 Day 1st - Canyons & Cave
The tour starts at 06:30 by picking up guests from their hotels in Batumi. The first stop is Martvili Canyon where
 we take a boat tour through the canyon and explore the depth of it along waterfalls. 
The next attraction is Okatse Canyon. This is the deepest canyon in Georgia with hung bridges and skywalks. There are 2 ways to achieve a bridge: trekking on a 6 km route and taking an off-roading taxi. 
Off-roading is a pretty impressive experience. Hiking makes us starving, so we stop at the local restaurant for a lunch break. The last spot of the tour is Prometheus Cave, which is 1,4 km long and is located 80 meters below surface level. In the cave, there is a hall of love where people even get married. 
Here you can enjoy underground boating. It’s cool, isn’t it? 
Overnight in Kutaisi

Day 2nd - Borjom-Kharagauli national park
The tour starts at 07:30 by picking up guests from hotels in Kutaisi. The first stop is in Surami where we taste Georgian sweet bread “Nazuki”. They show us how it’s made and give us some to test. Afterward, we visit the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park Visitor Center to get permission for the hike. As usual, we visit hike on the Footprints trail, but if it's not available we visit other tracks that are more or less 
the same. For lunch, everyone brings their own meal. Once the trail is finished we are picked up by the van and drive back to Kutaisi. We are back in the city by 22:00.
Overnight in Kutaisi

Day 3rd - Tskhrajvari & Racha
The tour starts at 10:00 from our office in Kutaisi. The first stop is the highlight of the tour – Tskhrajvari Mountain. We hike up to the summit (1590 M) to the church of St. George. From the peak, we can see the entire Western Georgia and Kutaisi. Once the great hike is finished we drive to Racha region. On the way, we stop at Nakerala Pass which is the border between Imereti and Racha. There are magnificent views from the pass to both regions. Crossing the pass we arrive at the shore of Shaori Lake. Here we have a picnic at the lakeside, in the wildness. We provide hot tea, coffee, and a mat for sitting on the ground. Everyone should bring their own food for the picnic. Fishing and swimming are available in the lake. Once the lunch is over we visit Nikortsminda church which was built in the 11th century. The last point is the Tskhmori waterfall, with its freezing cold water and fresh air. Then we come back to Kutaisi and drive to Batumi.
