More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold wind off the lake pushes at the jeep door as the vehicle drops down onto the Tabatskuri peninsula, and the water answers with a flat, glassy stretch that reflects the highland sky. Travelers on this full-day private jeep tour leave Tbilisi before dawn and cross volcanic plateaus, conifer ridgelines and the spa town of Borjomi, arriving at Tabatskuri Lake where the landscape opens and the air thins.

Highland peatlands and shoreline wetlands are fragile—stick to established paths, avoid disturbing nesting birds and pack out all waste.
