Sea to Sea Hike with Josh Hartuv
Led by Josh Hartuv, one of our favorite Aardvark Israel tour guides, this tour will lead you from Sea to Sea in the beautiful north of Israel – from the Mediterranean to the Sea of the Galilee. Hiking in the small but diverse landscape of Israel is a true Israeli cultural experience in which every rock, tree, and path may have a name and a story that goes back thousands of years. This virtual trek is our backdrop for exploring sites, both ancient and modern, which had a lasting impact on the north and the rest of Israel.
