Europe family vacations

Experience Europe with the kids a little differently

Racing down river rapids in Slovenia. Hanging out with rescued donkeys in Greece. Snuggling up in an arctic forest cocoon in Finland. Just a typical day on one of our family vacations in Europe! And the best part is, you can skip the planning and jump straight into the fun. All your guesthouses and trains are booked, you’ll have freshly baked baguettes at the ready and your local leader will keep everything running smoothly. That way, you and the kids can focus on the important decisions – like which gelato flavor to try next.

Rescused donkeys at a Donkey sanctuary in Athens, Greece

Groom donkeys and glamp in Greece

Begin your Greek adventure hanging out with rescued donkeys at an animal sanctuary in Athens, then head to an eco-farm near Poros Island where you'll glamp under lemon and olive trees. The slower pace of island life is the perfect opportunity to connect with the kids. Spend your days strolling the shores, swimming and learning how to cook Greek favorites like spanakopita (spinach and cheese pie).

Families hiking in the Pyrenees during the summer

Run wild in Andorra

Sandwiched between the eastern Pyrenees, Andorra is like a big outdoor playground. Bond with the kids as you try all sorts of nature-based activities that’ll get everyone out of their comfort zone. We’re talking ziplining over pine forests, mountain biking around alpine lakes and rafting through frothy rivers. Round it all off with family-style hospitality and plenty of hearty Pyrenean food.

A snow-dusted reindeer in Finnish Lapland during winter

Put in a good word with Santa

Experience a true winter wonderland in the official hometown of Santa Claus. Zip across Lapland’s white landscapes on the back of a husky sled, visit Rudolph and Prancer at a family-run reindeer farm and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. And don’t let the kids forget their Christmas wish lists, as there’ll be a chance to meet the big man himself (and his elves) in Santa’s Office!

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.

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, 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

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