October half term holidays | Intrepid Travel AU

As the sun starts to fade and the days get shorter, what better way to extend your family’s summer than with a hot October half term break? If it’s a quick flight you’re after, both Jordan or Egypt are still warm this time of year and the major tourist crowds have now dissipated. If you’re happy to travel a little further afield, Asia in autumn could be the perfect destination. October kicks off the dry season in India and Nepal, bringing with it beautiful, tropical spring flora, fresh from the monsoon rains.

Head into the jungles of Chitwan National Park

Got animal-mad teens? They’ll get a kick out of spending two days in this Nepalese national park. Spot hidden tigers from the safety of your jeep, look out for crocs whilst floating in a dugout canoe and track down the infamous, local wild chicken.

Explore the breath-taking Pyramids of Giza

Thinking back, ancient Egypt was always an intriguing history lesson at school – why not bring that to life for your kids? Journey to the iconic Pyramids, which have stood tall for thousands of years, see the Sphinx and be sure to check out the Mummies too.

Discover the Middle East with Intrepid’s Egypt Family Holiday.

Ride the famous bullet train

Be flung into the future by Japan’s world-renowned, super speedy mode of transport. Hurtling across the country from Odawara to Tokyo at 300km per hour; this is an essential Japanese travel experience that is guaranteed to be a thrill for the whole family.

Feel futuristic with Intrepid’s Japan Family Holiday.

Go for a dip in the Dead Sea

The strange feeling of floating effortlessly in its salt-saturated waters will turn even the most serious of adults or grumpy teens, back into big kids. This truly unique ecosystem is something that you and your family will look back on for years to come.

Northern India Family Holiday , July 2018

What an amazing adventure we had with our group of fellow explorers (i.e. new friends worldwide!) and our incredible tour leader, Yaddu. From the Taj Mahal to tigers in the jungle, red hill forts and palaces, dinner in the clouds and snacks on the street - we did it all!

Our Intrepid adventure has just come to an end and we are so sad to say goodbye to Ravi, our fantastic local guide. Our family trip has exceeded all our expectations and more and has opened our mind to a new culture whilst inhaling the local customs and tasting some delicious food along the way. Intrepid is a great company which will gently lead you off the beaten track into the heartbeat of a country, just like that. One piece of advice though - do travel light, even as a family!

Morocco Family Holiday, July 2018

Aaron Kraft

This was our first Intrepid tour so we didn't really know what to expect. Here is what we found! Included and optional experiences were great. Our guide arranged experiences with locals that felt good and friendly. The transport van was very nice. Accommodations were very basic/rustic in the countryside and better in bigger cities. Overall they were good. if you require 4 and 5 star lodging this might not be your tour. Our guide Ahmed was great. Friendly, very knowledgeable and cared that we had a good experience. Spending time in Morocco was interesting, eye opening and definitely stimulating. The country itself is a bit challenging for westerners. Hot, smelly and smoggy and a bit in your face. However, the people and countryside and seaside were throughout amazing. Our family would recommend this tour.
