A Little About the Dolphin Reef Beach in Eilat

Dolphin Reef Beach opened in 1990, is dedicated to the vision of bringing humans and animals closer together respectfully. The dolphins at Dolphin Reef are wild and are not held in captivity in any way. They can come and go as they please with constant access to the sea.



The goal of Dolphin Reef Beach is to maintain three values: environment, society, and economics. For the environment, they want to bring humans and nature together through positive interactions and concerning the local habitat. They gain knowledge through scientific research that causes zero harm. For society, wants to lead by example, demonstrating that humankind and nature can coincide in peace. Lastly, for economics, they pride themselves on economic independence to remain resolute in their values and strategy.
