Laura - Croatia River Adventure
Laura has five years of experience in the travel industry and lived in Zanzibar for three years. She has travelled extensively, with Croatia, India, South America and Botswana among her favourites.
"I love the Croatia River Adventure for its perfect blend of fun, nature and history - ideal for active and inquisitive families! From kayaking along the Mreznica River to exploring medieval towns and eerie Cold War tunnels at an abandoned airbase, there's never a dull moment. Pack sturdy water shoes and quick-dry clothes – they’re essential! Croatia uses the euro and cards are widely accepted; small change is handy for snacks and tips. Don’t forget a sense of adventure – this trip is unforgettable!"
Sally - Kenya Family Adventure & Safari
With over 25 years of experience in the travel industry, Sally has explored many destinations – often with children in tow. She's passionate about creating meaningful, family-friendly journeys that connect people with places. When she's not travelling, you’ll find her tending to her allotment or enjoying long walks with her partner and dogs.
“Kenya Family Adventure & Safari is a holiday of a lifetime, combining incredible wildlife and exciting activities with authentic cultural experiences – perfect for curious kids and adventurous parents! Track the Big Five, meet Maasai communities and stay in a mix of accommodation. Pack layers – mornings are chilly and afternoons warm. Bring binoculars, sun hats and a good camera. The Kenyan shilling is the local currency, but US Dollars are widely accepted. Carry cash for tips and souvenirs. And don’t forget: a cheery Jambo! (Hello in Swahili) goes a long way!”
Jenny - Active Montenegro
Jenny has loved travel for as long as she can remember and has been working in the industry for six years. She has travelled extensively and has visited over 60 countries so far! Some of her favourite memories include caving in New Zealand, paragliding in Austria, desert camping in Jordan, sailing Ha Long Bay in Vietnam and glacier hiking in Iceland.
"What I love most about Active Montenegro is how effortlessly it combines adventure with culture. One day you're white-water rafting through dramatic canyons, the next you're exploring ancient towns or swimming in turquoise bays. It's the perfect balance for active families. My top tips are to pack water shoes for rocky beaches, a refillable bottle (tap water is safe to drink) and a lightweight cover-up to protect from the sun. A small daypack is handy for hikes and spontaneous swims."
Melissa B - Active Gozo
Melissa has enjoyed working in the travel industry for over 16 years. Her love of travel started at a young age on adventurous family holidays including snorkelling in Malta, a safari in Kenya and hiking and canoeing in Alaska and Canada.
“I’m obsessed with the Active Gozo trip – it's the perfect blend of adventure and island vibes! Imagine kayaking, diving and snorkelling all packed into one sunny, action-packed week. My top tips? Don’t forget reef shoes and a floating sunglass strap for when you’re near or in the water, stash some euros for local treats, the ice-cream shop in Xlendi is highly recommended, and don’t forget your sunnies and sunscreen."
Melissa P - Adventure in the Andes
With a decade of experience in the travel industry, Melissa loves helping families experience some of the wonders that she's been lucky to visit. Her favourite travel memories include visiting Machu Picchu, spotting the ‘Big 5’ in Tanzania, and soaking up the culture in Japan.
"There's something truly magical about the Adventure in the Andes trip that captivates me, because it blends ancient history, active exploration and cultural immersion - perfect for curious young travellers and their parents.
My top tips for this trip are to pack layers for varied altitudes, comfortable worn-in footwear for the Machu Picchu hike, insect repellent for the Sacred Valley and carry small Peruvian Soles for market shopping and tips. A good camera and a sense of adventure are must-haves!"
