Israeli Adventures for the Whole Family

We know that not all of you coming to Israel are blissful newlyweds or intrepid solo travelers, which is why we’ve gathered up our favorite Israeli adventures for the whole family! We go from North Israel to the south, and everywhere in between, with our favorite outdoor activities for kids of all ages. Adding one of our Israel family tours or simply browsing this list for ideas will help make your Israel itinerary the best it could be. If you’re looking for some things to do that are a little less physical, check out our list of family-friendly attractions, from fascinating museums to chill beaches.

Family Fun in the Center

With two of the country’s most popular cities, the bustling White City of Tel Aviv and historic Jerusalem, there’s no shortage of things to do in the center! You can access some of the country’s best beaches from here, take a dive into history or culture, and eat your way across local markets.

You can also head to the Dead Sea on our Masada, Dead Sea, and Ein Gedi Tour for a day of playing in the mud and floating in the salty waters, which is the perfect activity for kids. Be sure to bring a camera to snap some shots of the whole family covered in the mineral-rich mud for the picture-perfect Instagram post.

If you’re looking to see more than just one site, even if it is the lowest place in the world and a perennial favorite, our day tours to Jerusalem take you to all the highlights, both ancient and modern. Check out the Old City with all of its key religious attractions, like the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the bustling market of Machane Yehuda, where you can pick up some spices to take home with you.

To get your blood pumping a little more, try biking from the expansive Park Hayarkon to the winding streets of Neve Tzedek. You’ll hit all of the highlights from the comfort of your bike and head home tired but happy!

Whether you’re looking to chill or challenge yourselves, we’re sure you’ll find some great family adventures in the center of Israel, making it an excellent addition to your Israel itinerary.

Northern Excursions

The north of Israel, sharing a border with Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, is covered with rolling green hills, the sparkling water of the Sea of Galilee, and a number of carefully preserved national parks.

Want to add a little more adrenaline to your up-close explorations? Try ATVing through the Golan Heights, and we promise you won’t be disappointed. You’ll visit the cascading and stunning Banias waterfalls, enjoy a traditional Druze lunch and learn more about this mysterious sect, and get a beautiful panoramic view of the Syrian border. If you’re looking to get the kids out and about, you can’t go wrong up north!

Explore the South

Bedouins, sand boarding, and camel rides, oh my! The best way to complete your Israel itinerary is with a trip to the south, stretching across the Negev’s rugged expanse, over the crystal-clear blue waters of Eilat, or even taking a trip to Egypt. Enjoy some luxurious accommodations in between diving and relaxing.

Our single-day Negev tours are some of the most popular. If you’re looking for adventure, you can try rappelling the Ramon Crater and a camel ride through the desert, and if you’re looking to learn more about this fascinating region, you can take a visit to Ben Gurion’s hut and learn more about our first prime minister and have lunch in an authentic Bedouin village to learn about the nomads that have lived here for generations.

Petra is just a quick hop over the border, and we offer tons of tours to suit your fancy. Whatever your pleasure, don’t miss out on the treasures buried deep in the desert! Your Israel itinerary will be packed with sun-soaked adventures and green, lush beauty, as the Holy Land has something for the whole family!
