Morning light slices the limestone at Martvili Canyon, and the river dares you to follow its turquoise ribbon through arches and waterfalls. A short boat cruise eases you into the day, water pushing the boat past moss-slick walls while cliffs keep a steady, ancient watch.

Morning light slices the limestone at Martvili Canyon, and the river dares you to follow its turquoise ribbon through arches and waterfalls. A short boat cruise eases you into the day, water pushing the boat past moss-slick walls while cliffs keep a steady, ancient watch.
This route threads together distinct geologies: the river-cut gorges of Martvili, the suspended walkway and 900-step descent at Okatse, and the cool, calcite-carved halls of Prometheus Cave. The Imereti region was shaped by uplift and river incision over millennia; you’ll see folded strata, natural stone bridges and stalactite curtains that formed drip by patient drip. Cultural notes arrive in small bites — a Churchkhela masterclass, Soviet-era Tskaltubo sanatorium ruins hinting at the area’s spa-town heyday.
Expect roughly a full day on the move (about 8–9 hours): short hikes, stair descents, and a 1.5-km cave walk on mostly even paths. The canyon boat is calm but narrow; the Okatse hanging bridge gives exposure and views — not technical climbing, but repeatable stairs and some uneven boardwalks require steady footing.
Practical edge: start with layers (caves are cool and damp), a good pair of treaded shoes, and water. Move at a controlled pace on the hanging bridge, follow guide instructions inside the cave, and avoid touching formations. Time your visit for morning light in the canyon and mid-afternoon for softer photos at the sanatorium ruins.
Yes — the tour provides round-trip transport from the meeting point in Kutaisi in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Expect moderate activity: up to 900 steps at Okatse, short hikes and a 1.5 km walk inside Prometheus Cave on mostly even paths.
