Raft 12 km through Albania’s Osum Canyon, where towering limestone walls and hidden waterfalls alternate with playful rapids. This guided trip from Berat includes safety gear, local guides, and a riverside lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sunlight slices between limestone teeth as the Osum River narrows and the canyon announces itself: cliffs rising up to 80 meters, dripping with moss, caves dark as caves should be. You push off and the current dares you — sometimes placid, sometimes insistent — threading through a 12 km run that alternates playful rapids with broad, reflective pools.

History
The Osum Canyon runs through Skrapar, a region with Ottoman-era bridges and long-standing shepherding traditions; the river shaped local routes and settlements for centuries.
Conservation
Rafting is seasonal to protect low-flow ecology; operators commonly follow leave-no-trace rules—avoid littering and respect nesting birds along cliffs.

Book by season
Rafting only runs when water levels are sufficient—spring runoff and early summer give the best flows; confirm availability before you travel.
