Difficulty: Easy
Kayaking on this section of the Iori River is relatively easy, on a category 1 river. Each participant will have their own kayak, equipped with helmet, life jacket and paddle. It will be more of a scenic flow, not adrenaline fueled paddling. The difficulty of the trip is the relative length of the route, so prior fitness activities are recommended, especially for the shoulder muscles.
Safety
All our vehicles are regularly tested for technical performance. From Tbilisi you will be transferred by A/C minibus or SUV (depending on the size of the group).
For Kayaking we use sit-on or sit-in non-flatable hard kayaks.
