Bicycles
As long as you can deal with the heat, getting around Tiberias and the lake by bicycle is ideal. The road by the lake shore is relatively hill-free and many of the sites are close together. Most cyclists do the lake circuit, which can be done in four or five steady hours. Start early (around 07:00) to beat the heat and take plenty of water because there is little shade along the road.

Gai Beach Water Park
For a real splash, spend the day at the Gai Beach Water Park which has giant water slides, including the terrifying kamikaze slide (on a 70° angle), and wave-machine-rippled pools. The water park is 1km south of the town centre. Walk or take bus No 5-Aleph (A) from the bus station.
