Experience the Magic of the Dolphin Reef Eilat
One of the unique aspects of the Dolphin Reef Eilat is how it insists on allowing its resident dolphins to live as freely as possible. Unlike at zoos and other water-based attractions, the dolphins at the Reef are not trained to perform; instead, any interactions are on their own terms: they choose when and how to interact with visitors, creating a truly authentic and respectful experience.
As you wander the boardwalk of the Dolphin Reef Beach Eilat, Israel, you'll be treated to a spectacular view of dolphins frolicking in Eilat’s stunningly clear waters. Listen to their harmonious clicks and whistles and revel in the contagious joy they spread. It really is an experience that has to be seen to be believed!
