Komani Lake to Shala River: All-in-One Boat Tour with Lunch & Swim Stops

Every summer, we welcome thousands of travelers to Komani Lake and Shala River. We noticed that many guests want an all-in-one experience that combines a lunch stop, swimming, and a sunset ride home. This special 6-hour afternoon itinerary happening in July–August features a strategic stop at the famous “5 Stinët” restaurant for traditional lunch, dedicated lake swimming from the boat, and free time at Shala River for hiking, canoeing, swimming, or relaxing, concluding with a sunset cruise back through Komani Lake.

We designed this package with a special schedule. First, we stop at the famous 5 Stinët restaurant, the absolute best viewpoint over Komani Lake, to enjoy delicious traditional food. Please note that lunch is a la carte and is not included in the tour price, so you can freely choose your favorite local dishes from the menu. Next, you get free time to swim in the lake directly from the boat. We then visit Shala River at a strategic moment when the big daytime crowds leave, giving you a more peaceful experience. Once there, you have free time at Shala River for optional activities like swimming, canoeing, hiking, walking, trying the zipline, or simply choosing to relax. We conclude this unique day with a sunset cruise back through Komani Lake.

  • You get a full 6-hour afternoon boat tour with a special schedule
  • We visit the famous 5 Stinët restaurant and Shala River at the best strategic times.
  • The boat stops in the middle of Komani Lake, where you can go swimming from the boat.

Excluded:

  • Your a la carte traditional lunch and drinks at 5 Stinët are not included in the tour price.
