Martvili canyon prometheus cave tour from Tbilisi is a full-day journey deep into western Georgia, combining two of the country's most extraordinary natural wonders.

Martvili Canyon Prometheus Cave Tour — What to Expect

The trip combines the illuminated underground chambers of Prometheus Cave with the turquoise waters of Martvili Canyon in a single private day.

Your day begins with an early departure from Tbilisi toward the **Imereti region**. The first stop is **Prometheus Cave**, one of the largest and most spectacular cave systems in Georgia.

Inside, dramatic stalactite formations are lit in soft colours, and the visit ends with a short underground boat ride along a quiet subterranean river.

From there, continue to **Martvili Canyon**, where the Abasha River has carved a narrow gorge of striking turquoise-green water through dense forest.

Walk along wooden platforms suspended above the canyon walls, then finish with a peaceful boat ride through the canyon itself — one of the most photographed locations in the country.

This martvili canyon prometheus cave tour is entirely private, with a comfortable vehicle and professional driver-guide throughout the day.

Fuel, all boat rides, and entrance tickets at both locations are included in the price — no extra payments needed on site.

Given the distance from Tbilisi, this is a long day. The drive takes roughly 3.5-4 hours each way, making the round trip around 11-12 hours in total.

Both sites are open year-round. The boat ride at Martvili is weather-dependent, and heavy rain can occasionally pause it for safety.

Spring and early summer bring the most vivid turquoise colour to the canyon water. Prometheus Cave, on the other hand, stays cool year-round regardless of season.

Comfortable walking shoes are worth packing for the canyon's wooden platforms. A light jacket also helps, since the cave stays cool even in summer heat.

Every martvili canyon prometheus cave tour we run is fully customisable — extend it, combine it with other stops, or simply relax and let your driver handle the pace.
Very few operators offer a genuinely private martvili canyon prometheus cave tour departing directly from Tbilisi.

Most visitors reach these sites as part of a shared group tour from Kutaisi, often with long waits for boat rides and a rushed schedule.

With a private vehicle and driver-guide, your pace is entirely your own — no waiting on other travellers, no fixed group schedule.

This tour pairs well with our 6-day Georgia family tour for travellers wanting to see these sites as part of a longer itinerary.
