Australia family holidays

Take the gang on a proper Aussie adventure

Who needs an iPad when you have the Australian wilderness at your fingertips? A family holiday 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

Fluffy clouds at sunset over 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

Small, family-only groups

Our average group size of 10 (usually 3 to 5 like-minded families) means we can use local transport, eat at family-run restaurants, and stay in traditional guesthouses and homestays. All relations are welcome – as long as you’re with a child aged between 5 and 17, you’re a family in our eyes.

We know one of the hardest parts of family travel is keeping the kids entertained, which is why our trips have loads of fun, educational activities for both children and grown-ups. We try to keep travel time to a minimum, use hotels with pools where we can and include plenty of free time to 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 have a great rapport with the kids, so you'll all be well taken care of. You can also relax knowing we use – and regularly audit – trusted local operators and conduct safety assessments on all our activities to make sure they meet our comprehensive safety policy.

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.
