Family Adventure Vacations & Trips

Choose an adventure as a family. Before making a final decision on your destination, talk to your kids and ask them question — no matter how old they are! Do they want to swim at the beach and swim with fishes? Or do they prefer to see lions and elephants? Show them pictures and talk about what you are hoping to experience. Discuss potential challenges, too, such as people who don't speak their language, strange foods, long walks, unscheduled time, etc.

Determine your budget. Traveling can be expensive, especially for large families. To save money, pick a destination that's not too far or accommodations where you can cook meals instead of eating out daily. An all-inclusive cruise or tour is also a good option for travelers who don't want to stress out over their budget on the trip.

Research the area. Make it a family project to learn about the country you will be traveling to. Encourage children to read books and/or watch films before the trip. Help your children think up questions that they would like to ask while they are there.

Consider health precautions. Contact your pediatrician to find out minimum age recommendations for suggested immunizations. Don't forget to discuss any specific health concerns for your child that might be aggravated by the stresses of overseas travel. Pack a basic first-aid kit.

Many families are now setting out to experience family adventure travel across three generations in one vacation and are looking for multigenerational travel ideas! Adventure speaks more to the spirit of exploration than it does even to the physical demands of the trip. We can customize your trip plans to meet the physical abilities of all in your party or provide your family with optional activities allowing your participants to 'choose their adventure' to best adhere to their abilities.

Ways we can craft a multi-generational trip to accommodate the physical needs of three generations:
- Ensure to send you to properties with ample onsite activities that will occupy little ones, while still offering amenities such as spa services for those who prefer to rest and be pampered at the end of the day.
- Incorporate a route that reduces drive times as much as possible when younger kids are in tow, ensuring more time is spent exploring (or napping) whichever may be more needed!
- Book your family on a cruise that offers a variety of shore excursions by physical ability. Cruise with your family during most of the day, and then split off into smaller groups to partake in an activity that is just at your level.
- Arrange for additional guide service that allows your hiking or kayaking group to divide into two groups depending on the preferred pace. Those who want a more strenuous pace can then forge ahead and those who need more time can enjoy it without feeling they are holding others up.
- Plan meals at restaurants that offer ample options to better cater to the varied palette of your group.
