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
