy, no experience needed Minimum age: 3+ in suitable summer conditions 🚣 What to Expect You'll start at the riverside base in Përmet where staff fit life jackets, helmets and wetsuits and explain paddle commands and river safety. A short transfer then takes you to the put in on an easy section chosen for beginners and mixed ability groups rather than our moderate rapids adventure. On the water you paddle as a team through scenic stretches with splashy but manageable rapids, pausing for photos and rest breaks while guides keep the pace relaxed. The route emphasises enjoyment and confidence rather than heavy white water, with time to take in the clear pools and mountain views along the riverbank. After the run you'll return to base to dry off, enjoy drinking water and seasonal fruit, and collect free photos and videos from the river. Staff help you change and are happy to suggest things to explore in Përmet after you're off the water. 📍 Location The Vjosa flows freely through wide valleys and clear pools below mountain ridges near Përmet inside the national park landscape. Standard group sections use gentler rapids than our moderate rapids adventure while still giving a genuine wild river feel on one of Europe's last free flowing rivers. Përmet sits in southern Albania between Gjirokastër and the Albanian Riviera, making a river day easy to combine with heritage towns and mountain drives in the region. The riverside base offers free parking, changing rooms and secure storage so you can arrive, kit up and head straight to the water. ✅ Prerequisites No rafting experience is required and guides coach paddle commands during the safety briefing before you reach the river. Children must meet the minimum age on the day and fit the life jackets provided on site. Basic mobility to enter and exit the raft with assistance is needed, along with comfort getting splashed on gentle rapids during the run.

You'll spend around 2.5 hours in total, including kit up, briefing, transport to the river, paddling and return to base. Exact timing can shift slightly with group size, water levels and how long you pause for photos on calmer stretches. ### Where do we meet? Meet at our riverside base in Përmet at your confirmed start time. Free parking, changing rooms and secure storage for bags are available on site. Find us on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JKygEmGuUtmRzMfQA. Arrive early enough to change and listen to the safety talk before the transfer to the put in. ### What is the minimum age? Children aged three and above can join when summer river conditions are suitable. Guides may raise the minimum age if water levels or weather require a safer route. Every child wears a provided life jacket and follows guide instructions on the river. ### Do we need rafting experience? No prior rafting experience is needed. This is the easy standard group route with manageable rapids rather than our moderate rapids adventure. You should be comfortable sitting in a raft, getting splashed and following paddle commands in English or Albanian as directed by the crew. ### What is included? Certified life jackets, helmets, neoprene wetsuits, raft, paddles and transport between base and river are included. Professional local guides, a safety briefing, drinking water, seasonal fruit, and free photos and videos are also covered.

Bring swimwear, a towel and shoes that can get wet. Secure lockers are available at base for valuables. ### Will we get wet? Yes. Expect splashes on gentle rapids and wet clothing by the end. Quick drying layers work well in summer. Pack a full change of clothes for after the river and leave non waterproof items at the base when possible. ### What if the river conditions change? River trips depend on safe water levels and weather. If conditions are not suitable on the day, your guides may take a gentler section of the river or offer another date. Your guide crew makes the final call on the day based on water levels and weather. ### What group sizes are accepted? Solo travellers, couples, families and small groups join a shared raft on scheduled departures up to 15 participants. Group sizes vary with demand on the day. If you want the raft to yourselves, ask us about a private trip for your group. Get in touch before you book if you are travelling in a larger party. ### What should I wear and bring? Wear swimwear or quick drying clothing under the wetsuit provided on site. Bring water shoes or secure sandals that can get wet, a towel and a full change of clothes for after the river.
