Directions

  • There is no public transportation to or from Beit Guvrin so you will need to either drive or take a taxi. There is no taxi stand in Beit Guvrin so round-trip taxi rides must be ordered in advance.  The ride from both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv takes approximately one hour.
  • If you use Waze, please list “Tel Maresha” (which will take you to Parking Lot B after stopping at the park ticket booth).
  • Drive into the National Park (entrance opposite the gas station on the main road) and stop at the ticket booth to pay entrance fees. Then continue to Parking Lot B where our staff will meet you for registration and where your group and guide will gather. The activity lasts approximately 3 hours.
