Just outside a kibbutz in northern Israel, near the border with Lebanon, is a natural beauty for all ages. The Rosh HaNikra Grottoes were formed from a combination of factors, both the harsh Mediterranean waves hitting the soft, chalky coast, and shocks from under the Earth’s surface ripping open the bedrock. As a result, caves and tunnels were formed. Filling with both rainwater and water from the sea, the Grottoes have radiant blue water all year round.

At first, the grottoes were accessible only to skilled divers, but with demand of the natural wonder rising, new systems were put in place. The steepest cable car in the world was designed to make the grottoes reachable to everyone. As the number of visitors kept growing, trains, bikes, and other adventures were made available to explore deeper into the caves and the surrounding area. The grottoes are an indescribable phenomenon, only believable once seen with your own eyes.
