Why choose The Family Adventure Company?
Since 1996, The Family Adventure Company has been delighting families with small group adventure holidays to most of the world’s amazing destinations.
Whether you want to get active and cycle, raft and kayak or take things a little slower and sleep under the stars in the desert, get up close to some incredible wildlife, take to the seas and explore hidden coves by sail boat, or discover another culture, we provide an English speaking local leader who leads you through an exciting itinerary utilising local accommodation, a variety of fun transportation and a wide range of activities and opportunities.
1. Award winning
We are thrilled to have been voted Best Family Tour Operator by Family Traveller readers in 2015 and prior to that, we brought home the title again at The Times Travel Awards. We are proud to hold these titles, a huge honour and endorsement of what we do.
2. UK’s leading family adventure specialist
The Family Adventure Company is the UK’s leading family adventure holiday specialist.
20 years ago, we pioneered the concept of small group family travel and now take more families on adventure holidays each year than any other adventure tour operator. We offer a wide range of trips to suit different ages and interests, including dedicated adventures for teens and their families and exciting wildlife, activity or cultural adventures.
3. Small groups
On every trip you enjoy a mix of must-see highlights and memorable experiences. Our small groups tours have an average size of 3 or 4 like-minded families providing ready-made friends for the kids and sensible conversation for the parents. The trips are ideal for families of all ages, solo parents , single-child families and you can even bring granny or grandad along.
4. Child prices for 14s and under
Unlike many others, we offer lower prices for kids aged 14 and under. Kids will automatically receive 10% OFF the adult full price so you’ll benefit from an extra three years of cheaper travel.
5. 3-for-2 on all kids' places
For families with three children or more, we offer three for the price of two on kids' places. All families weren’t created with equal numbers and sometimes the hassle of extra beds and different hotel rooms can be a struggle. We support larger families to ensure you have the ultimate family holiday. Find out more.
6. Local leaders
All our tours are led by local leaders, specially trained in running family adventures. When it comes to your hometown, we bet you know the stories behind the hidden sights, all the best parks and the tastiest spot to grab a bite to eat. But when you travel, you're suddenly the new family in town. That's why it makes sense for a local to help show you around. Find out more about our leaders.
7. We're part of Intrepid Travel
In 2012, The Family Adventure Company merged with the global tour operator, Intrepid Travel which has 25 years’ experience of taking travellers on adventure holidays and offers more than 1,000 trips to over 100 countries.
By joining together we can now offer our customers a wider range of trips, guaranteed departures on most trips and more departure dates. We operate our trips under both The Family Adventure and Intrepid Travel.
8. Responsible Travel
The Family Adventure Company is committed to responsible travel that has a positive impact on the destinations we visit. We employ local tour leaders, support vital community projects around the world and carbon offset travel within destination countries. We support The Intrepid Foundation, a not-for-profit fund that aids non-government organisations around the world. From healthcare to animal welfare, education and environmental conservation, we're dedicated to supporting the communities we visit.
