Eilat, Israel’s resort city on the Red Sea is a paradise for enthusiasts of water sports. Every imaginable water sport is available on the beaches of Eilat- a veritable playground for water lovers. A wide variety of activities offered on the beaches of Eilat range from jet-skiing, motor-boating, Banana boat riding (actually zipping along on an inflated balloon towed by a speedboat) to romantic sunset champagne and dinner cruises, sailing and sedate peddle boat rowing.
Eilat’s best known water sport is diving in the Red Sea. Home to the northernmost coral reef in the world Eilat’s splendid underwater preserve offers many ways to enjoy the spectacular reefs, teeming with rainbow colored fish, exotic marine creatures including moray eels, manta rays and even the occasional shark. Diving equipment and lessons are available and for non-divers snorkeling opportunities abound. Prefer not to get wet? Take a ride on a glass bottom boat or let the fish look at you from your dry perch 15 feet below the surface of the sea in Eilat’s unique underwater aquarium.
There really is a yellow submarine and it is located in Eilat! Take an underwater safari in a real submarine and dive 200 feet below the surface of the water for a once in a lifetime experience where you will see the reef and all its exotic marine life in its natural habitat.
Enjoy a wonderfully enchanting water sport suitable also for children and for the child in all of us as you swim with the dolphins at the Dolphin Reef on Eilat’s Coral Beach.
Additional water sports available in Eilat include water skiing, wind and water surfing, swimming and working on one’s tan on any of Eilat’s fine and well-tended beaches. Eilat is Israel’s sun and fun spot for relaxation combining magnificent desert scenery, clear blue waters, plenty of sunshine, and great hotel choices.
