Family Trips

What to expect on a family experience with Adventure Life
Every one of our family adventures is unique, meaning that we have a family experience for every type of family, whether you're traveling with young kids, adolescents seeking an active learning experience, adventurous adults, or relaxed pace groups for older families. 

Fun Activities
No matter what ages you are traveling with, our adventures tend to be a "one-size-fits-all." Nothing in this category is too challenging but all of these itineraries do feature daily activities that will keep you on the move. Horseback riding, kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking are some of the fun things to do on family vacations with Adventure-Life. 

Learning Opportunities
If you're hoping to travel with young children who might not appreciate that, make sure to inquire and let us know so that we can find the perfect itinerary to keep our youngest explorers engaged too. Daily activities might include a nature hike led by an expert naturalist guide, a visit to conservation centers for animals from pandas to tortoises, or biking or walking tours of a city, to name a few.

Comfort
When you're traveling with people of all ages, comfort is definitely a priority. Don't worry; whether you're exploring Antarctica or cruising the Mediterranean, our travel experts will make sure you're traveling in ease.

We know that planning a trip for your family, especially to somewhere you've never been can be a daunting idea. Let us know when you're ready to start planning and we'll take you through the whole process, making sure to answer any questions so you can focus on the excitement and fun with your family.

Packing Tips for Family Vacations

Pack entertainment. Allow children to pack their favorite book, portable game, or tablet to keep them entertained during long flights or airport layovers. While toys add extra weight to the luggage, having their favorite toys with them gives children a sense of comfort and normalcy on the road.
 
Bring a basic first-aid kit. It doesn’t have to be all-encompassing, but it should have the essentials: bandages, mosquito repellant, antihistamines, pain killers, and anti-diarrhea medication, among others.
 
Pack appropriately for your activities and the weather. Packing light makes traveling much easier, so bring only what you need for your family vacation. If you’re going on a tropical beach vacation, you don’t need heavy jackets!
 
Make extra copies of all important documents. It can be difficult to keep track of everything, especially when traveling with the entire family. A backup of all documents are a must, including passports, birth certificates, reservations, and others. Keeping digital copies is also a good idea.
 
Let every family member carry a personal carry-on bag. Yes, even the little ones! Letting them pick what goes in their bag helps limit the toys they want to take on vacation — and it’s a great way to give them some responsibility at an early age.
