Martvili, Okatse and Prometheus Adventure Tour
See all photos
Description
The town of Martvili would likely have remained obscure had it not been for nearby Martvili Canyon, a spectacular ravine carved around the turquoise waters of the Abashi River. As if to prove that stunning natural formations are more than just a fluke of nature in western Georgia, the nearby Okatse Canyon and Prometheus Cave will take your breath away with their intricately carved rock formations and gushing Kinchkha Waterfall, made all the more memorable when experienced on a suspension bridge at dizzying heights or while shuffling through the corridors of an eerily lit cavern.
Program
Tour Itinerary:
In the morning your driver and guide will meet you at your hotel in Kutaisi to begin your tour, starting with a drive to Martvili Canyon (48km, 55min).
- Take a boat ride through the beautiful rock crevices of Martvili Canyon, which tower up to 40 meters. The ride covers about 1 kilometer of river and takes approximately 30 minutes. Continue exploration with a walk through the canyon to discover waterfalls, bridges and observation areas.
- Drive to nearby Martvili Monastery (7th century). Also known as Chkondidi Monastery, its unique architecture, distinctive windows and colorful murals speak of the monastery’s rich history, while the site provides a magnificent view of the town.
- Depart Martvilli and drive to Okatse Canyon (25km, 30min.). Experience the wild, magnificent nature of Okatse Canyon, a stretch of ravines up to 100 meters deep, as you walk an 800-meter-long suspension bridge to reach an observation deck dangling above the canyon depths.
- Kinchkha Waterfall is just 4 kilometers from the canyon. Particularly gorgeous in the springtime, its cool, refreshing mists tumble from a height of 88 meters.
- Head for Prometheus Cave (45km, 1hr) in Tskaltubo. Also called Kumistavi Cave, it’s the largest cave in Georgia with six separate caverns open for visitor exploration. Walk through a 1400-meter-long tunnel as you enjoy the natural stalactite formations accentuated by colored lights and music.
Drive back to Kutaisi (20km, 30min). End of Martvili, Okatse and Prometheus Adventure Tour.

It was a very nice day, and our guide was great! Thank you very much.
Tour: Chimgan and Charvak Day Tour →We did indeed arrive home safely from this wonderful adventure. It was a truly beautiful trip! Everything was so special: the culture and nature. You realize how little you know about that rich history. The trip went smoothly. The arrangements were kept. In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the tour operator (the day before) promptly sent me an app telling me what time we would be picked up or dropped off. Everything was accurate. Credit card payments aren't accepted on the train ride through Kazakhstan.
