This is our first visit here in 20 years, and we weren't disappointed. There is a "hanging path" over the stream, the roar of the water is deafening yet very soothing, and the views of the stream and the waterfall are stunning. The water is actually blue, and so clear you can see the fish swimming in the rapids. Paths are well marked and safe. While covid-19 restrictions persist, you need to book on the website. Well worth the visit.

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!

You can't get any more water on your water hike than t Majrasa: The stream *is* the trail. You wade/swim through the beautiful Majrasa/Daiyot stream. It starts off as a narrow shaded wading stream and widens out into lovely wide open pools perfect for swimming. Bring a lunch and relax afterwards at one of the many tables in the shady olive tree groves along the banks.

I have hiked this trail several times since the first time in 1981, but this was the first time in about 10 years. One of my (and many others') favorites. The staff at the station are professional and polite. The trail is well marked, and maintained, and not much harder than ten years ago (although much easier than in the 80's when the trail was free, with scant markings and 0 maintenance). Green all year, the stream is running even after a long dry summer. Lots of shade, lots of quiet spots to dip your feet. Its very popular with schools for field trips and is packed in the summer. Early November is a perfect time weather-wise and we only met 2 school outings, and had the trail mostly to ourselves. And, despite advanced age and a seriously bad back, we still managed the 3 hour trail in just over 3 hours! Looking forward to doing it again in 2029!
