You step out onto Kutaisi’s Central Square as the van hums to life and the Imereti lowlands fall away behind you. The morning light slashes across limestone walls as you arrive at Okatse—here a narrow canyon makes the forest lean inward and a suspended walkway threads along the rim. The 900‑meter hanged bridge offers long, swaying sightlines where the gorge seems to watch you back.

You step out onto Kutaisi’s Central Square as the van hums to life and the Imereti lowlands fall away behind you. The morning light slashes across limestone walls as you arrive at Okatse—here a narrow canyon makes the forest lean inward and a suspended walkway threads along the rim. The 900‑meter hanged bridge offers long, swaying sightlines where the gorge seems to watch you back.
Geologically, this corner of western Georgia is carved from karst limestone: sinkholes, rapid river cuts, and cave passages tell a story of water working on stone for millennia. Martvili Canyon, an hour from Okatse, brightens the day with close waterfall encounters and an emerald river that will tempt you onto a 20‑minute boat ride when flows allow. Prometheus Cave later reveals vast stalactite vaults—one of Georgia’s largest showcaves—where guided walkways and a short optional boat ride trace subterranean streams.
Culturally, the route threads Soviet-era spa ruins in Tskaltubo with traditional villages and local guiding that often includes regional stories and tea. Expect varied terrain: boardwalks and metal bridges at Okatse, compacted trails and riverbanks at Martvili, and even paths in damp cave interiors.
Practical guidance: plan a full 9‑hour day; wear sturdy hiking shoes with good traction, bring layered clothing for cool canyon microclimates, and a waterproof shell if rain is forecast—boat rides are weather‑dependent. Carry water and a small daypack; mobility limitations and certain health conditions are not recommended. Time visits to avoid midday crowds and allow photography at softer light.
The suspended walkway spans roughly 900 meters with approach trails—expect several kilometers of walking on site including access paths.
Boating at Martvili and inside Prometheus is optional and weather‑dependent; confirm availability when booking and bring a waterproof bag for gear.
Children can join but the route has exposed walkways and stairs; infant seats are sometimes available but guardians should assess comfort with heights and groups.
This tour is not recommended for travelers with serious spinal, cardiovascular, or pregnancy concerns due to walking, stairs, and boat options.
Travel Kutaisi operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
