Ride one of the world's steepest cable cars down to the dazzling white chalk grottos carved by the Mediterranean at the Lebanese border — a scene of electric-blue waves, sculpted caverns, and absolute drama. At sunrise, before the crowds, it is otherworldly.
What to expect
A 45-second cable car plunges you down the chalk cliff face to sea level, where tunnels lead into a series of interconnected sea caves polished smooth by millennia of waves. Your private guide explains the geology and the WWII-era railway tunnel history as you stand on platforms inches from the surge. An optional small motorboat venture takes you right into the largest grotto arch for a close-up perspective impossible on foot. The short cable-car ride back up delivers panoramic views stretching to Lebanon.
Good to know
Rosh Hanikra is 30 km north of Acre — about 35 minutes by private taxi or car hire (approx. USD 50–70 each way). Book cable-car entry online in advance; grottos close on Saturdays. Allow 2.5–3 hours total; well within a day call.
