Adventure Experts Georgia is not a brand somebody invented in an office.
It is three friends who met on a student hike, kept walking, and never found a good enough reason to stop. Everything below actually happened — the mountains, the courses, the years of guiding for other people before we finally did it under our own name.
Three strangers, one trail
In 2017 we left the university campus for a weekend in the mountains. None of us really knew each other when the bus pulled out of the city. By the time we walked back down, that had changed.
Something clicked out there — the early starts, the cold mornings, the arguing over a paper map, the way a ridge looks once you finally get over it. We came home and the only thing any of us wanted to talk about was when we could go again. After that first trip, stopping was never really on the table.
October 2018 — a camp table, a chess set, and a peak that kept pulling us back.
From enthusiasts to experts
One weekend became every weekend. We went looking for longer routes, wilder rivers and deeper caves — and the mountains kept handing us reasons to take it all more seriously.
So we did. Course after course, certificate after certificate: rope work, cave technique, alpine skills, wilderness first aid. We learned to read weather, rock and water the way you learn a language you know you will speak for the rest of your life. Somewhere in those years we stopped being three friends who hike a lot, and became guides.
June 2025 — ground like this only opens up to you after years of courses.
Then we decided to do it our own way
For years we guided for other companies, under other people’s names. We learned a lot that way — including what we would do differently if the trip were ours.
Eventually the obvious thing became unavoidable: everything the three of us had learned belonged together, under one roof. So we put it there. Adventure Experts Georgia is what came out of that — not the end of a long story, but the beginning of a new one, built on every kilometre that came before.
August 2024 — same two people, a lot more certificates, still arguing about the route.
What We Believe
Local and real
We grew up on these trails. You are not getting a script — you are getting the Caucasus through the eyes of people who never left it.
Safety before summits
Weather, water levels and how the group is actually doing decide the day — never the schedule. Turning back is always allowed.
Small and personal
Private by default — your own group, no strangers. On select trips you can also join a scheduled small-group departure. Either way your guide knows your name, your pace and when you need a coffee break.
Beyond the postcard
We will take you past the viewpoints everyone photographs, to the Georgia we actually love.
The Three of Us
The three who met on that trail in 2017 are the same three who will meet you at the trailhead.

From single-day canyoning and caving trips out of Kutaisi to ten-day 4×4 expeditions across six regions, everything we run is built and led in-house. Browse the full range, or tell us what you have in mind and we'll build it around you.
