Virtually any of our trips can be entirely customized to your family's travel interests. However, some of our destinations that are very popular with families when planning custom vacations include Costa Rica, Galapagos, and Vietnam. Be sure to browse our full list of adventure destinations.
Costa Rica is our most popular family destination in Central America. It is a fairly safe country compared to some of its Central American counterparts, and it is quite westernized. Costa Rica offers a wealth of outdoor activities to explore with the family, including zip-lining in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, rafting the Arenal River and hiking in Manuel Antonio National Park.
A trip to the Galapagos is a great water-focused destination, and a very popular active family vacation alternative to a simple family beach vacation in Hawaii or Mexico. During a trip to the Galapagos, your family can kayak alongside giant sea turtles, seals and dolphins. You'll have the opportunity to hike past giant tortoises foraging for food, and go on an exotic bird watching hike. All the while, you'll have the chance to learn a great deal about nature while being exposed to the Galapagos archipelagos' unparalleled level of biodiversity. You can even add a somewhat formal educational element to the trip, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Centre in Santa Cruz. Your entire family will surely return home from the Galapagos with a greater appreciation for the world's natural wonders and diversity.
Vietnam is the perfect Asian destination to reconnect as a family and escape from hectic everyday life. You'll have the opportunity to include such activities as hiking through remote villages, past terraced rice paddies. You'll be able to meet locals, learning about their local hill-tribe culture while witnessing their slower pace of life. You'll have a chance to kayak in UNESCO recognized Halong Bay and by stunning fishing villages. After a trip to Vietnam, your family will better appreciate life before wifi and gadgets!
