Overview

Four days is the right amount of time to see Israel's north without rushing, and this Galilee Golan 4 day tour uses every one of them. You walk where Jesus taught in Nazareth and Capernaum, follow the Mediterranean coast from Caesarea to Acre, climb onto the Golan Heights and end among the waterfalls of Banias and the old lanes of Safed. Every day is fully guided, and all three nights are at a kibbutz guesthouse in the north.

Day 1 visits Mount Precipice and the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, Capernaum on the lakeshore and the Yardenit baptismal site on the Jordan River. Day 2 covers Caesarea, the Baha'i Gardens in Haifa, the Rosh Hanikra sea grottoes and the Crusader city of Acre. Day 3 is a Golan day with lake views, ancient Katzrin and Mount Bental. Day 4 brings a look around the kibbutz, Banias, Nimrod Fortress and Safed.

This Galilee Golan 4 day tour works well for Christian pilgrims, history fans and families who want more than a quick day trip from the city. Sleeping in the north means less time in the vehicle and more time at each stop, whether that is a quiet moment by the Sea of Galilee, a baptism in the Jordan River or a slow walk along the sea walls of Acre.

Pickup is from your hotel in Tel Aviv at around 07:15 or in Jerusalem at around 06:00, and you are dropped back in either city after day 4. You spend 3 nights at a kibbutz guesthouse with breakfast, named on your booking voucher. Rooms sleep a maximum of 2 adults, so choose a double room for two travelers sharing or a single room. The booking form shows the exact price for your room type and date. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, the Galilee Golan 4 day tour is non-refundable. Want a shorter trip? See the Nazareth and Sea of Galilee 2 day tour, the Galilee and Golan Heights 2 day tour or browse all 3 to 5 day Israel tours. The tour currently departs on Mondays and Wednesdays, so choose an open date on the calendar and reserve your seats now.

Itinerary & route

Loading route map…

Numbers match the itinerary below. Solid lines are walking legs, dashed lines are drives. Map is for orientation only.

Day 1Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee
1

07:15 AMHotel pickup in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem
Tel Aviv hotel pickup is at around 07:15, and Jerusalem hotel pickup is at around 06:00 because the drive north takes longer. Pickups can start 30 to 60 minutes earlier, and your exact time is confirmed the day before. The route heads up the coast, then inland across the Jezreel Valley past Tel Megiddo, the biblical Armageddon.
2

MorningMount Precipice
Your first stop is Mount Precipice above Nazareth, where an angry crowd tried to push Jesus off the cliff (Luke 4:28-30). The lookout takes in the whole Jezreel Valley and Mount Tabor.
3

Late morningBasilica of the Annunciation and the Church of Saint Joseph
In Nazareth you visit the Basilica of the Annunciation, built over the place where tradition says Gabriel appeared to Mary. Next door, the Church of Saint Joseph marks the spot remembered as Joseph's carpentry workshop.
4

MiddayCapernaum and the Church of the Multiplication
Drive past Cana, where Jesus turned water into wine, to Capernaum at the foot of the Mount of Beatitudes. You see the house of Peter and visit the Church of the Multiplication, then follow the lakeshore past Tiberias with the Golan Heights across the water.
5

AfternoonYardenit baptismal site on the Jordan River
At Yardenit, where the Jordan River flows out of the Sea of Galilee, you can join a baptism ceremony if you wish. Later the road passes Mount Tabor, the traditional mountain of the Transfiguration.
EveningOvernight at a kibbutz guesthouse in the north
Check in at a kibbutz guesthouse in northern Israel, named on your booking voucher. Dinner is not included, so the evening is free. Breakfast is served the next morning before day 2.
Day 2Caesarea and the Mediterranean Coast
6

MorningCaesarea National Park
After breakfast you head for the coast and Caesarea, the harbor city King Herod built in honor of Caesar. Explore the Roman theater that still hosts concerts, the hippodrome and the platform of a temple that once watched over the ships. Drifting sand protected much of the city for centuries.
7

MiddayBaha'i Gardens in Haifa
Drive north to Haifa for a view of the Baha'i Gardens, 19 landscaped terraces running down Mount Carmel to the city and the bay. The golden dome of the shrine sits right in the middle.
8

AfternoonRosh Hanikra grottoes
At the northern end of Israel's coast, on the Lebanese border, you go down the chalk cliff by cable car to the Rosh Hanikra grottoes. Waves have carved these caves over thousands of years, and the water glows blue inside.
9

