Petrela Zipline Adventure

Tour rated 4.7 across 101 traveller reviews.

Overview

The session is private to your group. You start at the Zipline Albania base in Petrelë, where parking is available, and after kitting up with all the required safety equipment a member of the team walks you through a full briefing. Then you fly the line, with professional supervision the entire way, and finish back at the meeting point.

The ticket includes the flight, the gear, the briefing, return transport to the starting point, and a complimentary flight certificate at the end. A professional drone video of the flight is available at an extra price. Hotel pickup is not included, so you make your own way out, by car, taxi or bus. The setting is a hillside with a castle and views over the valley, and reviewers again and again praise both the views and the friendly staff.

This suits most travellers who want a quick adrenaline hit without a full-day commitment. It is not wheelchair accessible, and the listing advises against it for people with back problems, pregnant travellers, or anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions. Weight limits apply, from 35 to 125 kg.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the visit smoother, from clothing rules to how the drone footage works.

• What to wear. The listing asks for appropriate clothing: swimwear and very short shorts are not allowed, and a T-shirt with knee-length shorts or long pants is recommended.
• Getting there. There is no hotel pickup. Travellers reach Petrelë by car, taxi or bus, and one reviewer called the site easy to locate while another found it not the easiest place to get to.
• Weight limits. Participants must weigh between 35 and 125 kg. The listing also bars the activity for anyone with heart problems or serious medical conditions, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers or people with back problems.
• Drone footage. The drone video is optional and costs extra, though the listing does not state the price. One reviewer reported that their drone clip did not capture well.
• Short and sweet. The whole experience lasts about 30 minutes. Most reviewers called it great fun, and several said they would happily do it again.
• Photos and views. Reviewers recommend taking pictures at both the top and the bottom, and several praised the views of the castle, the greenery and the river along the route.

Common issues. The main grumble in reviews is the drone footage. There is no hotel pickup, the site is not wheelchair accessible, and the whole thing depends on good weather: if it is cancelled for poor conditions you are offered a different date or a full refund.
