Teenage family vacations

Keen to make more memories before your kids think they’re too old for a family vacation?

Designed for tweens and teens (aged 10 to 17), these trips are packed with immersive experiences that cultivate curiosity and connection in the next generation of Intrepid travellers. Picture: staying in a traditional home with Mai Chau villagers in Vietnam, zip-lining through the treetops in the Pyrenees or falling asleep to the sounds of the wilderness in the Okavango Delta. With plenty of free time to do your own thing, a local leader and a group of other adventure-hungry families by your side, your kids will remember these trips long after they've flown the nest.

Highlights

Small pride of lions stalk the scrub grasses of Kruger National Park in South Africa

Go on safari in Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is bustling with activity during the day, but night-time game drives are just as exciting. Maybe you’ll spot a hyena out hunting or an impala searching for a late-night feed. The fun doesn’t stop there, either. Imagine getting comfy in your sleeping bag, only to hear the distant trumpet of an elephant or the roar of a lion. Now that’s a camping experience you won’t forget!

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 10 and 17, you’re a family in our eyes. Plus, all travellers aged 17 and younger receive a 10% discount.

Like-minded travellers

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.

Small groups

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.

Teen-friendly itineraries

Our teenage trips are for families with tweens and teens (aged 10 to 17). They offer more active itineraries designed for older children. If you also have younger children, we'll look at allowing them on these trips on a case-by-case basis.

Safety first

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.

Travel that gives back

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.
