This immersive experience combines birdwatching, cultural heritage, and stunning coastal landscapes — perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor explorers.
After meeting at the designated point in Vlora, we transfer by vehicle to the kayaking departure area (a 30-minute drive). Once equipped, we launch into the calm waters of Narta Lagoon, paddling through serene channels surrounded by breathtaking views and diverse birdlife.
Throughout the journey, you’ll have the chance to spot iconic birds like flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) and Dalmatian pelicans (Pelecanus crispus), among many other migratory and resident species. Our expert kayak guide will help you navigate and identify these majestic creatures.
But this tour is more than just wildlife — you’ll also explore cultural landmarks hidden along the lagoon, including the Monastery of St. Mary and the mysterious Shen Triadha (Holy Trinity) chapel, a small sacred site cherished by locals.
Why Narta Lagoon?
Spanning over 41.8 km², Narta is one of Albania’s largest and most ecologically significant lagoons. Separated from the Adriatic Sea by an 8 km-long stretch of alluvial dunes formed by the Vjosa River, this wetland supports rich biodiversity and is a haven for birdwatchers and nature conservation.
