Make lunch for sun bears in Borneo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Borneo, the rainforest feels less like a backdrop and more like part of the experience. On the <a href=\"\/malaysia\/borneo-premium-family-holiday-171227\">Borneo Premium Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre with founder Dr Wong and get stuck into preparing treats for the world\u2019s smallest bear species, from tasty snacks to enrichment toys. It\u2019s hands-on, a little messy, and more fun for the kids than watching from a distance. After all the adventure, downtime arrives on tropical Gaya Island, where you&#8217;ll stay in overwater villas and learn about local marine life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Meet robot hosts in Japan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan\u2019s cutting-edge technology is a big draw for younger travellers. On the <a href=\"\/japan\/japan-highlights-family-holiday-166784\">Japan Highlights Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll visit a <a href=\"\/adventures\/tokyo-robot-cafe\/\">Tokyo robot avatar caf\u00e9<\/a> where android servers are operated remotely by people with disabilities. You can chat to them virtually and even have a go at operating one yourself, which, for kids (and let\u2019s be honest, adults), is way more exciting than your average caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/the-goods-family-travel-experiences\/\">How to make your next family adventure a hit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863.jpg\" alt=\"An Intrepid Bollywood class in Jaipur, India.\" class=\"wp-image-92504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-India-Jaipur-Bollywood-dancing-class-experience-2863-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shake what your mama gave you at a Bollywood class in India<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

On the <a href=\"\/india\/india-golden-triangle-premium-family-holiday-171265\">India Golden Triangle Premium Family Holiday<\/a>, your time in Jaipur includes a Bollywood dance class, where you\u2019ll all learn the moves together, drop your guard down and end up laughing more than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Get creative with wool in Iceland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iceland might be known for dramatic volcanoes and waterfalls, but its folklore is pretty special, too. On the <a href=\"\/iceland\/iceland-family-holiday-166645\">Iceland Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll visit a local home in Reykjavik to craft your own skrimsli (wool monster) while hearing stories of elves and trolls that sound half like myth, half like local gossip. A bit unusual? Yes. Memorable? Also yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery alignwide is-style-rectangular\"><div

class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Go big at Uluru in Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Australia\u2019s Red Centre, everything feels supersized: the skies, the silence and, of course, Uluru itself. On the <a href=\"\/australia\/central-australia-uluru-family-holiday-167615\">Central Australia &amp; Uluru Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll cycle around its base to appreciate the scale from every angle, then watch as the rock shifts colour with the changing light. It\u2019s the kind of moment that quietly holds everyone\u2019s attention \u2013 kids included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Get the story behind K-pop Demon Hunters in South Korea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In South Korea, you can move easily between the traditional and the very modern, often in the same afternoon. On the <a href=\"\/south-korea\/south-korea-family-holiday-167710\">South Korea Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll visit Girimsa Temple for tea with a monk, where centuries-old folk tales come with a twist: they helped inspire K-Pop Demon Hunters. There\u2019s also a chance to make your own Buddhist rosary, which definitely beats taking home a fridge magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide is-style-rectangular\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco-family_aroumd-homestay-atlas-mountains-1075.jpg\" alt=\"A cooking class on a family holiday in Morocco with Intrepid. \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get stuck in with hands-on experiences during a family holiday in Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Sleep under the stars in Morocco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Morocco, among the artfully messy pottery and hands-on cooking classes, you can quickly move from big-city energy to the silence of the sand-shifting desert. On the <a href=\"\/morocco\/morocco-premium-family-holiday-173380\">Morocco Premium Family Holiday<\/a>, that transition ends with a night in the Sahara, complete with a traditional dinner, live music and a star-studded sky. For kids, it\u2019s a moment where the setting does most of the talking: camels, dunes, music and a night sky that feels almost unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Cook up a feast in Greece<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Greece has family travel covered: sunshine, history, beaches and food that\u2019s worth lingering over. On the <a href=\"\/greece\/greece-family-holiday-167840\">Greece Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll join a cooking class on Poros Island, where you\u2019ll learn to make dishes like spanakopita\u202f(a flaky pastry layered with spinach and feta),\u202fwhile focussing on the process rather than perfection. Expect a bit of mess, a lot of taste-testing and very few complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

Spend time with a Maleku community in Costa Rica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Families are drawn to Costa Rica\u2019s wildlife and coastlines, but its culture is just as rich. On the <a href=\"\/costa-rica\/costa-rica-premium-family-holiday-171106\">Costa Rica Premium Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll visit a Maleku community, learning about the traditions of Costa Rica&#8217;s smallest Indigenous group and having a go at making a traditional jicara drinking cup, made from natural materials such as gourds. It\u2019s a simple, hands-on exchange that adds another layer of depth to your time here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Go to sleep on the water in Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Halong Bay\u2019s towering limestone formations look as if they\u2019ve been deliberately designed to impress. On the <a href=\"\/vietnam\/vietnam-family-holiday-167230\">Vietnam Family Holiday<\/a>, you\u2019ll hop aboard a traditional junk boat and cruise through the limestone-karst-speckled landscape, with time to swim, kayak and drift into hidden caves along the way. Then, as evening falls, it\u2019s time to anchor in a quiet bay to watch the sunset before a night beneath starry skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Turn ocean waste into art in the Galapagos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Galapagos Islands are all about wildlife and a visit here will make you passionate about protecting it. On the <a href=\"\/ecuador\/galapagos-family-holiday-166518\">Galapagos Family Holiday<\/a>, a workshop on Isla Santa Cruz sees you working with a local artist to turn collected beach plastic into something new. It\u2019s a great chance to get the kids thinking about conservation while doing something practical and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Launch your next <a href=\"\/family\">family adventure<\/a> on a small-group trip with Intrepid. Intrepid\u2019s family trips are designed for people travelling with a child aged between 5 (or 10 for some trips) and 17.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"ipf-title\">Family adventures<\/h2><div
