/about.html About Us | Rafting Permet Albania – Vjosa & Fir of Hotova Experts

Our Story

Born on the banks of the wild Vjosa River in 2013, we are a local family-owned company dedicated to sharing the natural wonders of Permet and Fir of Hotova National Park with the world.

In 2013, four childhood friends from Permet – all passionate river lovers and nature guides – founded Rafting Permet Albania with one raft and a deep respect for the Vjosa and the surrounding ancient fir forests.

Today we offer professional rafting on the Vjosa, guided hiking on the trails of Fir of Hotova National Park, scenic bicycle tours, and wellness experiences at the Benja thermal springs. Every adventure is led by local experts who know the wildlife, history and hidden corners of this unique region.

Our mission remains the same: deliver safe, authentic, and sustainable outdoor experiences while protecting the wild Vjosa River and the pristine Fir of Hotova forests for future generations.
