The Kobuleti Protected Areas, situated in Ajara's Kobuleti municipality, lie just 2 km from the coast in the northeastern part of the seaside valley. These areas encompass the Kobuleti Nature Reserve and the Kobuleti Protected Area, which flank the banks of the Shavi Ghele River. Established in 1998, the nature reserve serves as a sanctuary for waterfowl and aims to protect their unique species.

Characterized by a diverse array of water birds, the reserve is a crucial location for migratory, nesting, and wintering waterfowl species. With its wetland ecosystems, ancient forests, and high biodiversity, the reserve was added to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List in 2021 as part of the Colchic Rainforests and Wetlands.

Kobuleti National Park features the sphagnum peatlands of Ispani 1 and Ispani 2. These educational and scientific routes allow visitors to traverse the sphagnum peatland using bog skis.

Three easy hiking trails are available within Kobuleti's protected areas: Ispani 2, White Moss, and Drosera. During birdwatching and educational-scientific tours, hikers can spot yellow and white humpbacks, four-meter white moss domes, insectivorous drosera, and terrapins.

The nature reserve is particularly popular among birdwatchers. During migratory bird season, visitors can rent binoculars for an unforgettable experience observing the birds.
