Best boat in Komani.

Best and fastest boat of all there. The boat can carry only 20 people, which means that you do not have to sit in the heat for long when boarding and disembarking. The captain stayed in the nicest places for the photo.

Great boats and friendly staff

Definitely a highlight of the trip and a must do for anyone who visits the area. I researched several other companies and feel like I made a great choice. The boat was very comfortable - compared to many others that looked…rustic. The lake and river were both beautiful! We stopped to swim in the river and it was very cold, but definitely worth a quick dip. Communication with the company was very easy and everyone we met was super friendly. We were given two options for parking - free parking in a public lot or paid parking at a nearby coffee bar. The paid parking was 100% worth it. One thing to be aware of is that there is no shade on the boat. We were there on a mild day and there were shady spots along the way, but I don’t know what it would be like in the middle of summer. I would suggest bringing a hat just to be safe. Also, I read several reviews that mentioned how rough the road is getting there. When we were there we hit a few miles of rocky road, but the rest was paved and they are actively paving the rest of the road now.
