Fodor's Expert Review Dolphin Reef

Very popular with families, this observation point has a high admission charge, but the perks make it worthwhile. The highlight is the opportunity to walk on wooden paths extending into the water. You may see a dolphin leaping, but more likely you'll see groups snorkeling with dolphins. If you feel like trying it yourself, it costs about NIS 360 per person. The spacious, sandy beach is punctuated with billowing palms and bright tropical flowers, and chairs and umbrellas are available (arrive early to avoid crowds). There's an indoor café--bar to escape the sun, a great gift shop, and even a video you can watch to learn about dolphins.
