- Ramon Crater Visitor Center - Makhtesh Ramon - The tour can commence here or at any other location in town. Depending on the weather and other factors, the adventure can start with either abseiling or a jeep tour. Feel free to express your preference. The abseiling activity is conveniently located next to the visitor center.
- Ramon Crater Visitor Center - Makhtesh Ramon - If the tour begins with abseiling, the meeting point will be at the site itself, right next to the Visitor Center. The duration of this activity will vary based on the number of participants and their comfort levels, particularly regarding the ‘fear factor’.
- Ramon Crater - After navigating the winding Independence Pass, there will be a stop in the sandy riverbed of Wadi Ramon, situated in the heart of the “crater”. Here, an explanation of the geology of this remarkable erosive cavity will be provided, clarifying why it is not actually a “crater”.
- Ramon Crater - The next stop will be either in the shade of an ancient Acacia tree or at a Stone Age archaeological site. Please inform us of your preference. On a hot, sunny day, the shade of the Acacia might be more appealing, while history enthusiasts may prefer the Neolithic site.
- Ramon Crater - Experience breathtaking views legally from the summit of Mt. Gvanim, offering a stunning panorama of the entire “crater”.
- Ramon Crater - After descending Mt. Gvanim, the journey continues along Wadi Zohalim, known for its beautiful colors and stunted Acacia trees.
- Ramon Crater Visitor Center - Makhtesh Ramon - If the tour did not start with abseiling/rappelling, it will conclude with this activity. Please let us know your preference between the options.

Boaz was an amazing guide... - Boaz was an amazing guide to the Ramon Crater. He was so knowledgeable and shared everything in a fun and interesting way so that the kids were also very engaged. Rinat was awesome in setting up and guiding us through the rappelling. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - We could not give this a better review. We loved the jeep tour and then rappelling. Both guides were so knowledgeable and patient and kind and we could not give them enough praise. We would absolutely recommend them to everyone!

Rappelling and Exploring the Ramon Crater - We were introduced to Adam Sela while staying at the Beresheet Hotel in Mizpe Ramon in February 2022. We did a combination of rappelling down the Machtesh Ramon and then a guided jeep tour through the crater. We felt very safe and secure while rappelling and it was a fun activity. Then Adam brought us into the crater in his jeep. We have a new appreciation for the rare geologic feature that is known as a machtesh, there are only seven in the world, as well as for the sheer beauty of the Negev Desert and its flora and fauna. Adam was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. He would be a good guide to call if you are spending some time in the south.

Amazing, Must Do, Best Private Guided Tour in Israel! - My wife and I were fortunate enough to have Nadev as our private tour guide. As Adam Sela's company is a family run business for many years, they really focus on delivering the highest quality of service with complete customer satisfaction. It actually did not feel like a rehearsed or orchestrated tour. It felt as if we were connecting with local experts on the ground, and having a conversation with a dear friend. Nadev used such a scholarly, intelligent, and thorough approach to everything he did we gained so much in such a short period of time. The day flew by, we got great photos, and most importantly memories that will last a lifetime. He is a consummate professional, subject matter expert, combat medic so you feel automatically safe traveling with him in case of emergencies driving around in the desert of course there were none, and does great terrain models with the desert sand to explain to you about erosion and how Ramon Crater came to be.
If you go to Ramon Crater - we 100% recommend that you go with Adam Sela's company, and ask for Nadev as your private guide! We give Adam Sela's company 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!
