Nature Israel Tours are trips created for people that want to visit Israel and are interested in nature, wildlife, and/or conservation and environmental sustainability. Our tours take you on a fully planned trip to experience beautiful natural open spaces that SPNI protects, as well as special urban nature sites where you can view native animals and migrating birds. Nature Israel tours are co-led by SPNI staff and feature SPNI sites, programs, and learning about the history and achievements.
