Private Jeita, Harissa & Baatara Waterfall | Day Trip Beirut
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Underground, above the clouds, and standing at the edge of a three-bridge waterfall that exists nowhere else on earth — this private day trip from Beirut packs three of Lebanon's most dramatic natural experiences into eight hours without breaking a sweat. Well, almost without breaking a sweat.
Jeita Grotto kicks off the day the right way — inside one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world, a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The Harissa cable car takes you from sea level to 650 metres above the Mediterranean in 20 minutes of pure aerial views. And Baatara Gorge Waterfall delivers the finale — a 255-metre cascade plunging through three successive natural limestone bridges in a phenomenon found nowhere else on earth. If you only have one day to see what Lebanese nature can do — this is the day.

What To Expect
Beirut
9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your driver picks you up from your Beirut hotel and heads north through the Dog River valley — Jeita Grotto is 30 minutes away and the day starts underground.
Jeita is one of those places that everybody says is incredible and turns out to actually be incredible — which is rarer than you think. A UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature, the upper cave is explored on foot through a world of stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall that took millions of years to build. The lower cave is navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers of extraordinary natural beauty. You come out the other end having seen one of the most remarkable natural spaces on the planet — 30 minutes from where you had breakfast.

5.00It was a great experience! The tour allowed me to see some of the most beautiful sights of this land. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, I really enjoyed our chats between stops, he went the extra mile by taking me to some beautiful, less popular places, and gave me useful tips for my stay in beirut. It felt like a road trip with a lebanese friend!

5.00We did this amazing day trip today in August 2025 and I have to say that this was one of the best organized trip ( and travel experience) in our very experienced life :) The places that we visited (Jeita Grotto, Lady of Lebanon, Byblos city) was a huge experience and joy, but it was more memorable and fun with our professional guide , Albert, who told us not just all the important historical story of the country and city but all of that we have to know about the sights :) Also the transportation ( he was the driver too) and the car was absolutely fantastic! We strongly recommend to anyone this tour and we will book another trip right now haha! Ps: we dont feel at all that Lebanon is not safe to visit, so think of it if you love nature, culture and the best food:) Thanks again!
Beautiful sights of Lebanon 🇱🇧
