To allow you to nurture your brood's curious spark and open their eyes on an overseas adventure holiday, we are offering you the fantastic opportunity to book any family adventures departing in July or August 2012 and SAVE 10%.
Being a parent shouldn't spell the end of your travelling adventures. Adventure holidays for families allow you to explore exotic and unique destinations, with all of the logistics taken care of. Travelling in a small group with other families allows children to make new friends and adults to relax and enjoy their surroundings.
To make it even easier to find the right tour for you, we are giving you a flavour of some of our most popular tours...
Costa Rica
Your little ones will love Costa Rica with its combination of stunning beaches and endless adrenalin-pumping activities. Take to the jungle waterways on a boat trip towards Tortuguero, translated as 'Land of Turtles'. Created from narrow lagoons, these colourful canals link small isolated settlements and bring you within eyeshot of birds, monkeys and marine life.
For trips made between June and September, there's a good chance you'll spot loggerhead turtles as they struggle ashore on Tortuguero’s beaches to lay their eggs.
Adrenalin comes in the form of wire walkways suspended in the rainforest canopy in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, while whitewater rafting and plunging into waterfalls is also not-to-be-missed.
Our 15-day Costa Rica Family Holiday takes in San Jose, wildlife spotting in Tortuguero, the cloud forest reserve in Monteverde and the forest park Manuel Antonio, from £2,113 including flights, accommodation, tour guide and transfers.
Croatia
You don't have to go long-haul or spend a fortune for a family adventure. Croatia, with its azure waters and laid-back vibe is one of the places to go.
For a water-soaked trip, stick to the coast and take your family sea kayaking along the Makarska Coast. Even first-timers will quickly find their own rhythm while negotiating the serene landscape of isolated bays and white beaches, with towering views of central Dalmatia all around.
Head further inland to the Cetina River for your chance to explore underground tunnels, paddle through natural pools and scramble over rocks with a canyoning trip, suitable for kids of any age. Continue your aquatic adventure here with some whitewater rafting. Alternatively, take to the mountains of Omis for a hiking and climbing tour.
Our eight-day Family Adventure Holiday in Croatia includes an itinerary of kayaking and canyoning while being based in a rural hamlet with access to the Dalmatian Coast, from £999, including flights, accommodation, tour staff and transfers.
Thailand
Thailand's not just a destination for backpackers and business travellers; it's also great for kids. Thanks to an unbeatable tourism infrastructure and myriad sites - from the bright lights of Bangkok and castaway islands to elephant rides among rice terraces - there's boundless variety.
For an unforgettable adventure, head north to cultural capital Chiang Mai - the gateway to hilltribe country. Trekking into the northern hills, beyond the village of Pai, will bring you face-to-face with a number of tribes, from the Karen to Red Lahu. Meet the village's shaman, explore its intricate temple and open your kids' eyes to a whole new culture.
Our Family Holiday in Thailand takes in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, a hilltribe trek, elephant ride and Koh Samet, from £1,555, including flights, accommodation, transfers and tour staff.
