Private Jeita Grotto, Harissa Cable Car & Baatara Waterfall Tour
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Three of Lebanon's most dramatic natural wonders — underground, mountaintop, and gorge — in one private day from Beirut. Begin beneath the earth at Jeita Grotto, one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world and a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Rise to the heights of Harissa by cable car, where the iconic shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon stands at 650 metres above the Mediterranean with panoramic views over Jounieh Bay. Then head deep into the northern mountains to the Baatara Gorge Waterfall near Tannourine — a 255-metre cascade plunging through three successive natural limestone bridges in a scene so extraordinary it looks staged.
From sea level caves to a mountain shrine to a three-bridge gorge waterfall — three completely different landscapes, entirely private, entirely at your own pace.

What To Expect
Beirut
9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your private English-speaking driver collects you from your Beirut hotel and heads north through the Dog River valley — its canyon walls carved with inscriptions left by Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, and Roman emperors — toward Jeita Grotto.
Jeita Grotto
Descend into one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Two interconnected limestone caves stretching over 9 kilometres beneath the Lebanese mountains — the upper cave explored on foot through a soaring cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall, and the lower cave navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers of extraordinary natural beauty. An experience unlike anything else in the Middle East and one that sets the tone for an extraordinary day ahead.
