Albania Rafting Group, a leader in adventure and experiential tourism, has invested in the city of Përmet along the banks of the Vjosa River, creating a unique 10-sport Eco-Center. Our center offers accommodations in luxurious safari-style glamping tents, each equipped with three bedrooms and a private bathroom with a shower. This facility hosts thousands of visitors each year and provides activities such as rafting, kayaking, hydrospeed, pack rafting, mountain hiking, e-bike tours, canyon exploration, thermal bath visits, cooking classes, and village tours.
We are proud of this 100% eco-friendly project, where electricity is generated from photovoltaic panels, and waste is minimized, including the elimination of plastic waste by providing filtered water to our guests. All materials used at the center are recycled to preserve the natural environment.
Our Eco-Center is perfect for school tours, staff retreats, families, and anyone who loves nature.
