Hike In His Footsteps

This is a Bible Study tour for a Christian pilgrim in the Holy Land that wants to hike His Land. This tour will bring the Bible to life and give you new insights that are better than gold and silver. The itinerary is updated according to the latest archeological discoveries and can be “tailor made” to your specific needs and wishes. The tour includes eight full touring days that combine visiting and hiking the most important biblical sights in Israel.

The group spiritual leader will preach where Jesus, Peter and Paul preached, and the group will have prayer and worship times at inspiring locations. You will experience biblical attractions such as hiking the biblical landscape, camel riding and desert camping, boating on the Sea of Galilee, enjoying traditional meals, and much more! It is a “life-changing” Bible Land Tour that you will never forget.

The Tour Highlights

Wooden Boat Ride

Enjoy an extended time of preaching, worshiping, celebrating, and quiet reflection on a wooden boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. The Scriptures that recount Jesus walking on water and calming the Sea will come to life as never before.

Herodian Quarter

Go beneath the houses of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem to see the remains of what many speculate to be the house of Caiaphas the Head Priest.

Cliff of Arbel Hike

This hike will give you an opportunity to trace a portion of the route that Jesus walked from Nazareth to Capernaum. From the top of the Arbel Cliff you will have amazing views of the Galilee region where Jesus spent the majority of His ministry.

Overnight in the Judean Desert

Gaze into the same night sky that Jesus and the Patriarchs gazed into. This is a unique desert wilderness experience where you can have fun and fellowship with your group around a bonfire and experience the best of genuine Bedouin hospitality.

Banias Waterfall Hike

This is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Israel. King David wrote Psalms 42 inspired by local nature. This is where Jesus asked his disciples "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” [Matthew 16:13]

Masada Sunrise Hike

Hike the Snake Path to King Herod’s mountaintop fortress where you will enjoy magnificent views of Jordan and the Dead Sea and watch the sunrise over the Moab Mountains. You will also hear the moving story of the siege of Masada, one of the final events in the First Jewish–Roman War that took place from 73 to 74 CE.

More details

I personally plan and guide each tour. The tour program is designed to make the most of each day [not a shopping tour]. We collaborate with pastors and tour leaders to ensure that there are multiple preaching and worship opportunities at incredible locations throughout the tour.
This bible study excursion includes many hikes, most of them short and of medium difficulty. The hike is for those who enjoy hiking in nature and who want to traverse the land as many did in the Bible. Participation in the hike involves signing a health declaration and purchasing medical insurance.
Our buses don’t just look new, they are new! They are fully equipped with Wi-Fi, USB chargers, and a water refrigerator. I also personally choose each bus driver for the tours.
You can choose between 5 star /4 star /3 star level hotels. We advise booking your trip as early as possible so we can book the most suitable hotels for you. I look forward to seeing you in the Holy Land!
