Local guides on
Albania's bluest water

Kapaj Tour runs boat trips out of Shkodra into the Komani Lake fjord and the Shala River — a stretch of northern Albania that's reachable no other way. We're not a booking platform reselling someone else's boat. We're the crew on it.

The Shala River only shows itself to people willing to reach it by water — there's no road that gets you the whole way. That's what drew us to this stretch of the Albanian Alps in the first place: a place still shaped more by the fjord than by tourism.

What began as a single daily route from Shkodra grew, trip by trip, into a full set of ways to reach the river — from Komani Lake, from Fierze, from Tirana, and as multi-day journeys into Theth and Valbona for travelers who want the mountains as well as the water.

We still keep it small on purpose. Every boat is captained by someone who knows this water personally — where it's calm enough to swim, which coves stay quiet at midday, and when the light on the cliffs is worth slowing down for.

How We Work

What guides every trip

Local-led, always

Every route is designed and captained by people who grew up on this water, not scheduled from a call centre somewhere else.

Light on the river

Small boats, unlimited daily groups kept modest, and no permanent structures on the riverbank — the fjord stays the way we found it.

Flexible by default

Free reservations, pay on arrival, and real people to reply on WhatsApp if your dates or group size change.

Room for everyone

Shared daily departures for solo travelers and families, or a private boat for up to six if you'd rather set your own pace.
