ENJOY THE BIBLE LAND'S CULTURE, HISTORY AND THE
EXQUISITE NATURE WITH KINNERET TOURS COMPANY!
Get acquainted with
the enormously rich history and the important sites of three
religions- Judaism, Christianity and Islam-, starting from
Jerusalem.
------------------------------------------------------
Pay a visit to the Jewish artist town of Safed, to the important
crusaders center in Akko, or enjoy the coastal line of the
Mediterranean in Haifa or Natanya.
------------------------------------------------------
Step into "biblical times boat" from the harbors of Kinneret (lake
of Gennesaret) and walk in the home views of Jesus in Nazareth,
Capernaum, Bethsaida, Korasin or Caesarean Philippi.
------------------------------------------------------
Search the colossal sized palaces and temples built by Herod the
Great in the coast of the Mediterranean in Caesarea , in Masada of
the Dead sea or in Jerusalem.
------------------------------------------------------
Pamper yourself in the SPAs of Tiberias, Hammath Gader or Dead Sea.
------------------------------------------------------
Walk the ways of patriarch Abraham in the paths of Negev desert and
its oases, in Beersheba and Avdat.
------------------------------------------------------
Get to know Israeli, Syrian and Lebanese mountainous border zones in
the northern Galilee and on the controversial Golan heights. Fall in
love with the lush Jordan River springs.
------------------------------------------------------
Take a break to rest in the southernmost point of Israel - Eilat,
where the clear tropical waters of the red sea invite to swim and
dive.
------------------------------------------------------
Hike yourself nicely tired in the dry or wet canyons, canoe down the
Jordan River and have an unforgettable evening by the bonfire and
fall asleep in a Bedouin tent or under the star covered sky.
------------------------------------------------------
A "must" in Eilat is the underwater observatory aquarium, where the
red sea coral reef with its rich underwater life can be seen in its
entire splendor.
------------------------------------------------------
Experience the surroundings of Eilat, that offer unusual sights
to the hikers. Red Canyon suits as well for the experienced hikers
as to a whole family. Those with fairly good health will have
unforgettable moments climbing the "little Moses" on a half day
trip, where at one time they can watch from Israel the Jordanian,
Egyptian and Saudi-Arabian bare, and yet so beautiful mountain
ridges.
------------------------------------------------------
Join bravely an adventure on a bike, camel, horse, or a donkey-back.
Sit in the jeep in the desert or climb up the crater.
------------------------------------------------------
Israel is unbelievably richly varied country to travel.
------------------------------------------------------
We want to encourage young along with the veteran travelers to
see and experience the Land of the Bible and through that to
understand some of today's conflicts around the globe.
------------------------------------------------------
Because of this along the tours we explain also the deep
backgrounds of today's news and their connection to the different
cultures and the bible.

Kinneret Tours born by the lake
Kinneret Tours Ltd. was established in Israel and registered in
Finland in summer 2005. To pick the name for our tour agency was
natural, since from the time we moved to Israel in 1990 as a family,
we have had our home most of the time in the views of that precious
lake.
The urge to establish a new Finnish company came from the desire
to show the travelers also different kind of Israel. Many have asked
to have more in depth nature-and experience tours, meeting the
locals and stepping also aside from the traditional pilgrimage sites
to enjoy for example the various SPA resorts in Israel. Of course we
want to show the important traditional sites as well, but we wish to
make them more alive to the travelers.
The lake is actually a good symbol of the local's feelings. Their
anger can be raised quickly and it can calm down as speedily. It is
typical on the lake Kinneret- surrounded by mountains- that strong
wings can quickly cause a big storm. In the winter time blow the
south and west winds. Into this kind of crosswinds where Jesus'
disciples suddenly got while sailing from the east side to the
northern shore. In the summertime the hot and dry western desert
winds stir the lake.
The Messiah calmed down the lake. He wants to do the same to the
storms of the human mind.
We as a tour company wish to build bridges of peace also through
tourism. We want to teach people to understand deeper the bible and
its land, and to realize why is it important to pray for the peace
of Jerusalem, and pray also more widely for the entire Middle East's
peace.
------------------------------------------------------
Lev Hatsafon
One of the reasons to start the company was to enable the support
of new immigrants in Israel. Along the years we had noticed that
many of the immigrants aren’t able to find work fitting their
expertise or work satisfying their material or psychological needs.
A vision we have is to be able to build some satisfying working
places for them. Kinneret tours supports Lev Hatsafon from its
income.

The Kinneret Tours Family
   
   
The Kinneret Tours ltd. is a family company established by Heikki
and Susanna Kangas, their three daughters and their in-laws. The
family trusts the Bible to be spiritually, historically and morally
accurate book, inspired by God. Heikki Kangas has been working as a
special journalist on the Middle-East and as a guide in Israel,
Egypt and Jordan since 1990. The special interest (and for some
members the subject of university studies) of the family has for
long been hiking the nature and archaeology as well as the Biblical
and general history of the land of Israel. The same kind of lovely
experiences we've had as a family traveling, hiking and exploring
God's handiwork all around, we wish to be able to give our customers
coming to see Israel.
Sincerely
Susanna and Heikki Kangas
