Detailed Description
Day 1st - We start picking up guests at 07:00 and at 07:30 leave the city. The first stop is the Enguri water dam. After visiting the dam, we are heading to Mestia. On the way, we stop several times for taking pictures and to enjoy waterfalls and amazing views of the Caucasus mountain range. We arrive in Mestia by 13:00 and have a lunch break. In Mestia we visit the Margiani family house museum. The tour finishes at 15:00 at the Credo Bank of Mestia. At 17:00 we start at Chalaadi Glacier from The same building. We drive to the Chalaadi glacier hike starting point which is a bridge on the river. The driver waits for the group for 2 hours and 30 minutes which is more than enough time to hike to the glacier. Once all of the group members are back we drive to Mestia. The tour finishes at 21:00. 
Overnights in Mestia

Day 2nd - We start at 10 a.m. at Credo Bank - #38 Tamar Mefe St., Mestia. We drive to the village of Becho and take a 12 km round trip hike to the Mazeri waterfalls. Once the hike is over we drive to Kutaisi.
Overnight in Kutaisi.
Day 3rd - The tour starts at 09:00 from our office in Kutaisi. 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? Finally, when we are exhausted and full of emotions we go back to Batumi. We are in the city at 21:00.  
Overnight in Kutaisi

Day 4th - 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.
