About this experience
Relax on a sightseeing cruise which takes you out into the Mediterranean Sea for panoramic views of the dramatic skyline of Tel Aviv with its modern high-rises, the historic skyline of Jaffa with its mosques and churches.
The cruise departs from the ancient historic harbor of the Port of Jaffa, with its old-world allure and weathered stone pathways. Once on the cruise, you then get to take in the diverse beauty and skylines along the coast.
The cruise is on a bi-level boat, with seating and music playing on both levels. The upper level is shaded, to protect you from the sun, but with open sides to allow for uninterrupted views of the coastline.
