Experience the ultimate helicopter tour of Israel with the Grand Helicopter tour! Depart near Tel-Aviv and take in the breathtaking views of Israel’s stunning coastline, with Herzliyah’s high-tech center and Netanya’s scenic seafront. Fly inland to witness the biblical ruins of Megiddo/Armageddon and the lush Jezreel valley beneath you. Don’t miss the magnificent Mount Tabor with its grand Catholic church, and the outskirts of Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown.
As you continue your journey, the beautiful Sea of Galilee will come into view, allowing you to fly over its northern edge and see Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, and the estuary of the Jordan River. From there, your helicopter will soar up to the Golan Heights, where you will land near its volcanoes and embark on an off-road geopolitical tour led by a local expert guide. Next, you’ll enjoy a unique lunch experience with a Druze family and learn about their fascinating culture.
Returning to the helicopter, you’ll take off and hover above the impressive Roman cities of Sussita and Beit-Shean. After passing Jericho, you will land at the northern end of the Dead Sea and drive in a golf cart to the changing rooms. Taking a dip in the Dead Sea, you will experience its shooting water, black mud and an optional massage treatment.
Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, you’ll return to the helicopter and fly low over the stunning Judean Desert as you ascend towards Jerusalem. Passing over the city, you’ll continue above the Jerusalem mountains and the Judean low hills before arriving back at the landing spot south of Tel-Aviv.
This helicopter tour will cover some of Israel’s most iconic sites and landmarks and enable you to see them from a whole new perspective. You’ll sense the country’s diversity and complexity and appreciate a unique and unforgettable experience!
Israel is merely 8600 sq. miles (about the size of New Hampshire), and half of its size is wilderness.
