Jewels of the Carmel Coast - a nature exploration bus trip

Discover breathtaking views and fresh breezes as we explore two different ecosystems sustained by the streams that cascade from the Carmel escarpment into the Mediterranean. On the seashore, in rewilded wetlands, or at the top of the Carmel highlands, we'll glimpse how, throughout history, human ingenuity has worked in harmony with nature.

Our Tour Includes:

Maagan Michael Fishponds
Kibbutz Maagan Michael is a fascinating showcase of SPNI's Start-Up Nature rewilding project. The restored wetlands are the natural rest stop for millions of birds migrating every year from Europe to Africa and back. From dainty sandpipers to commanding ospreys, we'll get a peek at some of the world's most dazzlingly diverse birdlife while learning of the fascinating history of the area.

Ramat HaNadiv
After a picnic lunch we will go up to on the escarpment overlooking the coast to Ramat HaNadiv, the famous gardens opened more than half a century ago in memory of Baron Edmond de Rothschild. This site offers visitors from around the world both elegant formal gardens and majestic untamed wilderness. We'll explore some of the paths and enjoy the breathtaking views of the coast
