The Agamon Hula Ornithology (Bird Watching) and Nature Park, is situated in the heart of the Hula Valley in Israel. The valley bordered by mountain ranges, to east the Golan Heights and to the west the Naphtali Range, is critically located in the center of the Afro-Syrian Rift and one of the most significant bird migration routes in the world.
During every migration season (fall and spring), over 500 million birds from more than 400 species migrate in the skies above us. Thousands remain at the Agamon during the winter, and others choose to nest here during the spring and summer. In the area of the Agamon a unique eco-system of regional and international importance has developed. The park is a highly significant and prominent center for eco-tourism in Israel and throughout the world, and a model for cooperation between nature, tourism and agriculture. Visitors can tour the park on a variety of bicycles, golf carts, or on guided tours in a Safari Wagon and special tours, according to the season. Agamon Hula is a unique and magical experience, in nature without partitions where you can observe thousands of unique birds, animals and plants, in their natural habitat.
