More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on a crisp mountain road above Bakuriani, engine idling, spruce trees leaning in as if to watch you go. The guide checks the machine, hands you a helmet, and the trail unfurls: rutted tracks, open alpine meadows and then the blue mirror of Tabatskuri Lake appearing between volcanic ridges.

Bring layered, windproof clothing
Temperatures change quickly between 1,700–2,000 m and wind off the lake can be sharp; a windshell and thermal layers are essential.
Hydrate and pack snacks
This is an eight-hour outing with active riding; bring 1–2 liters of water and energy-dense snacks to maintain focus.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe boots
Trails are rocky and transfers require sure footing; ankle support reduces the risk of twists and impacts.
Follow the guide’s safety brief
Machines are powerful and terrain variable — obey speed limits and hand signals, especially on steep or icy sections.
DOT-approved helmet
Protects your head during off-road sections and required by operators.
