Half-day hike in Mtirala National Park from Batumi. Steep forest walk to waterfalls plus a handmade cable-car ride.
“Beatifull landscape, super waterfall, nice trip. Super guide Sulkhani.”
A small-group 3-day escape to Tusheti’s remote villages, stone-tower churches, and high passes, with guesthouse meals and expert driving.
“It was a tremendous experience going to Tusheti with expert guidance from Jonah and exceptional driving by Vepho. The 3 day trip even with some rain went beyond our expectations. We highly recommend this trip for anyone seeking to experience another and different part of Georgia. Even with some rain it didn’t dampen the excitement of visiting the different villages. Jonah had expert knowledge of the area, which just added to the pleasure of the trip. Vepho’s driving was beyond perfection and his kindness showed when proactively stopping for photos along the way up Tusheti’s roads. Madloba! Jennifer and Ken”

Private Mtirala National Park hike from Batumi with door-to-door pickup, easy 6 km trail, lake and waterfall time, plus coffee or tea.
“If you enjoy a good workout in beautiful nature, try this tour with this company. Everything was easy to organize and I was well taken care of the day of the tour. In fact, I would have to say this was one of the best tour guides I have had in my seven month stay in Georgia. I recommend good shoes because at times you are walking up hill or down hill the trail gets a little slippery.”
A private wildlife day in Vashlovani National Park with birds, vultures, a short hike, and a stop at Shiraki’s Soviet airfield.
“We had such an incredible day with Temo. He was an excellent communicator ahead of time, arranging a box lunch and the permits before we arrived. His car was comfortable and roomy, with water for us. From the abandoned airfield to the hikes up canyons, we felt we fully covered both vashlovani and the surrounding areas. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The binoculars he shared with us were top-notch, enabling us to see birds at a distance with clarity. I would recommend this off-the-beaten-path excursion with Temo for everyone visiting Georgia: a very cool glimpse into a less-well-traveled section of the country.”
Private 12-hour 4x4 safari in Georgia’s Vashlovani National Park, wildlife spotting, Soviet ruins, gazelles, vultures, and sunset views.
“Vashlovani was the highlight of our trip in Geprgia. The landscape is different from everything we saw before. The tour stops at amazing viewpoints and includes small hikes to places not to be reached by car if you like. The guide knows great spots to discover wildlife. Temo was the most fantastic guide, passionate, very welcoming and patient. Communication was quick and easy and the trip excellently organised. He is an experienced expert with scientific background for the area, its animals, plants and geological landscape. He was happy to answer all our questions and explained everything to us in perfect English. He can even tell the bird‘s names in German!…”
