Every winter, tens of thousands of Common Cranes gather in the Hula Valley alongside a wide variety of ducks, eagles, and other birds. We’ll spend the day exploring the sights and sounds of Agamon HaHula (Hula Lake), then cap it off with a special sunset tour in a mobile bird hide to watch cranes arriving to roost with Mount Hermon on the horizon. Truly a magical way to close the year.
