CANYONS & CAVE Tour from Kutaisi – Okatse, Martvili & Prometheus

1.CANYONS & CAVE Tour from Kutaisi – Okatse, Martvili & Prometheus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 307 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $35Our pick

Explore Okatse and Martvili canyons and Prometheus Cave from Kutaisi, with English guidance, transport, boat rides, and practical hiking tips.

“We prebooked this tour because it was highly rated. On the day, it was raining hard so we couldn’t do the original itinerary, and we ended up going to an additional cave instead of one of the canyons. It was fine but boring. The day was 3 hours shorter than it was meant to be. Our tour guide wasn’t into it at all. He didn’t facilitate any conversation and it was awkward. Wish we had canceled 24 hours before when we saw the forecast. It sounds like a cool tour but it’s weather dependent so don’t do this if it’s gonna rain”

“We didn’t get to visit some of the places from the trip description - the old cable car station and the theatre because they were closed for repairing. The tour should have been interesting if we could really the old Soviet places. The company shouldn’t be doing this tour if they know the highlights are not available for visit.”

The places are definitely worth to visit and we felt in safe hands. Good organisation. Thank you very much!”

10.Prometheus Cave, Okatse Canyon & Martvili Canyon from Kutaisi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 28 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $25

Review of Kutaisi’s Prometheus Cave, Okatse and Martvili Canyon tour, with costs, walking demands, guide tips, boat rides, and honest drawbacks.

“Anyway, it walks, so it is not suitable for people with bad legs or families with small children. The zip line is the best. You'll want to ride more. For the elderly and families with young children, you can participate in some activities, such as boating, but the Hanging Trail in Okatse is difficult because there are quite a few steps... Prometheus Cave is definitely worth a try as it feels like a boat expedition. The cave was amazing because the distance inside was so long. It was just that there was music playing at key points, and that was unnecessary. You want to be able to explain and immerse…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $146

Review of Budget Georgia’s 2-day Svaneti tour from Kutaisi, with Mestia, Ushguli, Chalaadi Glacier, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“This tour blends stunning Caucasus landscapes with mixed logistics. Here’s the condensed breakdown: Day 1: Kutaisi → Mestia Starting with a 7:50 AM meetup, the 6-hour drive included quick stops at a dam (viewed distantly) and a small waterfall. In Mestia, we visited a historic tower and museum (extra fees), showcasing medieval Svaneti architecture. The afternoon “glacier hike” was a mountain path with distant snow-capped views, but the guide’s breakneck pace left us breathless—no rest stops until we begged for a pause. Day 2: Ushguli Excursion A 10 AM departure took 1.5 hours to Ushguli, with scenic viewpoint stops. The 2-hour stay (including lunch) offered glimpses of stone towers and…”
