You need to buy a ticket at the Business Center, it costs 20 lari per person. You can pay with both a card and cash. You will not be allowed to enter the canyon without a ticket.
Then there is a choice: walk, drive with bombs in a jeep, drive in your own car.
We chose bombed, but we could have driven ourselves.
Walking is normal for people in good shoes and in good physical shape. It's a 40-minute walk to the canyon, and a little longer back, because it's uphill. There are many stairs on the canyon itself, but if you are not in a hurry, then it will be comfortable at your own pace.
If you go with bombs, then it will save you a lot of time and nerves. But not money, they start offering a price from GEL 120, but you can bargain up to 50. Do not hesitate to bargain, they are not shy about earning money from you. They only accept cash. To prove that the road is difficult, they will take you through the forest and potholes, it will resemble a strange safari. The driver will take you to the place, wait as long as necessary and pick you up at the entrance.
By car: if you go back a little lower from the visitor center there is an asphalt road to the canyon. They say it is an ordinary mountain, it is suitable even for a prius. There are very narrow areas and streamers, be careful.
We were in a rented car and decided not to take any chances. We found a couple of guys and drove with a driver for GEL 50 per couple.
The canyon itself is very beautiful. The iron "path" along which you walk is held directly behind the rock by cables, and above the canyon itself it is "transparent". I'm not afraid of heights, but even I felt a little bit inside.
Very. A lot. A ladder. It was very difficult for me to get up, but I am a completely unprepared person with sore knees. But it was worth it.
We were in October. It's wet and raining in disguise. But when we got to the information center, the rain stopped and we decided to go there. It's a great place. Even in non-sunny weather. After the repair, everything is new, very reliable fasteners. You forget that you're walking over a cliff. I advise you to take a local driver to Delica, especially if it is damp because it is not very easy to get to the canyon, and especially then return. It cost us 50lari/person and we did not regret it at all. Yes, there is a road to the canyon on the map and it seems to be asphalt, but your car must have bridge locks to overcome the reverse climb, and even with them in wet weather it will not be easy.
We visited the Okatse Canyon observation deck with our family and were satisfied. The view from the platform over the abyss is really impressive. You need to walk to the place, including stairs, but it's worth it. The path to the playground is picturesque, there are greenery and grazing horses around, it is easy to walk along it. It is better for people who are afraid of heights to refrain from visiting, but I highly recommend it to others.
