We snorkeled with Dolphins. If you want you can also dive with them. You'll get a wetsuit,a diving mask, flippers and a snorkel. A highly recommended thing to do.

A wonderful addition to a great trip to Eilat! The employees are friendly and helpful, and the price tag is negotiable with larger groups (like everything in Israel) :)

Best day in Isreal so far! Snorkeling with dolphins, getting that close to them and seeing them playing together is an icredible experience. While waiting for the snorkeling tour or after it, you can watch the dolphins from a platform or just swim in the sea (in an extra swimming area without dolphins). We have not called or registered for... More

There is a compulsory rule: the divers must respect the nature, the corals and the fishes, and they must not try to touch anything (even if fishes adhere you like your... More

You are not allowed to touch the dolphins (what might be understandable), but you aren't allowed to take your own camera, since they trying to take extra money for the photos they take. The instructions before diving is very very basic, not including how to act in a case of an emergency, and it is not a reef but more... More

It was a great experience to snorkle and swim with the dolphins. The people guide you well, explain about the dolphins, explain how to act in the water etc. And it is a nice place to hang out.

I booked a 2 hour session at 9 am for the relaxation pools. They are in a private area and there are 3 pools in which you float and listen to soothing music piped in under water. Its very soothing and the 9am session includes breakfast between 11am - noon. But while you're doing the pools, you can get out... More
