“We werden ‘s ochtends op tijd opgehaald met een busje door een vriendelijke chauffeur (enkel de ophaallocatie was niet heel duidelijk). De busrit verliep vlot, maar het laatste stukje was de weg in zeer slechte staat. De boottocht was heel mooi en fijn. Eens aangekomen, kregen we ongeveer 3 uur de tijd om rond te lopen. Je kan er op verschillende plekken iets eten en drinken. Ook kan je er zwemmen en kajakken (wel in heel koud water). In september zijn er niet al te veel toeristen dus dat was ook fijn. We waren om 18u weer terug in Shkodër. Echt een aanrader om te doen!”

“De manière générale, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre excursion à la Shala River. L'organisateur nous a fourni toutes les informations nécessaires pour la journée ainsi que les billets pour les différents trajets. Toutefois, il ne nous a pas accompagné. Une fois sur place, nous avons donc dû trouver le ferry et, surtout, retrouver le minibus en fin de journée. Malheureusement, dans notre cas, le minibus est reparti sans nous, et cinq autres personnes, sur le bord de la route. En effet, en fin de journée, beaucoup de minibus viennent chercher les touristes ce qui crée pas mal d'agitation. Le minibus ne pouvant pas attendre trop longtemps, il est simplement parti,…”

Por otro lado la excursión contratada fue en inglés y ninguno de los guías hablaba nada de inglés. Por último, solo pudimos realizar la mitad de la excursión.
