Family Adventures

Create a unique family adventure tailored to your needs

Family adventure holidays are an exceptional way for everyone to bond through sharing life-changing experiences together. 

At World Expeditions, many of our holidays are suitable for a wide range of ages and include leisurely adventures at a relaxing pace. While some of these are specific family adventures, others are fitting for a family with children that are a minimum age of 12. 

Many of our trips can be tailor made to cater to your families specific interests, requirements and age of your children, including those under the age of 12. 

It's easy to create a unique family adventure tailored to how you prefer it, simply get in touch with one of our adventure travel consultants to get started.



Take Them on an Adventure

Escape the typical family holiday and take them on an adventure instead. Whether you are interested in tailor-making a trip or in joining one of the below Family Adventures throughout the year, travel with World Expeditions for a trip that excites, educates and entertains - both the (grand)parents and children in your family. Would you like to learn more about this different way of travelling? Read about the 3 good reasons to organise a family adventure on our blog.


Family Holidays in Asia

Lake at Yangon Kandawgyi park, Burma | <i>Deb Wilkinson</i>

The diverse history, landscapes, traditions and cultures of Asia provide amazing experiences for all the family. Below we listed for you some example itineraries that can easily be adapted for families specifically. In general, children under the age of 12 are not permitted on the standard departures for trips in Asia. However, all can be done as a "private" family departure where your family or a group of families travel together.

  • Borneo Panorama - This itinerary can be modified for a one of a kind family adventure holiday.
  • Active Laos & Cambodia - Contact us to travel Laos & Cambodia by bike, boat and on foot with your family or a group of families.
  • Classic Vietnam - Contact one of our professional consultants to learn how this adventure can be adapted for your family.
  • Myanmar Family Adventure - A fun-filled family adventure to discover the cultural pulse of Myanmar.


Family Holidays in the Himalayas

Family Holidays in Europe

Cycling with kids in Europe is a perfect way to keep them engaged | <i>Kate Baker</i>

Our friends at UTracks make it easier for you to explore Europe your way. Their family trips in Europe are designed to suit families with children as young as 2. On many of the self guided cycling trips in the offer, we arrange bike trailers which accommodate up to 2 children to a maximum of 40-60kgs (depending on specifications), and trail-a-bikes for 4-9 year olds. On the self guided walks, active children from 8 years old are welcomed, while our guided Mont Blanc Family Adventure is for children from 7 years. Discounts are usually available for children under 12 years when sharing a room with two adults.
