Overview

The Gems of the Northern Galilee and Golan Heights 2 day tour is a scenic, full-day experience that feels like two distinct journeys combined into one enriching adventure. Designed for travelers who want to explore Israel’s greener, quieter north, the tour blends nature, viewpoints, and local culture at a comfortable pace.

Day 1: Galilee Landscapes and Banias Nature Reserve

The day begins with pickup from central locations and a scenic drive north into the Galilee. As urban areas give way to rolling hills and open countryside, your guide introduces the region’s geography, history, and cultural diversity. This gradual transition sets the tone for a relaxed and nature-focused experience.

One of the first highlights is a visit to the Banias Nature Reserve, one of northern Israel’s most beautiful natural sites. Here, you walk along shaded trails and wooden pathways surrounded by flowing water and dense greenery. The Banias waterfall, one of the strongest in the country, is a standout feature and provides a refreshing contrast to Israel’s more arid regions. Time is given to explore at an easy pace, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

As the tour continues through the Galilee, scenic drives pass agricultural fields and small villages, offering glimpses into everyday life in northern Israel. These moments help connect the natural scenery with the region’s human story, adding depth to the experience.

Day 2: Golan Heights Views and Local Flavors

The second part of the tour focuses on the Golan Heights, a region known for its open landscapes, volcanic terrain, and elevated viewpoints. Stops at scenic overlooks provide sweeping views across valleys, farmland, and distant mountain ranges. Your guide explains the historical and strategic importance of the area while allowing time to appreciate the wide-open scenery and cooler climate.

A key highlight of the day is a visit to a local winery in the Golan or Galilee region. Here, you learn about wine production in northern Israel and enjoy tastings of regional wines. This stop adds a cultural and culinary element to the tour, balancing outdoor exploration with local craftsmanship and tradition.

Throughout the afternoon, the journey continues through picturesque countryside, reinforcing the sense of space and tranquility that defines northern Israel. By the time the tour heads back south, you’ll have experienced a rich variety of landscapes and perspectives in a single day.
