EXTREMELY UNCERTAIN!!!!
I do not recommend anyone to go there due to the EXTREMELY unsafe conditions. You just have to slip or trip once and fall right down the slope. This place must not be made accessible without railings. It's only a matter of time before something happens that could have been avoided. The way there is simply extremely uncertain. I ask the Lebanese government to act and act here. In Europe, such an unsafe place would NEVER be allowed and banned immediately. Doe question is not if something will happen, but when! Too bad because the place is beautiful. But if you're constantly afraid to fall down, you can't enjoy the view
Response from the operator: Response from Lebanon Tours Online: We’re sorry, but this review does not reflect any experience with our company. The person who posted it did not join any of our tours or book any service with Lebanon Tours Online. We believe this is a suspicious or misleading comment, possibly written by a competitor attempting to damage our excellent reputation. Our tours always prioritize safety and comfort, and we have consistently received outstanding feedback from our verified guests. We kindly ask Tripadvisor to verify this review, as it does not represent an authentic experience with our team.

Amazing scenary and amazing people, the guide and Julia, the girl I shared the tour with.
I loved the experience. I did the tour with a German majisima girl and with a guide, Fady, exceptional. The 3 visits I loved and Fady who has always been super friendly has recommended us a restaurant to eat overlooking the fabulous port. We've eaten from the cinema for a very cheap price. Lebanese gastronomy I loved. Do not hesitate to book with this Enterprise and if you have Fady as a guide you will be in the best hands, good driver and very pleasant has given us good conversation about Lebanon and its people. Thank you Fady for making this excursion so enjoyable and thank you Julia, I have really enjoyed your company.

Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beirut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beirut is not rushed.
Is Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beirut can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beirut and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beirut within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beirut?
+
On Outty we rank every Beirut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Small-Group Tour to Baalbek, Anjar and Ksara with Lunch, Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch, Jeita Grotto, Harisa & Byblos: Small Group Tour with Hotel pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beirut?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beirut?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation. Not included: All Fees and Taxes; Airport Pick-up (Including parking): $20; and Airport Drop off: $10. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Beirut. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour offered in?
+
