Nature Israel Tours

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.

Guided Day Trips

Guided day trips are short nature experiences for individuals and families already in Israel who want to explore local wildlife, habitats, and conservation sites. These outings are led in English by SPNI guides. Upcoming trips are usually posted on our website about one month in advance, so if you are planning to travel to Israel, remember to check back for updated dates and registration information.

SPNI Sites

SPNI sites consist of Start-Up Nature rewilded wetlands, urban nature sites, and field schools. Field schools are dynamic nature opportunities, offering hands-on environmental education. The Start-Up Nature rewilded wetlands blend innovation with conservation, and provide unique and sustainable experiences. Urban nature sites include the Jerusalem Bird Observatory, the International Birding and Research Center in Eilat, and Gazelle Valley; all of which showcase SPNI’s commitment to wildlife preservation and sustainable urban development.
