1.From Permet: Vjosa River Rafting and Benja Thermal Baths

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 21 reviews · 5 hours · from $69Our pick

From your Përmet hotel, certified English-speaking guides such as Tini or Tim lead a Class 2 to 3 rafting trip on the Vjosa, with swimming, photos, and a riverside snack stop. Finish at Benja’s warm springs beneath its old stone bridge.

“Super expérience de rafting avec Tini ! Après l'annulation de la réservation de plusieurs personnes, nous nous sommes retrouvé que ma femme et moi, et Tini a tout de même assurer la prestation. Tini nous a raconté l'histoire de la rivière et de l'Albanie avec passion, super intéressant. Nous nous sommes senti en sécurité tout au long du rafting grâce à l'expérience de Tini, merci encore ! Je recommande à 100%.”

3.Day Tour to Permet Thermal Baths and Langarica Canyon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 7 hours · from $92

Travel with an English-speaking guide from Sarandë or Gjirokaster to Benja’s warm sulfur pools and Langarica Canyon. A small group of up to eight makes the 7-hour trip personal. Ask if Klajdi is guiding your tour, and bring water shoes, swimwear, a towel, food, and drinks.

“Klajdi was a great guide and provides us such a wonderful alternative experience of Albania. It was truly great seeing so much of the countryside and the thermal baths were quite impressive. Certainly a bit of a walk to get through the canyon, but honestly well worth it. Definitely recommend this for those who want to break up the beach days up a bit.”
