Explore the largest man-made ice cave in the world

Brave the cold with Intrepid’s Winter Iceland Family Holiday with Teenagers.
Soak up Mayan history at Chichen Itza
It’s impossible not to be impressed by the most famous Maya temple site in all of Mexico; even your tricky teens will be enchanted. Marvel at Kukulkan, standing high over the ruins, and then explore a nearby Maya ‘ball court’ with its detailed stone carvings.
Step back in time with Intrepid’s Mexico Family Holiday.
Lead the pack in Zuberac
If your kids are husky-mad, they’ll love dog sledding through the snow. Enjoy greeting your husky team, who have travelled from the Lower Tatra to meet you, learn how to handle the sled and sip on hot drinks by the fire to warm up after an amazing day.
Go walking in a winter wonderland with Intrepid’s Winter Slovakian Family Holiday.
Amble down the cobbled streets of Havana
Prepare for your family to be charmed by the capital of Cuba. From its spacious plazas and glorious colonial Spanish architecture, to its iconic American automobiles and Che Guevara-branded buildings. It’s a city packed with culture, colour and cuisine.
Be captivated by Cuba with Intrepid’s Cuba Family Holiday.

India Family Holiday , September 2018
Christopher Van de Velde
India seemed a daunting destination for a "family holiday", but this trip was totally manageable (even with one kid who refuses to eat curry), with a good mix of monuments/forts, nature and culture and down time for the kids to swim.

Vietnam Family Holiday Comfort, September 2018
James Taipari
Intrepid is a really good holiday creating company with enthusiastic and funny staff and leaders and tours which bring people and families together. Intrepid have a very well structured and fun tour from the once in a lifetime incursions to epic and cool ways to travel, whilst also giving u a sense of relaxation with adequate time to rest and recooperate. Intrepid is a tour company for everyone to enjoy and I personally recommend the family tour, where u can meet new people and make new friends. Thanks

Vietnam Family Holiday , September 2018
Suzanne Dawson
This tour was perfect for our family (my husband and I and our sons aged 10 and 13) as it took all the logistical headaches out of touring a country we had never been to and really gave us an experience that went beyond just staying in nice hotels. We had opportunities to interact with local people, the other families on our tour and our guide Thuy who was awesome - super organised and informative and fun to be around. The tour covers a lot of ground in 12 days so we were happy we booked some extra days of pure relaxation on Phu Quoc at the end to catch our breath before heading back to our busy lives. An unforgettable family holiday in a beautiful country!
