Tailor-made family holidays

All too often family holidays can be overshadowed by hordes of tourists, heaving beaches and large resorts. But for families that crave a little more adventure, a tailor-made tour offers the prospect of exciting, new experiences and a holiday memorable for the entire family. Our family holidays can be similar to group tours with accommodation, transport and activities, or they can be built from scratch with personalised itineraries, private transport and higher end accommodation – it’s entirely up to you. Relax in the knowing that your trip has been organised specifically to your needs. Whether that’s focusing on sight-seeing, beach-hopping, wildlife or culture, you can sit back and enjoy quality family time without worrying about the logistics of organising an epic adventure.

Top 9 destinations for families

1. Costa Rica

Definitely one of our favourite destinations for families, especially if you’re looking to travel with younger children. Costa Rica is a fairly small country and travelling from A to B can be done overland. That means travel times are reasonable and they will not put a strain on the younger members of the family, not to mention no time is wasted at airports! You can explore breath-taking national parks, relax at the beach and let your little ones discover exotic animals for the first time. Costa Rica truly is the adventure capital of Central America.

2. Peru

Needless to say, Peru is high on the bucket list for many travellers. The country has such a vast variety to offer in landscapes, experiences and culture that it’s impossible not to fall in love. Families often seem to think it’s not feasible to reach Machu Picchu with children. Luckily we can assure you, this is not true and you can put Peru back on your research list! If your children are in their teens then you might want to consider the one day hike to Machu Picchu. If you’re travelling with younger children, or simply like the comfort, you can always take the train to Machu Picchu – that’s right, no hiking required! Peru is a fun experience for families. Meet alpacas, learn about different local traditions and travel from the beach, through the desert and mountains to the Amazon Jungle.

3. Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a real paradise for families. The country offers a lot adventurous activities: you can discover lost cities, ancient temples, learn about Buddhism or even go on a game drive to spot wildlife at Yala National Park. Why not extend your adventure holiday for a few relaxing days at the beach before you head home? The beaches of southern Sri Lanka have an untouched beauty and won’t fail to make you forget all about your hectic day to day life. If you’re working with a tight budget then we have good news for you, a holiday to Sri Lanka is great value for money!

4. Mexico

So much to do, such little time. That’s usually the reaction we get from families wanting to travel Mexico. Don’t worry, we can not only help you to maximise your time in Mexico by organising the most efficient transport across the country but we can also help you decide what to include in your itinerary. Whether you want to learn all about the ancient temples and traditions of the Mayans, you want to soak in the blue water and white sand beaches on the eastern side of Mexico or you’re after a cosmopolitan experience in Mexico City, we can tailor the perfect tour for your family.

5. Tanzania

Tanzania is amongst our most popular destinations for families. Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park are putting the country on the map for two of the world’s finest natural wonders: a collapsed volcano, two million years old and the great migration. Stay in a traditional African lodge, learn about local tribes to get a real feel for the country and go on game drives and spot lions, elephants and rhinoceros (to name a few). And to top it all off you can head to Zanzibar for some snorkelling and time on the beach. Tanzania is an experience your family will reminisce about for years to come.

6. Cuba

Do you want your family to experience something completely different? Then Cuba might be the destination for you! Due to the long-lasting communist government, the country has resisted modernisations many of its neighbours in Central America have adopted. WiFi isn’t easy to come by, you will mostly see classic cars from the 1950’s in the streets of Havana and you will discover that way of life is simply more relaxed, easy-going even. Let your family travel back in time as you learn about the country’s fascinating past, traditions, explore the colourful cities and breath-taking nature.

7. South Africa

  1. If you want your family to have a real adventure on holiday then look no further. South Africa is home to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes and national parks. Go on a game drive or appreciate the South African landscapes on a hike, from easy to moderate, we can make sure your chosen excursions are at the right level for your family. End the holiday at one of the country’s tranquil beaches and maybe you’ll even spot some penguins! Or head to the Winelands where you can discover and enjoy some of the world’s finest wines.

8. Cambodia

What is Cambodia most famous for? That’s correct, the temples of Angkor Wat. We cannot deny that the ancient, incredible temples will leave you speechless and should be a “must see” item for everyone visiting Cambodia, but the country has a lot more to offer. Discover lush beaches, the gorgeous countryside, the busy city of Phnom Penh and small villages. The country is still a lot less travelled than its neighbours Thailand and Vietnam and it’s a chance for families to head off the beaten path at an agreeable budget.

9. Belize

Not many travellers have Belize on their mind when it’s time to think about the next holiday. That’s what makes it the perfection destination. It is one of the very few countries in the world where nature truly seems to be left untouched. Warm your feet walking along the country’s white sand beaches and go for a relaxing swim in the crystal blue water. Go wildlife spotting in the lush rainforest or brace yourself for some exciting excursions, from tubing to scuba diving, you will not find yourself bored. Belize is a hidden gem for all families craving an adventure.
