Family adventure holidays with teenagers

Get your teenagers away from their phones and computers on an adventurous and exciting holiday to not only broaden their minds and expand their horizons, but also bring you closer as a family. It's time to make a set of unique and special shared memories of the times you spent sea kayaking, watching elephants, zip wiring or snorkelling amongst thousands of tropical fish together.

For families with children hurtling towards that moment where they leave the nest for good, and sadly choosing to go on holiday with friends over mum and dad, what better way to bring you all together for one or two more memorable holidays to a beautiful part of the world?

By choosing one of our trips to such out of the ordinary destinations as Botswana, Finland, Myanmar, Slovenia and Tanzania, your teens will team up with like-minded and similar-aged children, having an absolute ball together and giving you some precious rest and relaxation.

Be it action, safari, culture, beach, or all of the above, we have some fantastic options to suit your family's interests as well as some adventures you may have never even heard of.

Below is a selection of trips particularly suited to teenagers, with an age guide of 10/11 - 18 years. However, we have a much wider selection of holidays that accept children of a younger age.

Active Sri Lanka

Cycle along the coast, explore caves, take a cooking class, white-water raft and ride a train through the tea plantation. Something to keep every teenager occupied.

Iceland Explorer

Bathe in the famous Blue Lagoon, explore the volcanic landscape and take geography out of the classroom. See whales outside of Reykjavik, cycle across the stunning wilderness and get soaked in the spray of hundreds of waterfalls.

Teen Hike & Bike

We've designed a trip to Morocco ideal for teenagers. Explore by bike, camel and on foot and journey into the Atlas Mountains, meeting local Berber people. Depending on the time of year, head to the beach for more activities or relaxation, or visit the famous Ait-Ben-Haddou kasbah.

Active Croatia

Head to Croatia to see famous sights, such as the Blue Lagoon and explore places only locals know about by kayak and raft. Have a go at canyoning, swim under waterfalls and through natural rock pools, as well as relax independently.

Botswana Family Safari

Botswana’s rich and varied landscapes provide habitat for a myriad of extremely watchable wildlife from the big five to the smallest of fascinating insects. Watch, learn and marvel as you branch out by vehicle and boat on your ‘Attenborough-style’ safaris and camp out under the African stars.

Adventure in the Andes

Historical explorers will love venturing into the Sacred Valley and up to Machu Picchu, and there are enough activities to keep everyone else happy as well - cycling through valleys, paddle boarding, making your own bar of Peruvian chocolate and crafting your own pottery.
