Georgia. The Big Trip

Whitewater Kayak Trip to Georgia — “Full-On Trip”

Kayaking is simply a good reason to visit the amazing country of Georgia!

A journey to Georgia is not only about mountains, rivers, and boats — it’s also about discovering the culture of one of the oldest countries in the world, tasting incredible Georgian cuisine, visiting monasteries and ancient towns, and meeting the hospitable Georgian people who can tell countless stories and legends about their land.

Georgia is a small country, but it’s incredibly diverse and full of rivers. To explore it properly — paddling and traveling through different regions — you need time. That’s why we created our special “Full-On Trip”: two weeks of adventure, kayaking, delicious food, wine, mountains, and unforgettable moments!

We will paddle on the best rivers at their optimal levels — from calm scenic canyons to steep Caucasian whitewater. You’ll experience the contrast between southern seaside towns and remote mountain villages, stay in local guesthouses, enjoy traditional dances, drink homemade wine, and try authentic Turkish coffee. These impressions will definitely make you want to come back!

Our journey begins at the airport of Tbilisi, Kutaisi, or Batumi, depending on the most convenient flights for the group.

Each route will be designed based on:

• current water levels in the rivers,

• skills of the participants,

• and weather conditions.
