I love the Dolphin Reef and no visit to Eilat is complete without a few hours spent soaking up the sun with your feet in the water here. The sand is gorgeous, as is the beautiful ocean, and it's just a very chilled out place. If you're lucky enought to get a touch a dolphin then even better because they're... More

We have been coming to Eilat for years and always visit this place. On previous trips we have done the assisted diving with the dolphins which was amazing and the spa session in their several internal pools of different salinities which give you different feelings of weightlessness. This year we just went for a swim in the deep water near... More

This is a lovely spot and we did the 30 mins swim with dolphins. Only trouble was, it was mating season, so the dolphins were more into showing off and swimming amongst themselves than interacting with us: they swam past a few times under water when we were snorkelling but that was about it. We were there in May, but... More

Very professional and helpful staff, renting excellent equipment. It is a thrilling thing to do, but I preferred activities more in the nature like the desert or snorkelling in the reef. However especially for kids a great thing to do. I don't know about the rating by sea biologists, as the dolphins are no more allowed outside. More
