The Osum Canyon is wonderful for nature lovers. To pass it through in an inflatable canoe ( shallow waters, because of dry season, didn’t allow rafting or kayaking) was a challenging but rewarding experience. For most of us it was first time experience with packrafting.
The initial group consisted of 5 people only. Lucas, our guide, did a fantastic job, especially in those places where there was rapid current.Lucas was guiding the group and taking some pictures, which he sent to our WA accounts. He even took some tea, coffee and biscuits he shared with us when we made a break.
We stoped at a big waterfall in the middle section of the canyon. We could swim next to the waterfall.
Another group, led by few guides of the same company, joined us there.
The other guides focused on taking pictures and videos of all of us.
I’m disappointed with the service Albrafting Berat provided after the trip. None of our initial group of 5 was told how we can get the pictures taken by the guides.
guides.
We’re having lunch in a restaurant when the guides said goodbyes and left to their base.
When I contacted Albrafting about the recordings, they gave me a phone number to Lucas.
Lucas send all pictures he’d taken and gave me contact numbers to the other guides. There’s no response from the others.
Taking into account the advertised price of €90pp for rafting or kayaking, I expect a travel agency help their customers rather than advise them to chase an issue with their employees or business partners.
Nonetheless, it’s definitely worth to go to the canyon, but take your own pictures.
