1.Berat Rafting, Kayaking & River Tubing – Osumi Canyons

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 336 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $54Our pick

Review of Osumi Canyon rafting near Berat, with transport, safety, seasonal water levels, costs, guides, and practical booking advice.

“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. The water was quite low when we were there but, although the river wasn’t going to provide the adrenaline, the scenery certainly did. With the gorge towering…”

Review of Osumi Canyon rafting, kayaking, and tubing from Berat, with seasonal advice, transport details, safety, value, and practical tips.

“The rafting camp location is in poor shape. People are rude when asking for simple drinking water. The guide was so rude. Don't even say the direction properly but whenever you wanna take pictures he screams and scolds. The river is shallow for rafting, most of the places we pushed the boat. The guide took pictures of us but never shared them. Even we asked for it serval times.”

“We had an amazing time Rafting/ Tubing. The scenery was beautiful and the overall experience was great. Our guide Pedro from JUST COME was super fun and we felt extremely safe with him. Also as an extra bonus he took a lot of fun pictures of the trip! Totally recommend this activity! We will be back for sure - maybe when there is more water in the river. But evens the water levels were lower - it was still a great adventure for us. So yes absolutely 5 stars. We also booked the lunch - it was a fantastic way to extend the nice trip. Cute restaurant and good food.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $83

Paddle whitewater on Slovenia’s turquoise Soča River with a small group, expert guidance, gear, snacks, photos, and easy cancellation.

“The whitewater SUP trip on the Soča river with Bovec Paddleboarding was amazing! Andrej was an encouraging and helpful teacher and I always love supporting a small business. I signed up alone and was joined by another couple and it was great. During the summer the biggest challenge was shallow water in the rapids but it’s easy to ride on your knees if you are uncomfortable standing. Andrej even takes pictures and video during the trip and emails you after, price included. The river and landscape was so beautiful. I would recommend this SUP trip and Bovec Paddleboarding 100%!”
