What to expect on a family adventure

Activities for all ages
With tours designed to immerse yourself into your very own Disney movie, action-packed activities to satisfy the toughest of critics, and outdoor adventure playgrounds to excite even the most sedentary of kids, family tours feature an array of excursions the whole family will love.
Child-friendly accommodation
No more arguing over who gets the bigger bed! From family-run hotels with swimming pools and child-friendly resorts that have a little something for the parents, too, family tours include accommodation types suitable for all ages and all types of adventures.
Added flexibility
Kids are unpredictable. Despite our best efforts as parents, things don’t always go according to plan, which is why most family tours allow extra time for activities and offer days without a guide. Tailor-made family tours are a popular adventure option for those wanting to guarantee plenty of time.
Childhood memories, unlocked!
We all have a childhood memory we look back on as one of the best times of our lives. Creating memorable adventures as a family is a treasured experience, whether you’re spying on the big cats on an African safari, or sailing by the colorful towns of the Amalfi Coast.

Katharine on her family adventure in Italy

"If you are an active family you absolutely can't go wrong with this trip! Heaps of varied activities were laid out for you so that all you have to do is turn up and enjoy them. It's so easy and stress-free, we were delivered directly to the door of our accommodation and looked after in every eventuality! The activities were carefully thought out and alternative options if any difficulties arise with a good balance of active and restful time. There was brilliant camaraderie and a friendly atmosphere was encouraged amongst families and children were actively welcomed and supported to explore, make new friends, and create amazing memories! There was never a moment where we, as parents, had to worry about the organization or planning for this holiday. Highly recommend!"

Aimee on her family adventure in New Zealand

"We can't say enough great things about our 'Kea' trip this summer! We are a family of four, mom, dad, and two boys aged 15 and 13. From the moment we met our guides until we got back to the airport, we really wouldn't change a thing about our whole experience. Within hours on the first day, our guides were playing soccer with our family and the kids were playing their music over the aux in our mini-bus. Details-wise, everything was organized (but not over-structured), well-paced with more strenuous days mixed up with some more relaxed days, and genuinely enjoyable. Our family all agreed that this trip was the best - we cannot recommend Active Adventures highly enough!"

Esther on her family adventure in Nepal

"I would like to recommend Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure, we booked a private tour visiting Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Everything was perfect, they adapted the trip for our family, all the hotels were excellent and our driver was really great. Every day, the owner contacted us to ask us how the trip was going, if we liked the visits, if the rooms were ok, etc. In short, a super friendly and superior service. Without a doubt, I would book them again!"

Thomas on his family adventure in France

"I wanted to discover the Provence region with my family and with a diverse range of activities, I wasn't disappointed! The hotels were clean and well equipped. I especially appreciated the different range of activities that were planned, such as the gourmet tour in Lyon for the culture and the gastronomy, and the hike in Calanques where my kids took pleasure to do some sport and be outside for a day - something that's quite a mission back home! We also enjoyed having free days to discover the landscapes and take part in some activities alone with the kids. This tour is well-designed for a family. My wife and I were happy with culinary and wine tours, while my kids were happy with the discovery of new cities and activities such as a hike or a boat tour. I would definitely recommend this trip!"

Darlene on her family adventure in Borneo

"It was a wonderful experience for our family and met so many great people on our tour. Our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable which made things easier for getting around and being comfortable in another country. We thoroughly enjoyed the activities and even ones that were out of our comfort zone. The animals were the best part of the trip, our son is 13 years old and I think he was at a great age to go on this tour, I would highly recommend it!"
