For a unique twist, try our buggy tours that offer a thrilling way to explore rugged terrains, ideal for small groups or families looking to add some excitement to their weekend getaway. If you crave something even more extreme, our off-road adventures provide adrenaline-pumping experiences through Albania’s untamed landscapes, including water crossings, forest tracks, and off-the-beaten-path routes that promise both challenge and reward.
For those who prefer to take it slow, our hiking tours let you explore scenic mountain trails, discover local wildlife, and visit hidden villages where time seems to have stood still.

Additionally, horse therapy provides a calming, healing experience for both the mind and body.
