Nazareth & Sea of Galilee: Private Sacred Galilee Day Tour

Walk the streets where Jesus grew up in Nazareth, sail on the Sea of Galilee, and visit Capernaum — all in one extraordinary private day through the biblical heartland of northern Israel.

What to expect

Depart Haifa Port and drive east into the Galilee hills to Nazareth, visiting the Basilica of the Annunciation — the largest church in the Middle East. Continue to the shimmering Sea of Galilee for a traditional wooden-boat crossing, then to Capernaum (Jesus's ministry base) and Tabgha, site of the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. Your guide weaves archaeology, scripture, and local culture seamlessly throughout the day.
