Wild Caving Experience in Melouri Cave

No — this trip is beginner-friendly. A certified caving guide leads every step, explains technique in the safety briefing, and keeps the group safe throughout. You just need reasonable general fitness and a sense of adventure.

A certified caving guide leads the whole experience, with all safety equipment provided and safety-checked. Every trip is private — your group only — and starts with a briefing.

Not really. You don't walk through the water — you only step across it, and because we provide boots, your feet stay dry too. You might get slightly wet while crawling through the lower sections, but only a little. Overall you stay mostly dry.

You spend roughly 3–5 hours underground. Melouri has many possible routes, so your guide tailors both the difficulty and the length to your group — a shorter, easier line for first-timers, or a longer, more challenging route if you want more adventure.

There are some lower and tighter sections, though much of the route is through walking-height passages and chambers. It is a genuine wild cave, so it is not recommended for those with serious claustrophobia. Tell us any concerns in the enquiry.

You should be reasonably fit and comfortable scrambling over uneven ground in the dark. Please ask us about minimum age and suitability when you enquire, and note any health or mobility concerns in the form.

Wear old sportswear you don't mind getting a little muddy. Bring a change of clothes, a warm layer for afterwards, water and a snack. Helmet, headlamp, boots and caving overalls are all provided.

Yes — helmet, headlamp, boots and caving overalls are all provided. You just bring old sportswear to wear underneath, a change of clothes, and a warm layer for afterwards.

Yes. From Kutaisi it's about a five-hour experience. From Tbilisi it becomes a long full day — Kutaisi is roughly 3.5–4 hours' drive each way — so expect an early start and a full day out. Choose your pickup point in the enquiry.

Yes — every trip we run is private, just for you and your companions. No strangers, no mixed groups.

No — rain and bad weather don't affect Melouri Cave. Thanks to the cave's structure, even during heavy rain the chance of flooding is effectively zero, so the trip runs as planned in virtually any weather.

It can suit older children and teenagers who are comfortable getting a little muddy and being underground in the dark, but it is a real wild cave rather than a gentle show-cave. Tell us your group's ages and we'll advise honestly.
