Wild Vegetation:

It is a gorgeous hike with various types of beautiful trees and landscapes. In the season, you may have the joy of being able to eat some of the delicious fresh grapes and figs from the wild vines and trees. We will cross the river over a lovely wooden bridge.

Hiking Amidst History & Nature:

Together with the stunning nature and flowers, we will spot some reminders of the old Syrian army such as an old tank that fell in the river, as well as a Syrian bunker located in a strategic point just above the villages around the area. We will have many options to play in the water and even to walk in the stream. In the last part of the hike, we will cross a Bailey bridge designed by the British and have a short hike where we reach Sha’ar Yeshuv.

Salt Wonder and Banias Hike

"Fabulous experiences-don't miss these!!! My teenage twins and I went on the Salt Cave Wonder adventure and the Banias Nature Reserve adventure. Both trips exceeded our expectations. Guy was our guide for the Salt Cave Wonder. He is kind and welcoming and immediately gained our confidence--something very important when you are about the rappel 200 feet into a dark cave. Once we rappelled, he guided us through the cave and stopped to explain all the interesting formations etc. He was more than happy to stop for pictures, so we could show friends and family. Shahar was guide for the Banias Nature Reserve Hike. He is also a very kind and welcoming person. As soon as I met him, I knew we were going to have fun. Given all the current demonstrations in Israel, we had to make a few slight last minute changes to our meeting time, but Shahar took it in stride and kept saying "no problem." He even brought a super fresh, sweet mango which he shared during the hike. He too was also more than happy to take our picture along the routes in various scenic spots. We never felt rushed during either trip. Ho often can you say that? The trips were great, and both our guides were fabulous, but what you really need to know is that this company wants you to have a top notch experience. They will make suggestions during planning that reflect their experience so that you don't make rookie mistakes. They follow up on all details, so there were no surprises. Both our guides even recommended nearby places to go eat after the trips. What more could you ask for? Date of experience: July 2023"

"3 Great days of hiking and adventure We had 3 great days of touring with Israel Extreme, with two different guides. One day doing the Via Ferrata, spectacular scenery, kind and patient guide. Second day was a milder hike on the Banias (on account of the extreme heat). Third was rappelling down the Jillabun waterfalls--that was a thrill! Great communication every time, very professional outfit. We will definitely use them again when we return to Israel. Joel H Date of experience: October 2020"

Frequently asked questions

Hiking boots are recommended, if you don’t own them, other sturdy closed shoes (sneakers) will be acceptable. Water shoes and sandals are not sturdy enough.
Once you have booked your tour with us, we will send you a confirmation and supply list email. It will have everything you should bring with you and it also has a link for driving directions to the Banias.
No, it’s right after the nature reserve. This is a more unknown part of the Banias. You can enjoy the beautiful river together with the landscape, but with much less people.
Yes, in the wintertime you won’t go into the water as it is way too cold. The trail might be a little more challenging because of the mud but it is still beautiful.
No, you don’t have to go into the stream at all.
It’s quite cold. It’s 14 degrees Celsius (57 degrees Fahrenheit) all year round.
You can see very impressive Syrian tank that fell into the river, Syrian bunkers from before 1967 when they were in control of the land, wildlife such as birds and fish, huge trees, and the strong current in the stream.
