Dolphin Reef, Eilat

Advantages: sea, sun and more if affinities
Disadvantages: lack of culture

...found it really spectacular and besides it was said to me that several films of the Commander Cousteau were made there. One can rent diving masks, tubas and palms at the office of the reserve, and swim along one of the 3 marked out routes. Labels planted in the reefs make it possible to identify the corals, the plants and some of the most current fishes. A small piece of advice: do not try to gather a piece of coral in remembering, you could have very big troubles... More in the South, we visited the aquarium and the underwater observatory. In the observatory, one goes down under the sea by a staircase and one finds himself in a large circular part whose windows give on the coral barrier; all kind of fish swim freely behind the panes, they are really gorgeous. There also exists in Eilat the possibility of making a ballade in boats... Read review

Advantages: Warm, Differant, Lots to do...
Disadvantages: Too much to do in a week

...Island for the day. A lovely trip to do, while relaxing in the sun, on the sea, in the middle of nowhere....great snorkling also is available at the crusader island in the middle of the red sea. The most popular excusion is to swim or dive with the dolphins. There is a family of dolphins living in the dolphin reef (a baby was born there about 7 months ago). What a wonderful, beautiful and relaxing place to go to, and you can pay extra to swim or dives with these amazing mammals. To swim you have to be from the age of 10...and a swim means to snorkle with him in a group of 6 people, plus a guide. Or you can dive with them, from the age of 8, a new diver or qualified diver...what fun! The sea temp is the same all year 22c - 23c There are all sorts of jeeps trips to do into the desert. Into the mountains themselves, or going to see... Read review

Advantages: Hot weather, water sports, and great hotels.
Disadvantages: All entertainment costs money!

...over the last decade or so, which is why all are made to look, and be as good as possible. My personal favourite hotel in this resort is the "Royal beach" hotel, with its own beach, watersports swimming pools, top notch restaurants, and luxury rooms. Eilat is also known for its wonderful range of water sports. From Jet skiing, and water skiing, to banana boating and paragliding, Eilat has it all, for a reasonable price. Snorkeling is also a fun little occupant, and Eilat has many corals with countless species of tropical fish. But, the feature of Eilat, not to be missed, is the swimming with dolphins. This fantastic experience costs about the equivalant of about £30, but it's worth it. You are dressed in swim suits, and snorkels, possibly scba diving suits depending on your request. Youn then go out into the dolphin area. The guides do... Read review
