The park by night
A fascinating foray and memorable peek at the nightlife of Hula Lake Park and its secret places. With the help of night-vision equipment and experienced guides, we will look for animals, see where they live and sleep, listen to the special nighttime sounds of the valley, and hear fascinating stories and explanations. Sometimes, we can see animals just a few steps away from us!
In the dark of the night, surrounded by stars and the night’s natural sounds, we will see a natural gas well in Hula Lake Park, and toward the end, we will stretch out on mats around a campfire and enjoy a piping hot glass of tea, marshmallows, and light refreshments.
The tour lasts approximately two and a half hours. Registration is required.

Twilight tour
When day meets night, quiet descends upon the Hula Valley, the light softens, and the magic begins. The day-birds gather in their sleeping places with a last rush of wings and chirps. The creatures of the nighttime - swamp cats, owls, bats, and jackals with their special song, plus other unexpected visitors - awaken and prepare for the hunt.
This special guided tour, which takes place in a covered wagon, ends in a kumzitz with herbal tea and light refreshments.
The tour lasts approximately two hours. Registration is required.

The Botanical Gardens for Wetland and Water Plants
The Botanical Gardens at Hula Lake Park, which spread out over 30 dunam (approx. 7.5 acres), are considered to be the largest in Israel’s north.
A project of KKL-JNF, the purpose of the Botanical Gardens is to restore, rehabilitate, and preserve the special vegetation that once existed in the Hula wetlands.
Many of the plants have become rare since the wetlands were drained in the 1950’s. Some have been declared extinct.
Visitors to the park are invited to enjoy such plants as the European white water lily, the yellow water lily, and the flowering rush.
Entrance is free.
