Stand Up Paddle tour in Albania is the perfect combination for watersports and wildlife passionate lied on Skadar Lake and Buna River. Great way to experience wild nature life in the unexplored before areas that gave Shkodra its main values. The biodiversity with the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida), Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus Crispus), and Water Lilly Flowers (Nyphar Lutea and Nymphaea Alba) are the rock stars of this trip that looks like a visit in the botanic park where the scenery changes every hour completely like the smartphone swipe. From the immense view of the greatest lake in the Balkans to the Ramsar strict protected area. This IBA area is a well-valued nesting area for the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) and a resting area for the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus Crispus) and hundreds of other birds explained by the Nature Guide during the entire trip

   Me and my husband went with this tour agency to go on a hiking trip in the Albanian Alps. Andi and his team made us feel very welcome at all... read more times. All of the staff spoke very good English and we learnt a lot about the countries history and customs. Andi introduced us to amazing  local restaurants serving traditional Albanian food. The hiking trip itself was very well organized, the accomodations were clean and the owners would treat us like their family. All in all we were absolutely delighted with the services provided and highly recommend to book a trip with Goaslocal! We would have never been able to experience the country as we did with Andi and his crew. Thanks again for helping us making this trip memorable. …
