Beautiful to look at, but a cruise on a "Jesus Boat" makes for a moving and memorable journey. Look up while on the Sea of Galilee to the imposing Mount Arbel. Life focuses on the sea, its history and the abundant food is provides, such as the St. Peter's Fish. Learn more about the unique geological and weather conditions that can turn this tranquil body of water into a raging sea. Such a treat to experience this Biblically historical Sea of Galilee!

Many early Christian experiences have occurred in the Tabgha area, yet this lovely church honors the extraordinary miracle of Jesus feeding the multitude with 5 loaves and 2 fish, as written in Luke 9:16, as well as other books of the Gospel in The Bible. Known for the beautiful mosaics in recognition of this miracle and other scenes, the lovely, peaceful church has a welcoming inner courtyard with an olive tree as its focal point. We enjoyed a hot cappuccino and snack before entering the church in the early morning, prior to the arrival of all of the tours.

Reviewed By outside67
Fantastic hike, few people on the trail, easy to picture lives millennium ago in the caves and more recent fortifications, ascend to the top from trail that takes you by the overlook, overlooking Sea of Galilee the entire trip... going up is a 7-8 effort level... rock scramble easily doable, especially since they’ve strategically placed iron holds in the most difficult spots... we did it in runners, many of the locals coming down had thin sandals... the exposure to wind, sun and vertical drops makes it seem much more of an adventure.... bring water, and apple and a hat. Tip: start at bottom and climb up... different perspective and much bigger sense of accomplishment than coming down.

The history of how this boat was discovered, recovered, and preserved is well explained and is amazing. The video is short and to the point. Seeing the actual boat on display was so interesting. This place is well worth the time to visit. And by the way, the gift shop at the site is one of the better ones.

Degania Alef, 'Mother of the Kibbutzim' is the first Kibbutz, established in 1910 on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and Jordan River. A fascinating social experiment in communal living, which has lasted more than a century. History, culture and heritage from pioneer days at the beginning of last century, continued by today's vibrant pioneers in modern Kibbutz living.

Tel Hatsor is identified with the biblical Hatsor – perhaps the greatest of the cities of the land of Israel in the Late Canaanite period
Reviewed By F5102ELbarbarar - Erie, United States
Tel Hazor is located in the Hula Valley, at the foot of the Galilee mountains. It is situated along the ancient road and linked the land of Israel thru Lebanon's Beka'a Valley to Babylon. Natural conditions led it to become the greatest city in the land of Israel of the Canaanite period. Hazor, consists of an upper city and a lower city. At one time, the city's population was about 15,000. An Irish scholar first identified biblical Hazor in 1875. There is a walking path, picnic tables, a lookout, toilets and parking there. Very interesting to visit.

The Tiberias Hot Springs National Park displays one of the most spectacular mosaics of ancient synagogues in Israel. On the site, where the Hot Springs of Tiberias flow, there is also a beautifully preserved 18th century structure of a Turkish Hamam.
Reviewed By denkamel - Melbourne, Australia
In the middle of winter on a cold and sometimes wet day, this proved to be a gem. A national park in Tiberias opposite the Kinneret with the remains of an old synagogue from Roman times, and small hot springs pools ranging from 30 to 40 degrees Celsius to dip into... just bring your own towels. The park thoughtfully brought lemongrass tea they had made to all the bathers, which was a real delight. Our visit here made a memorable day out of a dreary winter day.

It was a great spiritual baptism experience in the Jordan River. It is one of a kind to go with a tour group on pilgrimage. The Jordan River flows from the Sea of Galilee into the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Baptismal Site also known as “Bethany Beyond Jordan” or the Yardenit Baptismal Site) is one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage. It's where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. Thankful' that I finally reached the place where Jesus got baptized.
