Haritun Cave

Hiking through the glorious hills of the Shomron, surrounded by majestic mountain views, will ignite your imagination, knowing that this nature has remained undisturbed since biblical times. Archaeological ruins from various periods, some dating back thousands of years, are scattered across the landscape. The hills and caves, which have served as shelters for over 5,000 years, bear evidence of their history through pottery shards and other archaeological finds.

Our hike culminates at the top of a beautifully impressive cliff, 40 meters (over 130 ft) high, from which we rappel down to its base, where a year-round spring accumulates in a small cistern.

For those who prefer not to rappel, a hiking path is available.

Haritun Cave with Israel Extreme

Haritun Cave is the largest and longest limestone cave in Israel, covering 3,450 square meters (37,000 square feet) with four main levels, 55 'halls,' and over 4 ½ kilometers (2¾ miles) of tunnels. Our cave exploration through this vast underground network will lead us into pitch-black darkness as we crawl and climb through history.

Haritun Cave with Israel Extreme

We'll encounter a deep underground reservoir, once constructed by the Romans to collect rainwater, which has been rebuilt and repaired numerous times over the centuries. To access the reservoir, a narrow opening leads you down a ladder into a mysterious pool, softly illuminated by sunlight filtering through small holes in the chamber's ceiling. The atmosphere is both magical and unique!

"Patient tour guide for a wonderful experience I have acrophobia. Yet my guide beny was patient and encouraging with a sense of humor. When I rappelled down the 100 feet equivalent to a 10 story building, I was amazed. And then we spelunked through the haritun caves in some cases on our bellies. It was memorable. I look forward to do this again with my friends and family. He was careful about the gear and personable to make this experience an enjoyable one. Date of experience: May 2023"
