About This Tour
Kayaking Tomor Lake Albania offers a calm and flexible water experience in a high-altitude mountain setting. Reached by off-road transfer from Berat, this tour allows guests to enjoy both kayaking and stand up paddle on the still waters of Tomor Lake.
The experience begins with arrival at the lake and a short introduction to both activities. Guests can choose to kayak or try stand up paddleboarding, making it suitable for beginners and those curious to try something new in a safe environment.
Surrounded by mountain landscapes, this alpine lake SUP tour is designed for relaxation rather than speed. The combination of activities and scenery makes it a popular choice for travelers looking for a peaceful day away from the city.
Wear comfortable clothes suitable for water activities and outdoor conditions. Bring secure footwear, warm layers, and sun protection. Please inform us in advance of any medical concerns.
The day begins with a meeting at Castle Park Hotel, with pickup also available from any hotel or guesthouse in Berat for added convenience.
From there, enjoy a scenic SUV drive of approximately 1.5 hours to the mountain village of Qafë Dardhë, passing through beautiful rural landscapes as you climb toward the foothills of Mount Tomorr.
The first hike lasts around 2 hours, leading to Saint Peter, a peaceful spot known for its panoramic views and the powerful presence of Mount Tomorr. This is a place to slow down, take in the scenery, and enjoy the sense of space and quiet that defines the area.
After the hike, it’s time to change pace. You’ll prepare for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, spending approximately 2 hours on the water. The experience is relaxed and scenic, followed by a picnic lunch featuring fresh local products, enjoyed in a natural setting.
The day continues with a second hike of about 1.5 hours back to Qafë Dardhë village. Here, you’ll have time for a short walk through the village and a well-earned break at the local coffee bar before returning.
Price: €89 per person
Accommodation is not included in this experience, but two carefully selected options are available upon request, depending on how you’d like to shape your stay.
In Berat, you can stay at Castle Park Hotel, a peaceful hotel located just outside the historic center. Surrounded by greenery, it offers comfortable rooms and generous breakfasts made with fresh local products, ideal for resting before or after a day of activities.
For a more immersive nature experience, riverside safari-style glamping is available at the Albania Rafting Group base in Përmet. Set close to the river, the glamping features comfortable tents with proper beds and shared facilities, allowing you to unwind in a quiet, natural environment after an active day.
Both accommodation options are offered as optional add-ons and can be arranged in advance, subject to availability.
