Best way to get to Jerusalem from tlv landing at 10:00 pm?

Approx what would a regular taxi cost? Are these Jewish drivers?
A reg taxi will charge an arm and leg
A heimisha driver is around 180 shekels.

Can anyone recommend a good boating/water sports place in the north or on the way up north?
I've been told that Herzliya is a good spot but it seems hard to find something online..

That's who we are going with.
Was nice activity if you are in the area. Was not worth the drive from Yerushalayim.

What are you looking for? Acco has some tornado boats and slow boats for really cheap (15-20 Sheqel PP) There is a cruise from Haifa to Acco as well.

PFAF  :D
Good ideas for things to do on a day trip for a big anniversary, near Beit Shemesh? I am thinking of - winery (is there a Badatz one nearby?), easy hike at Twin cave, Escape room in RBS, IKEA Eshtaol.

Can also be Jerusalem or other places not too far.

Any additional ideas?
