Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The site is beautiful and recommended but, at the moment, because of restrictions of people in confined spaces, we waited for 1.5 hours outside to get to the cable car. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they distributed ices to people waiting in the hot sun. However much they tried to enforce the social distancing, the visitors would not adhere to the rules. I recommend arriving first thing in the morning to avoid crowds.
It was worth the wait though.

It is a nice place, but I think it is also one of the most overrated and overpriced tourist attractions in Israel. We arrived at 9 (when they open the doors), and got to the grottoes at 10. The lines are very long even in the morning and we had to wait mostly under the sun. The grottoes are nice but the water inside was full of garbage which is really disappointing. The whole grotto experience is not more the 20 minutes. After that we wanted to rent bikes, but after we had seen those very neglected and rusty bikes we opted for the golfcar. You can drive it to the neighboring Betzet Beach. But if you go to Betzet you can drive/walk the same path - for free. Going back we waited another 40 minutes (no shade).

To be honest, I was there a very long time ago, as part of an excursion, but I still have impressions and I really want to share them: Rosh HaNikra is a white rock that partially extends into the sea, thanks to which, (and also rainwater, wind, weather natural changes) - wonderful grottoes with water that seemed to glow from within were formed in the rock. The walls of the grottoes themselves are painted in yellow, beige, green, lilac, brown, and gray shades, which gives the reflections on the water corresponding colors in addition to blue.
In general, I would definitely recommend visiting this place, if only to add to the vivid mosaic of impressions from Israel, where there are so many more unforgettable places!

The rock formations are special especially with the very blue water. It is a good place to visit if you are already in the Haifa/Galilee region but definitely not a must. Visiting Akko might be more interesting and if you do not have a car it is also fairly hard to get there with public transportation.

We enjoyed our visit here but unfortunately came on a day when there was a storm and the surf was so high you could not really walk very far into the cave. Indeed, the waves were so strong, we got quite wet. That said, we enjoyed our visit and had a nice time and would come back in calmer weather if we are there again. Checking on the weather before going out to the area is likely a good idea.

We were here around 7 years ago, and we wanted to bring our 6 yr old grandson. We were lucky, predicted rain didn't materialize and it was gorgeous out. It is just a breathtaking place, as nice as I remembered. Parking is easy, the wait for the cable car down to the grottoes is quick. My grandson absolutely loved it all. We went to the little film, but it is all Hebrew with a bad sound system, so I understood almost nothing. It's short anyway. We did a second walk through the grottoes afterward, you can go in and out as long as you like. After that, we did a hike with our dogs down the hill to the rocky shore and explored. It is just stunning. To do that, walk a few minutes down the hill from the parking, you will see a break in the guardrail/fence and the trail goes down to the coast.

Rosh HaNikra is located on the northern Israeli border. Getting down (and up) to the caves is via a very short (and steep) cable car ride. The Grottoes are amazing, especially when there are high waves. Definitely one of the top attractions of northern Israel.

Beautiful site to visit with family and kids all ages. Your dogs included! The term to get down there is short and not scary at all. The tour is beautiful. Make sure you're coming with good shoes cause it's really slippery there! Don't miss this

Be prepared to queue for 1 hour just to get to the cable car, after you queued 15-20 minutes to get your tickets.
The queue is organised in a usual Israeli style i.e. not organised at all. People overtaking for no apparent reason, no personal space etc...
The grotto visit takes 10 minutes and is overcrowded with children shouting. Don't expect taking a good photo there, you'll either have in the frame tons of people, old construction equipment or plastic bottles floating in the water.
Then after 10 minutes of visit when you finally decide to get out and spend your day to do something nice, you realise you have to queue again another 20-30 minutes to get back up.
Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time, money (45 nis isn't cheap for a such a poor experience) and petrol to go there.

Is the site accessible for wheelchair?
Written 7 October 2019
We had someone in our party in a wheelchair. It is. There is a special line to the cable car. They gave us our own cable car for our party and the wheel chair. Once u r at the caves there r parts u can’t see cuz Ramps r wet and many stairs. But other parts u can see. Also the golf cart add on May be worth a look.
