“I booked a private tour to Mtirala National Park. Picked up from the hotel exactly on time by the guide Beka and driver Mamuka. Took us about 40 minutes to get to Mtirala National Park, where we visited the lake and the waterfall via the Chestnut trail. Easy hiking and beautiful scenary. The Beka, was kind, showed alot of knowledge and provided interesting data about the national park and local culture. Very fluent in the English language. There was possibility to do Zipline between the trees, but I decided to skip. Back in Batumi after about five hours. Recommended.”
