Drive the iconic Lada Niva 4x4 on challenging dirt roads just a few kilometres from Tirana!

No previous experience of driving off-road is necessary. Our tour leader will be there to teach you the basics, and pull you out if you're stuck.

The day begins with some easy routes to get you used to the Lada Niva 4x4. The real challenge is saved for the afternoon, as we take an unmapped trail with some tricky rock-climbing. If it's wet, this route is strictly one-way - once we start there is no going back!

Please note, the Lada Niva 4x4 has a manual (stick-shift) gearbox. They do not have air-conditioning. These are uncomfortable vehicles! However, the Lada Niva 4x4 is enormous fun to drive and will take us to places that are impossible to reach in a normal road car.

We aim to pick you up around 09.00 and return you to your hotel by 18.30. But please understand that due to the nature of the tour (and Tirana traffic!) there is a possibility that the day might end later.
