How to get to Shala River
The tours on this site reach Shala River by boat across Komani Lake. You can join a trip starting in Shkodër with road transport, or travel to Koman independently and book the boat journey. Check the exact meeting point with Toplana before setting off.
Shkodër departure or Koman boat trip?
A Shkodër departure combines the road transfer and boat trip in one booking. If you already have transport to Koman, compare the Komani Lake to Shala River boat tour. The Shkodër–Koman transfer alone does not include a Shala River boat ticket.
Shared boat, road transfer or private boat?
Choose a shared return boat from Koman for 2,000 Lek per person, a Shkodër–Koman road transfer for 1,000 Lek per person, or a private return boat for 15,000 Lek (1–5 guests) or 25,000 Lek (6–10 guests). Road transport and boat trips are booked separately.
Prices and what your booking covers
Shared boat and road transfer prices are per person. Private boat prices cover the whole boat: 15,000 Lek for 1–5 guests or 25,000 Lek for 6–10 guests. Meals, drinks, kayak hire and zipline cost extra.
Planning your day and return
Full-day trips from Shkodër combine road travel, sailing and free time at Shala. Boat-only visits start at Koman. Use the itinerary on your selected tour page and confirm the return meeting point: departure times can depend on the tour, weather and lake conditions.
Packing and caring for the river
Bring drinking water, sun protection, a towel, swimwear and comfortable footwear. A light layer and a splash-resistant bag help on the boat. Ask the local team about swimming conditions, supervise children near the water and take your rubbish away.
