The new structure was built by investment company Kass Group, which has been granted permission by the Georgian government to develop two square kilometres of the area into a tourist site.
Performers ride bikes on a zip line next to the 240-metre-long glass bridge.
Sitting at the bridge's highest point is a multi-level bar, which is bidding to be crowned the largest and tallest hanging structure in the world by Guinness World Records.
Made from glass and steel, the glass bridge rises to 280 metres and stretches across the canyon, which has been carved by the Ktsia River cutting through the volcanogenic rocks of the Dashbashi volcanic plateau.
The canyon is one of Georgia’s most impressive natural attractions, made all the more so by this new gravity-defying structure. Views from the walkway and bar take in the area's waterfalls, caves and vegetation.
The launch of the Diamond Bridge coincides with Georgia dropping all remaining Covid-19 entry restrictions for international visitors.