Late afternoonOld Acre
On the way back you stop in Acre (Akko), a remarkably well preserved Crusader city. See the walls and moat that turned back Napoleon, Crusader remains, the Ottoman-era prison and a market where families still live inside centuries-old buildings.
EveningOvernight at a kibbutz guesthouse in the north
Return to the kibbutz guesthouse for a free evening. Breakfast is included the next morning before the Golan day.
Day 3The Golan Heights
10

MorningSea of Galilee lookout and Hamat Gader
Set off after breakfast for a lookout above the southern end of the Sea of Galilee, with the Golan Heights rising behind the lake. You cross the Jordan River and climb past Hamat Gader, a hot spring spa the Romans used almost 2,000 years ago.
11

Late morningShalom Observatory
From this Golan viewpoint the lake lies right below you, with Tiberias on the opposite shore. It is easy to see why armies have fought over these heights for so long.
12

AfternoonAncient Katzrin and the Golan Antiquities Museum
Explore a restored Talmudic-era village built from black basalt, with its synagogue, houses and olive press. In the town of Katzrin, the Golan Antiquities Museum presents regional finds and the story of Gamla, a Jewish city from the Second Temple period.
13

Late afternoonMount Bental
Finish on Mount Bental, where you walk through old Syrian bunkers and trenches taken in 1967. The view reaches across the UN buffer zone, in place since 1974, to Quneitra in Syria.
EveningOvernight at a kibbutz guesthouse in the north
Spend your last night at the kibbutz guesthouse. Breakfast is served the next morning before the final day.
Day 4Banias, Nimrod Fortress and Safed
14

MorningKibbutz visit and the foot of Mount Hermon
Start with a short look around the kibbutz to learn how this shared community lives and works. Then drive toward Mount Hermon and the Hermon Stream, the lushest part of the north.
15

Late morningBanias Nature Reserve
At Banias you find the ruins of a Roman city dedicated to the god Pan, surrounded by forest, streams and waterfalls. It is one of the prettiest corners of Israel.
16

MiddayNimrod Fortress and a Druze lunch stop
Visit Nimrod Fortress, a 13th century castle on a hilltop with sweeping views of the Golan. The group then stops for lunch at a Druze restaurant, paid for on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Galilee Golan 4 day tour price include?

The price covers hotel pickup and drop-off in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, a licensed English-speaking guide on all four days, an air-conditioned vehicle, 3 nights at a kibbutz guesthouse and breakfast on days 2, 3 and 4. You pay per person, and the rate depends on your room: a double room for 2 travelers sharing, or a single room if you travel solo or want your own room. Rooms sleep a maximum of 2 adults, so a group of three books one double and one single room. The booking form shows the exact price for your room type and date.

What time is pickup, and from which cities?

You choose Tel Aviv or Jerusalem when you book. Pickup from Tel Aviv hotels is usually around 07:15 and from Jerusalem hotels around 06:00, because the drive north is long. Pickups can start 30 to 60 minutes earlier, and we confirm your exact time the day before.

Where do I stay for the three nights?

All three nights are at a kibbutz guesthouse in northern Israel, with breakfast. The name and address are confirmed on your booking voucher. Dinners are not included, so your evenings are free.

Can I cancel or change my date?

This package is non-refundable, because the hotel nights are paid in advance as soon as you book. If your plans change, contact us and we will try to move you to another date, subject to availability. Full details are in our booking terms.

Which days does the tour depart?

The tour currently departs on Mondays and Wednesdays. Open dates change through the year, so check the booking calendar on this page. On rare occasions the days may run in a different order.

Can I be baptized in the Jordan River?

Yes, the Yardenit stop on day 1 gives you time to take part in a baptism if you wish. Robes and towels can be rented or bought on site at your own cost, so bring a change of clothes.

Which meals are included?

Breakfast at the guesthouse on days 2, 3 and 4 is included. Lunches, dinners and drinks are not. On day 4 the group stops at a Druze restaurant, where you pay for your own meal.

Do I need my passport, and is there a dress code?

Carry a valid passport, since you may be asked for it at checkpoints. Modest dress is required at holy places such as the churches in Nazareth and Capernaum and the synagogues in Safed, so cover knees and shoulders. Many visa-exempt travelers also need an approved ETA-IL before flying to Israel, so check the official ETA-IL site.

How much walking is involved, and can children join?

Walking is moderate, with uneven ground at Caesarea, Acre, Capernaum and Katzrin, slopes at Mount Bental and Nimrod Fortress and steps in the Rosh Hanikra grottoes. Children aged 4 and up are welcome and pay the same per person rate as adults. The tour is not suitable for children under 4.
