About us

Albania beyond the asphalt

Off Limits Albania is a Tirana tour operator specialised in adventure and nature tourism. We were one of the first in Albania to offer nature and rural tourism: agritourism, ecotourism, culture and adventure.

Our standard and custom tours take individual travellers, small groups and families to remote mountains, valleys, protected areas and alpine lakes, past castles and ruins from antiquity to the Middle Ages.

FAQ

Before you ride

What is a jeep safari in Albania?

A guided day trip in a 4x4 vehicle on dirt roads, mountain tracks and beaches that normal cars cannot reach. You ride with a local driver-guide and stop at viewpoints, villages and historic sites.

Which safari should I choose for Bovilla Lake?

The full-day Bovilla Lake & Kruja safari is our classic: the lake, the canyon viewpoints, Kruja Castle and the old bazaar. A shorter 4-hour Bovilla Lake & Mount Gamti tour runs on request.

Where do the tours start?

Most safaris start in Tirana; the Theth safari starts in Shkodra. The 4 h Bovilla tour meets behind the Opera & Ballet, near City Hall. Pickup from your hotel, or from Durrës and the coast, is possible on request.

Can children join?

Yes, from 1 year old on every tour. Children aged 1–4 ride in a baby car seat that we provide and pay the full price. Ages 5–10 get 40% off; from 11 years the full price applies.

Can I book a private jeep or a large group?

Yes. We run private jeeps for couples and families, and convoys of up to 200 guests for agencies, cruises and companies.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes, closed shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen. Bring a light jacket for the mountains and swimwear for the coast in summer.
