A long, spectacular full day into the Accursed Mountains — up the Boga pass to Theth, with time for the Grunas waterfall before the drive back — the Blue Eye of Theth is a much longer walk and realistically needs an overnight. A private driver, waiting while you explore. It's a big day out; we start early.
A private round-trip from Tirana with your driver waiting while you explore — from €220 per vehicle. Fuel, tolls and an English-speaking driver included; any entrance fees, guides or lunch are extra. It's a long day — we set off early.
An early start is essential: it's about 4 hours each way, north to Shkodër and then up the paved but winding SH21 over the Boga pass. We leave Tirana in the morning so you have real time in the valley, not just a turnaround.
Theth sits in the heart of the Albanian Alps — a valley of stone kulla tower-houses, a photogenic church in a meadow, and two famous short walks: the Grunas waterfall (about 45 minutes each way from the village) and the Blue Eye of Theth, a vivid turquoise pool further up the valley. You won't fit everything into a day trip; most guests pick one walk plus the village.
Because it's private, the pace is yours within the day's timing. Your driver waits throughout and brings you back to Tirana the same evening, door-to-door. If you'd rather stay overnight or hike the pass to Valbonë, our one-way Tirana to Theth transfer is the better fit — this is the return day tour.

Yes, but it's a long day — about 4 hours each way, so 12–14 hours in total. We start early so you get real time in the valley. If you'd prefer a slower visit, staying a night in Theth is lovely; ask us about the one-way transfer instead.
Most guests do the village and one of the two famous short walks — either the Grunas waterfall (about 45 minutes each way) or the Blue Eye of Theth further up the valley. Doing both in a single day trip is tight.
Yes — the SH21 from Shkodër is fully paved now, though narrow and winding over the Boga pass. Comfortable in our vehicles from late spring to mid-autumn; we confirm conditions for shoulder-season dates.
The private vehicle round-trip with the driver waiting, fuel, tolls and an English-speaking driver. Any entrance fees, a local hiking guide if you want one, and lunch are paid separately on the day.
