The adventure continues with rafting on the Vjosa’s rapids, a hike through the limestone canyon of Kelcyra and visits to the Adriatic coast, including the Ali Pasha fortress on a seaside island and a swim on the Albanian Riviera. Time is also set aside to explore Vlora, with a rib boat trip to a cave once used by a 17th-century pirate.

The final day includes a stop at the Greek-founded ruins of Apollonia, before a cable car ride above Tirana to take on obstacle courses in the nearby adventure park. The tour has an active pace but balances activities with afternoons and evenings for families to relax or make their own discoveries.
