Australia family vacations

Take the gang on a proper Aussie adventure

Who needs an iPad when you have the Australian wilderness at your fingertips? A family vacation in Australia is all about getting out there. Running your hands through fire-red sand, swimming in natural pools beneath towering gum trees, and learning about the ancient Aboriginal stories behind giant monoliths and asteroid craters. With campfire dinners and plenty of downtime to relax under the starry southern sky, these trips set you up for some serious family bonding.

Australia highlights

A family of four exploring the base of Uluru, Australia

Feel like an ant at Uluru

Standing 348 m tall in the middle of a mostly flat desert, Uluru instills childlike wonder in everyone who sees it. Meet a member of the Anangu community to learn about the cultural stories of this 550-million-year-old monolith and the animals that live here, then share a truly special moment with your family as you cosy up and watch Uluru glow red at sunset.

Central Australia & Uluru Family Holiday

Travellers hiking through Kings canyon, Northern Territory, Australia

Get moving in Kings Canyon

Burn off some steam on a gentle hike through the floor of Kings Canyon. Following the creek bed, you'll get a sense of just how massive this gorge is as you gaze up at the 100-m-tall sandstone walls. Take a breather under the red river gums and maybe see if the kids can spot hikers who appear as tiny moving specks along the canyon rim.

Why choose us

Family-only trips

These trips are for families only – including any grandparents, aunts or uncles who’d like to join, of course. As long as you’re travelling with a child aged between 5 (or 10 for some itineraries) and 17, you’re a family in our eyes. Plus, all travellers aged 17 and younger receive a reduced price.

One of the hardest parts of family travel is keeping everyone happy, which is why our trips have loads of fun, educational activities for all ages. We keep travel time to a minimum, use hotels with pools where we can and include plenty of downtime so you and the kids can do your own thing. Your leader can also suggest activities based on your kids' hobbies or curriculum.

Safety first

Our leaders are specially trained to run family adventures and they get along great with the kids. You can also relax knowing we use trusted local operators and run safety assessments on all our activities and transport to make sure they meet our strict safety policy. You'll all be well taken care of.

Travel that gives back

Making a difference has been part of our journey from day one. Through our non-profit, The Intrepid Foundation, we support organisations driving change around the world. And as a certified B Corp, we’re committed to doing good through the joy of travel.
