Family travel

When Mark and his 11-year-old daughter Quinn decided to travel together through Cambodia, they expected an adventure. What they didn’t expect was one of the greatest experiences of their lives.…

‘On the first day, the eight children pronounced themselves best friends and bagged girls’ and boys’ areas on the bus for the journeys to come.’

As a teenager, Faye Wilkinson travelled on several Intrepid family holidays. We spoke to her about her memories of them and the lasting impression they’d had.

Going on a family holiday can be expensive, take a lot of organising and scouring the internet to make sure everyone’s needs will be catered for. You could be forgiven for allowing the thought, “why don’t we just give it a miss this year?” to cross your mind. But, here at Intrepid we think it’s really important to take a family break, here’s why…

From digging for dinosaurs to mushing with sled dogs, these summer activities are fun for the whole family.

“I love seeing the world through my daughter’s eyes, and I appreciate her curiosity and reserved sense of adventure. Travelling as a solo mum doesn’t come without its challenges, but they’re far outweighed by the benefits.”

“In the time we spent in Costa Rica, I saw my kids grow and discover things about themselves that I’m not sure I would have seen had we stayed at home.”

On family holidays, it can sometimes be tricky finding fun things to do that everyone will enjoy. But not with these awesome adventures!

“My daughter loved the adventure of sleeping in the forest and, as it was a device-free zone, we could talk about the environment and what would happen to the wildlife if we cut down all the trees.”
