Before you ride down

A journey to where the sea and the rock meet

At Israel's northern tip, where the white chalk cliffs drop into the waters of the Mediterranean, one of the country's loveliest natural wonders lies hidden. Over thousands of years the sea waves, the rainwater and nature shaped the rocks, creating a striking system of sea grottoes, natural passages and enchanting chambers. On every visit the grottoes look a little different: the colours of the water change, the light enters at new angles, and the sea goes on sculpting the place at this very moment.

An experience for every sense

You hearThe roar of the waves breaking into the grottoes
You seeTurquoise and deep blue water beside white chalk cliffs
You feelThe wind, the spray and the salt air
You photographOne of the most striking views in Israel

Not to be missed

Elephant RockOne of the site's best-known landmarks. A natural rock formation carved by the sea over many years, shaped like an elephant's leg.
Fossil CliffAt the end of the route a white cliff awaits, holding fossils millions of years old. Look closely, you may make out the remains of ancient starfish.
The PipesLong grooves carved into the cliff, further evidence of the sea's unceasing power.

The cable car, where the experience begins

Even before you enter the grottoes, one of the attractions most identified with Rosh Hanikra awaits you. The cable car, among the steepest in the world, descends from about 70 metres above sea level at an angle of 60 degrees, and offers a striking panoramic view over the Mediterranean, the cliffs and the coastline along the way. It is not merely a way to reach the grottoes, it is an experience in itself.

A photography tip: on the way down and back up, stop for a moment, look at the horizon and take a photo. At every hour of the day the light makes a different picture, and no two visits look the same.

An experience after sunset too

When the sun sets, the grottoes take on an entirely different character. The distinctive lighting, the murmur of the waves and the mysterious atmosphere create a one-of-a-kind experience, letting you meet the place from another angle on the lantern tours.
