Detailed itinerary

We provide every day guaranteed departure group tour from Kutaisi to Canyons and caves.

The first stop is Prometheus cave that is 1,8 km long and is located 40 meters below sea level. In the cave there is a hall of love where people even get married. Here you can enjoy with underground boating. It’s cool, isn’t? :)

Meanwhile it’s time for lunch. Our lunch break is at local restaurant, where the most delicious Georgian food in neighborhood is made .

The next attraction is Okatse canyon. This is the deepest canyon in Georgia with hanged bridges and sky walks. There are 2 ways to achieve bridge: trekking on 3 km route and taking off-roading taxi. Off-roading is pretty impressive experience.
