Your hosts will cook up a delicious meal to set you up properly for your hike today. Walking through the Beit Keshet Forest and along ancient Roman roads, today’s route will feel tangibly mystical.

The roads between Acre and Tiberias are thought to have been walked on by Jesus on his journey from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee—and you’re walking in his footsteps! Reach Kibbutz Lavi in the afternoon, where you’ll experience the unique offerings of the kibbutzim faith, including a kosher meal.

Continue along the trail to Nebi Shu’eib, the holiest place for the Druze community, then round out the day with a stroll through olive groves and unspoilt scenery to reach Moshav Arbel for dinner.

Day 6

Reach the Sea of Galilee

Overnight Location - None | Distance - 4–5 hours, 18.5km | Meals - Breakfast

After a pleasant breakfast, you’re off for the final stretch of your journey. Begin walking to Mount Arbel National Park to catch a glimpse of the sparkling Sea of Galilee.

The tour ends here, and a shuttle will take you to Tiberias.

Leave Capernaum feeling accomplished—you just followed in the footsteps of Jesus.
