‘What are we doing today?’
You just know the kids will ask this question every day of the school vacations. Now imagine their faces when you tell them you’ll be combing the Galapagos for giant tortoises, learning how to make homemade gelato in Italy or playing soccer with Nubian villagers in Egypt. With all the planning taken care of, activities and accommodation to keep everyone entertained and a small group of like-minded families to share the journey with, you can focus on making memories. School vacations go way too fast, and family time is precious, so why not pack in as much adventure as possible?

Highlights
Be flung into the future on Japan’s super speedy Shinkansen (bullet train). Reaching up to 320 kilometres per hour, hurtling across the country on a Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kawane is guaranteed to thrill the whole family. After zipping past mountains and gorges, say hello to your local family hosts for a night of cultural immersion.
Hang out with orangutans, long tailed macaques and proboscis monkeys in Borneo’s lush jungles and rainforests. Watch young orangutans learning to climb for the first time, see rescued sun bears at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center, and cruise the Kinabatangan River in search of crocs, hornbills and primates swinging between the trees.
Kids love learning about ancient Egypt at school, so why not bring the tales of Cleopatra, Khufu and Tutankhamun to life? Journey to the iconic Pyramids which have stood tall for 4500 years, feel tiny as you stand beneath the Great Sphinx and wander the Mummies Hall for a close encounter with some of Egypt’s most important queens and pharaohs.
Few things bond a group of strangers more than dance. Be welcomed into a Sri Lankan family’s home for an interactive class where you’ll learn the Kandyan dance, a traditional art from the Central Hills. Bust a few moves with your hosts before putting it all together for a mini-performance. All that dancing is hungry work, so you’ll appreciate the home-cooked feast with your new Sri Lankan friends afterward.
Take the kids to Finnish Lapland and experience a true winter wonderland in the official home of Santa Claus. Zip across the icy landscape on the back of a husky sled, visit Rudolph and Prancer at a reindeer farm and, if you’re lucky, see the magical northern lights. Don’t forget to bring your Santa list, as there’ll be a chance to meet the man himself (and his elves) at Santa’s Office!
Why choose us
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 10% discount.
Travelling with us is a bit like travelling with old friends. You’ll join a group of 3 to 5 families from all over the world, and the kids tend to hit it off straight away so you can enjoy some well-earned R&R. We often find that families stay in touch long after the trip ends.
Our groups are small enough to avoid the crowds and reach out-of-the-way places, but big enough for a good social mix. Our average group size of 10 allows us to hop aboard local boats, buses or trains, eat at family-run restaurants, and stay in traditional guesthouses and homestays.
Boredom? Nope. The biggest challenge of travelling with kids is keeping them entertained, which is why our trips have plenty of fun activities and free time. We try to keep travelling time to a minimum and use hotels with pools. Your leader can also suggest activities based on your kid’s hobbies or curriculum.
Our leaders are specially trained to run family adventures, so you and the kids will be well taken care of. You can also rest easy knowing we conduct safety assessments on all our activities to meet local standards as well as our own comprehensive safety policy.
As the world’s largest travel B Corp, we use travel as a force for good. We give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. When you travel with us, you travel with purpose.
