From Tirana and the airport
- Bus, furgon or taxi to Shkodër (roughly 1h 30m–2h from Tirana, a little less from the airport).
- Drive or take a furgon to Koman port — about 1h 30m.
- Boat Koman → Zgiboza, about 1h 15m. We meet you at the landing.
For the 09:30 boat you would have to leave Tirana very early — most guests take the 16:30 boat or sleep a night in Shkodër.
From Montenegro
Cross the border at Hani i Hotit to Shkodër — roughly 1 to 1½ hours depending on the queue. Then continue to Koman port and take the boat. Bring your passport and plan border time into your day.
From Fierza and the Valbona valley
You can also reach us from Fierza by boat across the lake — ask us for the current schedule. This is a popular route for hikers coming from Valbona.
Tips for a smooth journey
- Arrive at Koman port 20–30 minutes before the boat (09:30 or 16:30).
- Sleeping in Shkodër the night before makes the morning boat easy.
- Lake boats depend on the season and water level, so confirm with us before you travel.
- Message us your arrival time on WhatsApp so someone is waiting at the landing.
