5.Private Hiking Tour to Mtirala National Park from Batumi

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $42Best value

Leave your Batumi hotel with guide Beka and driver Mamuka for a private hike in Mtirala National Park. The roughly 6-kilometer Chestnut Trail leads to a lake and waterfall, with time for tea, coffee, or a swim stop. The walk is rated easy, though wet slopes call for sturdy shoes.

“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.”
