Family Holidays

Children are welcomed around the world in a way no adult traveller can ever be. Travel with children gives an insight into the local cultures of a country that will enrich your holiday experience immeasurably, whilst giving children memories to last a lifetime.

Independent travel as a family is very rewarding, but not without its difficulties or worries. However, in the past few years a number of the specialist adventure companies have put together a growing range of 'off the shelf' itineraries to destinations across the globe - specifically aimed at more adventurous families.

Although a 'package holiday' as such (in that they include flights, accommodation and activities), family adventures are a world away from mass tourism. Holiday possibilities include relaxed coastal cruising on a traditional Turkish Gulet, wildlife watching in Madagascar or Borneo, a cultural tour of China or Egypt, or maybe you prefer a more active holiday and want to trek in the Great Himalaya or even Learn to Surf in Portugal. What ever your interest, we can offer an outstanding range of possibilities for any adventurous family looking for a different holiday.

A particularly popular choice over the last number of years are the winter activity weeks in Lapland and Finnish Karelia. These areas are a children's winter wonderland, deep in snow, with the excitement of reindeer safaris, dog sledding, tobogganing, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. Add to this the chance of seeing the spectacular Northern Lights, and you have the setting for a great family holiday.
