Black Canyon

This is a full-day adventure in a deep canyon of volcanic stone. This unmarked hike in a closed national park is reserved for groups led by licensed tour guides only. This hike includes a lot of climbing over huge lava boulders and is not on a standard trail. Once we enter the canyon, we will be navigating through the jungle, not along paths. On this exhilarating and captivating tour through the lush, wild jungle of the Golan Heights, you will see beautiful birds, small animals, and lots of water! Ninety percent of this hike is near or in water, from ankle to knee-deep, including rappels through three waterfalls. Swimming and rappelling are required (life jackets are available). You need to be in good shape, but the good news is that it’s 85 percent downhill! Estimated time: Requires an early start, usually between 7-8 am, and finishing anywhere between 2:30-5:00 pm. It all depends on the group and their abilities, and how much time is spent swimming, eating or resting, etc.  One of the advantages of having a private tour is that the timing is according to your pace. There are great individual differences between groups, so it is very hard to predict how long each tour will take. Estimated Time: 6-8 hours.
