Outdoor Activities in Lebanon

Adventure in the air, on the water and in the mountains — Lebanon for the bold.

Lebanon for the Adventurous

Lebanon isn’t only history and hospitality — it’s a playground for adventure. In one small country you can paraglide over the coast, ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon, ride the rapids of a mountain river, or trek through ancient cedar forests and holy valleys.
Whatever gets your heart racing, we’ll set it up with safe, experienced local operators. Pick your adventure below.
From soaring ziplines and tandem flights to jet skis, boat rides and mountain adventures,
Lebanon’s thrills cover the air, 
the water and the mountains — pick yours below.
Two ways to book: our private day-trips (like Faraya and the Qadisha Valley) include transport and hotel pickup,
while our
on-demand activities (paragliding, ziplining, jet ski, boat rides, scuba and more) are the activity itself,
arranged on demand — transport and insurance are not included. All activities are subject to weather and safety conditions.
