    A safe, fun, and informative day!

    The sights were truly a marvel and David, our guide, was so knowledgeable and lovely. We really appreciated his time and efforts to explain Georgia and its people. We especially appreciated the very safe drive — which now that we’ve been in other cars — has really been highlighted and sets this apart. Thank you!!!

    Fail

    It was not their fault, but because of heavy rains the night before, all of the attractions were closed. They could have called ahead and spared me two hours of driving. The guide was boring and had almost nothing to say.

    Response from the operator: There were major rains in the area at previous night. We didn't know about the situation at sites as they start to open at 10:00. Tour starts at 09:00. I would ask to remove a review as controlling weather is not in our possibility. So, it was not possible to have the information before the start of the trip. Sites are working at the time of the rain. So, it was exceptional case on that date, unfortunately.

    Beautiful scenery but overpriced and over-protective

    We got to Okatse Canyon at the end of a long day which included Martvili Canyon, the Hanging Walkway and other waterfalls in the area. Entrance price was the same as other places - 17.25 Lari, but IMO they should offer combo-tickets to this place because it's close to the others. The place was recently upgraded and walkways were added - but that was our main disappointment! Despite investing a lot in the walkways, they keep you far from the natural attraction you came to see, for no reason. With a little more thought the place could have been designed different to let people feel closer to nature instead of "herded along" on a metal walkway. The walkway is quite short and therefore overpriced

    Interesting Day full of sight seeing including extra stops

    Giorgi took is time to drive us from 9 a.m. till 8 p.m. from Okatse Canyon and Waterfall to Martvili Canyon and Prometheus Cave including a bathing break close to the waterfall and a lunch break during which he invited us to some ice cream. Additional to this "regular" programme, he even showed us a cool lost place sanatorium in Tskaltubo (where he took great pictures of us) and lead us to Sataplia national park which we had wished to see. Even after that he was always there for us via WhatsApp whenever we had a question for a potential trip near Kutaissi and also Batumi. His English is really good so that he's able to entertain with a lot of interesting facts and he's also open to explain Georgian culture and politics.

    Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kutaisi.

    How much does Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kutaisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kutaisi is not rushed.

    Is Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kutaisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kutaisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kutaisi and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kutaisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kutaisi?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kutaisi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kutaisi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
