There are hundreds of attractions, religious sites (Jewish, Christian and Islamic) and untamed nature in the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee and Hula Valley - all 25-45 minutes drive from us. 

Our two ponies are not for riding (no insurance), but for petting only. Those wanting to ride horses and ponies can head to our friends at "Vered Hagalil" overlooking the Sea Of Galilee and offering excellent grill at their restaurant (8 minutes drive), to our valley friends at "Ayelet Hashahar" (10 minutes drive) or our friends at the excellent "Bat Ya'ar" ranch and grill, hidden in the forest 15 minutes away.

Ask us about donkey hikes at "Orcha Bagalil", or "Rancho Manisse" at Zipori (and say hi to Danny from our pony John), "Jordan Carriages" at Degania B, Jeep Tours at "Bat Ya'ar", Morris at Kahal, or Yigal from Rosh Pina. There's also air-sport at "Kanfay Hahula", off-road vehicles for hire at Dishon, Merom-Golan and Kfar-Yooval. And don't miss a voyage by kayak or inner tube (Aboovim) on the River Jordan and other waterways.

Wineries, fruit picking, cablecars, skiing, guided tours, Jeep tours, horse-riding and bicycling _ we know it all, and will provide phone numbers, directions and information about discounts.

Here are but a few recommendations for attractions and tour guides:

Good Drive ? Yigal from Rosh Pina ? Jeep Tours

In his open-topped or air-conditioned Jeep,  with bare scenery in the background, Yigal will tell you a bundle of stories from the history of Rosh Pina and the Galilee. Highly recommended!
