Outdoor journeys in Israel, the Kika way

If you want to spend time outdoors in Israel but do not want to plan routes, gather equipment, set up camp, cook and wash dishes, Under the Sky is for you. You get to walk, breathe and be together. I take care of the rest.

Under the Sky is a small family business, now in its ninth year. I organize day hikes, overnight journeys, family camps, trips on the Israel National Trail and tailor-made outdoor experiences for families and small groups.

These are not standard coach tours or a checklist of attractions. The groups are small, the plan stays flexible and the experience is built around being outdoors. We can walk at an easy pace or take on a more demanding route, sleep in tents or stay in one place, and adapt the journey to the people who are actually there.

The food is homemade, vegan and kosher. There are no trips on Shabbat or Jewish holidays.

A private journey made for your group

Are you coming to Israel for a family gathering, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah year, or simply looking for a different way to spend time together?

Tell me who is coming, how much you like to walk, how much time you have and what you want the journey to feel like. I will suggest an outdoor experience that fits your group’s ages, abilities and interests.

Possible formats include:

• A one-day walk away from the usual tourist route
• A parent-and-teen Bar or Bat Mitzvah journey on the Israel National Trail
• A two- or three-day family camp
• A private journey for friends or an extended family
• An outdoor day or overnight experience added to a longer visit to Israel

What this is — and what it is not

Kika is a licensed Israeli tour guide, but Under the Sky is not built around conventional sightseeing or a standard checklist of attractions. She leads outdoor journeys in her own style: small groups, flexible plans, close attention to the people and full care for the practical details.

Depending on what you need, Kika can lead the journey herself, produce its outdoor and logistical side, advise you while you plan, or build the right combination with other professionals. Special requests are considered individually.

Let’s start with a conversation

You do not need to arrive with a finished plan. Send me a WhatsApp message with your dates, group size, ages and preferred walking level, and we will see what can work.
