The Enguri Dam, rising 271 meters from the Enguri River, is one of the tallest concrete arch dams in the world. But it’s not just about scale, it’s also about beauty. This private half-day trip takes you on a relaxed loop up from Zugdidi to the dam itself and along the reservoir edge, offering panoramic canyon views, peaceful roadside photo spots, and a taste of Samegrelo’s natural energy.
Your local driver handles the road while you enjoy a flexible schedule. We’ll stop at key viewpoints and let you take your time soaking in the scenery. It’s a perfect short outing for travelers headed to or from Svaneti, or anyone based in Zugdidi looking for an easy escape into nature. Pickup is available from any location in Georgia.
Book your scenic driveAfter a short ride out of Zugdidi, we reach the Enguri Dam overlook, perfect for photos and learning a bit about how this massive project supplies power to Georgia and Abkhazia. From there, we can continue along the reservoir for cliffside views and quiet stops at roadside platforms. The water’s turquoise hue and steep banks make this a striking and often surprising landscape.
Whether you're in a compact car or 4x4 (depending on conditions), the ride is smooth and fully private. We pause as often as you’d like, for photos, stretching, or just admiring the view. If you’re continuing to Svaneti afterward, this tour is a great scenic warm-up.
Expect the full round-trip to take 2.5 to 4 hours depending on stops. Pricing starts at $85 per vehicle. You can add optional detours or combine this with a ride onward to Mestia, Batumi, or elsewhere for a scenic transfer.
The ride to Enguri isn’t just a drive, it’s a story of water, mountains, and modern history. Whether you’re curious about engineering, love photography, or just want a few quiet hours near the water, we’ll guide you there and back with no rush. Pickup from anywhere, Zugdidi, the coast, or deeper inland.
