Description
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.

For self-drive travellers who prefer to explore western Georgia independently, our car rental in Tbilisi is also available with full insurance included.

EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Posted on Google ENAS ELAMINTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family trip to Georgia was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel company to organize it. Everything was planned so smoothly from the moment we arrived until the day we left, making the entire trip easy, relaxing, and enjoyable for all of us. What really stood out was their exceptional service. They were available for us literally 24/7. No matter what we needed or what questions we had, they responded quickly and were always happy to help. It gave us so much peace of mind, especially while traveling with young children. A very special thank you to our driver, Rezo. Although he doesn’t speak English, language was never a barrier. His kindness, warm smile, and thoughtful gestures spoke louder than words. He was incredibly patient with our family, especially with our 10 month old son, always making sure we were comfortable. He was punctual every single day, and even on the few occasions when we kept him waiting for almost 30 minutes, he greeted us with the same smile and understanding. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care made every journey enjoyable. For our cultural sightseeing days, we were accompanied by our tour guide, Eka, and she was simply outstanding. She speaks excellent English and has an impressive knowledge of Georgia’s history, culture, traditions, and local life. Every place we visited became so much more meaningful because of her stories and explanations. Beyond her knowledge, Eka has such a warm and caring personality that we genuinely felt like she was part of our family rather than just our tour guide. She was wonderful with our children, always patient, engaging, and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Her passion for her country is truly inspiring, and she made us fall even more in love with Georgia. Thank you to the entire team for creating such unforgettable memories for our family. Your professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality exceeded all of our expectations.
