ReGush ATV
ReGush ATV
ReGush runs off-road outings from Alon Shvut in Gush Etzion in the West Bank. Its two vehicle formats have separate programmes: guided jeep tours and self-drive RZR trips accompanied by a guide. Local routes take in the Path of the Patriarchs, vineyards and springs. A longer jeep option heads into the Judean Desert for viewpoints towards the Dead Sea.
Vineyards, springs and the old road
ReGush uses the landscape around Gush Etzion as the setting for tours with historical stops. The local programmes link hillside tracks with vineyards, springs and remains along the Path of the Patriarchs. Choose by the places you want to see as well as the vehicle: a short heritage route has a different focus from a longer spring outing. Each published itinerary is a starting point for agreeing the actual trip.
A family business with local roots
ReGush describes itself as a family business. Its account of its origins highlights Dovek Dov Weinstock and his role in developing tourism in Gush Etzion. This background helps explain the emphasis on local stories and heritage stops alongside the driving. The company page does not give a precise founding date. Its history is best understood through that published family account rather than an assumed anniversary.
Jeep programmes and their different landscapes
Gush Etzion, around two hours
The classic local tour lists the Path of the Patriarchs, a Roman milestone, an ancient ritual bath and springs. Guided stops connect the landscape with the history of the area.
Judean Desert, three to four hours
The published route includes a Bedouin tent and desert viewpoints. Rosh Hatzatzon is listed for views towards Jordan and the Dead Sea. Confirm the stops included on your departure.
Burma Road, around two hours
This is a separate itinerary in the Latrun area, ending at Mitzpe Harel. Its geography differs from the Alon Shvut outings, so arrange its meeting point specifically.
Springs tour, around four hours
The operator lists Ein Masla, Ein Dovek, Ein Shalev and Ein Sajma. Ask which springs your trip will visit and whether a bathing stop is appropriate on the day.
Self-drive RZR options
Path of the Patriarchs, around one hour
Starts and finishes in Alon Shvut. Listed stops include Ein Yonatan, the Tayelet HaHaim memorial trail and the ancient ritual bath on the Path of the Patriarchs.
Vineyard route, around ninety minutes
Adds Gush Etzion vineyards to the local heritage stops. Bathing at Ein Yonatan is conditional on the season, water conditions and terrain.
Combined route, around two hours
A longer programme linking vineyards and springs, including Ein Masla, Ein Yitzhak and Ein Dovek. The detailed itinerary specifies advance coordination and a minimum of four RZR vehicles.
Drivers, passengers and suitability
RZR trips are self-drive. Drivers must be at least 20, hold a valid driving licence and have at least two years of driving experience. The operator describes a safety briefing before departure and a guide accompanying the routes. Its jeep information allows children from age one, but suitable seating and restraints need to be discussed beforehand. The company does not recommend these outings during pregnancy. Consider the ride length and movement over uneven ground when choosing a programme.
Details to settle before travelling
- Your party and vehicle Give the number of adults and the ages of children. For a jeep trip, confirm who drives, passenger capacity and the guiding language. Do not assume that the RZR driving conditions describe the jeep arrangement.
- Water stops and equipment Bring drinking water and a hat. If you want a bathing stop, agree the route and bring suitable swimwear. A named spring on an itinerary does not guarantee that entering the water will be possible.
- The final itinerary Stops can change with weather, water levels, terrain and safety instructions. Reconfirm the programme and meeting location before setting out, especially when choosing a route away from Alon Shvut.
