Canyoning and Rappelling in Israel |
Did you know that Dead Sea coast has more than 50 Canyons? |
When you visit Israel, the first thing that might surprise you a bit is a large amount of "canyons" in each big city. "Canyon" in Hebrew means "the Mall" and Israelis often joke that they do "canyoning" at least twice a week - meaning shopping :-) The truth is that the real canyoning with rappelling the high slopes in various canyons throughout Israel is one of the most popular adventure activities in Israel (in addition to shopping). Everybody can do this: small children and even not too much sporty adults.

Canyoning in Israel has its own "trademarks" such as Dead Sea dry canyons with heights up to 120m and breathtaking views all over, the multi-color canyons in Eilat Mountains, Golan Heights' basalt "pearls" with streaming water all year round and many more. |
What makes canyoning so popular among different kinds of people in Israel?
It's the spirit of action, positive emotions, challenge of body and soul. Facing the obstacles and overcoming them raises the self-esteem, people learn to be strong and open minded. Canyoning is easy to do. It doesn't need any previous experience or special skills. Canyoning can be done with family and friends in different age ranges and physical condition. And the most important thing is that canyoning brings humans closer to the nature. |
Most of the people prefer canyoning tours with the guidance of professional instructors who use certificated equipment and basically "know the job". Instructor always find an individual approach to every participant because great "adventures" are often very well planned and positive experience makes the whole trip memorable.

It's the details that make difference. Canyoning can just wash away all the routine problems and bothering things "in the city" and give a good positive energy to return to everyday life and see those things in a whole different perspective.
Girls who want "to check" the guys for being a real "knight" can easy see it in canyoning trip. In many situations in the mountains people show their real characters and behavior. No masks. No "show off". Everything is real, exciting and sometime frightening. But dealing with personal fears through enjoyable experience is the best way to discover your real self. |

Canyoning in Israel is a year round activity. Only the places change. In late autumn, winter and spring the best place for canyoning is Dead Sea area. The weather is cool, the canyons are great and high, the views are unforgettable and as a bonus the salty waters of Dead Sea is within a walking distance from the ending point of the trip. |
