Dolphin Reef

Dolphin Reef Beach is a tiny beach with a 50-meter length that is located on the Red Sea coast south of Eilat. Adults pay 67 shekels to enter, while children aged 3 to 15 pay 46 shekels. On the beach, umbrellas, sun awnings, sun loungers and sun beds, as well as tables and chairs, are set up. There is a coffee and a restaurant. A vast coral reef with four bottlenose dolphins transported from Russia in 1990, as well as other representatives of the Red Sea marine wildlife, is located in a confined portion of the beach with an area of 10,000 m2 and a depth of 18 meters isolated from the open sea by a net.

On the wooden deck, beachgoers may stroll close to the reef and interact with dolphins. For a charge, you may dive into the water with fins and a mask.

Animals emerge from the water, making a series of greeting sounds and displaying total kindness and cordiality. Dolphins aren't taught anything. All of the antics they do for guests are entirely on their own initiative. They burst through the net and swim into the open sea when they are free, but they always come home after a stroll.

The Dolphin Reef attracts a large number of tourists with children of all ages. Adults (from 15 years old) pay 339 shekels for a dive, while minors (from 15 years old) pay 309 shekels.
