We did the extreme full moon tour - a canyoning tour in the middle of the night including a beautiful sunrise over the Dead Sea (wow!). Besides the adrenalin kick, we got professional guidance through exhilarating abseiling and night-hiking in the desert. Highly recommended!

ME and a friend did 3 tours with Gilad, Masada, The dead sea and the Bedouin tour and they were all just great. You can tell he really cares about everyone who goes on his tours and I would recommend WILD ISRAEL to everyone. Cant wait to go back.

We went with Gilad for a father/daughter adventure to the salt caves.
Trip included hiking, climbing, repelling (80m) and crawling though tiny cracks deep under the ground. we wrapped up the day with a fascinating visit and dinner with a Bedouin family.
From the beginning the interaction with him was great and very professional. From helping us chose the right program through sending great tips for a part of the trip we wanted to do on our own through making sure every last detail was taken care of and being punctual, friendly and sensitive to our needs.
I am a seasoned hiker and adventurer and was highly impressed with Gilad's professionalism and attention to detail, especially when it came to safety issues.
Gilad was great throughout the trip and adjusted the pace exactly to our need. we spent a whole day together and didn't feel at any point that he wanted to wrap things up or rush us in any way.
You can see he's the kind of person with a clear vision and mission, full of ideas, that constantly evolves and improves and I have no doubt that when we take another trip with him, it will be a completely new experience (Though I can't imagine something much better than what we had).
Highly recommend Gilad and Wild Israel to anybody interested in a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Can't wait for our next trip!

We did the salt cave tour with Gilad, he's just an amazing knowledgable and fun guide we were a party of 8 mostly young teens he was easygoing,supportive, safe and fun.
The hike is beautiful to get to the cave and then the rappel was a great adventure for all of us and the cave itself is just amazing the sheer beauty of it and of course getting all us out of the comfort zone in an amazing and safe way to enjoy the beauty of nature .
Thanks Gilad

We and our 4 boys had a great one day trip with Gilad and his helper Sharon (I apologize if if I do not remember the name correctly). We hunted for floods and found one beautiful running across road 90, we saw a salt cave and heard its story and we visited a Beduin family and listened to their story, visited their goats and enjoyed their simple and excellent lunch. Gilad is the amazing kind of tour guide who is vary knowledgeable in the different layers of the place and its people and is very sensitive while leading the trip very smoothly. Todah!! We are about to call him again and try to ask him to guide us in southern Israel during the Passover vacation. Shiri

I highly recommend going on a trip with Gilad!! Ive been to Israel about every summer since I moved to US from Israel and this has easily been one of the greatest trips I've been on! We went rappeling and I have a huge fear of heights! But these guys made it so much fun and made me feel completely comfortable! Gilad definitely knows his stuff! Definitely hire him on your next trip, it is really worth it.

We had a Fantastic off-road day trip with Gilat and his crew in the Judean desert. They were very knowledgable regarding the itinerary, the history and everything to make such a journey unmissable. It fits the soul and bodies of everyone. If you have an opportunity, thats the way to go.

Hello,
Do you still offer the Desert Adventure highlights group tour out of Arad? I see it on your website when I enter the link a friend sent me, but I don't see how to get there from your home page. We are coming in July.
Thanks very much -
