Adventure Holidays

Although we send many of you to both luxurious or quite simple resort hotels where there is much to entertain your older children, we have taken great pleasure in helping an increasing number of families who are looking for a family adventure holiday together, and it does seem that these holidays guarantee you will actually get on well more than any other type of holiday.

The jostling for attention - and not just the kids - the petty arguments, the twelve year olds reverting to the terrible twos, and other common features of family holidays, disappear when you are facing something together that really excites the imagination. We have worked with a few selected African specialists for over ten years now to devise family holidays to south Africa that will exceed your expectation of what the cliché of bonding as a family can mean.

We also know that long distance holidays like this can be expensive, and as one of the first travel agents to work with the group adventure tour companies at the end of the 1980s, we have seen how they have now managed to introduce new independent family trips following the same itineraries as its escorted groups, such as our family adventure holiday to Costa Rica.

One adventure tour company has recently developed a choice of 65 family adventures in more than 40 countries, catering for parents with children aged five and over. These range from an eight-day ‘Discover Mallorca’ trip which includes cycling, kayaking, swimming and trekking, to tracking down the ‘Big Five’ in their Tanzanian Big Cat Safari.

The big plus point from our point of view as your professional advisors is that they now have an independent option which allows one or several families to form their own group to travel to selected destinations, with no minimum age limit. You might come as a family unit or team up with another family, but the trip will still be based on the itinerary as offered to larger groups and this means costs can be kept down compared with a tour totally designed just for your family.
