WHAT TO DO ON AN ACTIVE FAMILY HOLIDAY
On an active family holiday to Egypt you might be soaring down the Nile on a white-water rafting introduction excursion. In Australia, you might opt for a magical snorkelling experience along the Great Barrier Reef. Or perhaps you may wish to hit the slopes of Tremblant, one of Canada’s finest ski and snowboarding destinations.
Our collection of unmissable experiences will really help bring your active family holiday to life.
Nile White Water Rafting Introduction
Departs: Jinja
Experience the Nile's rapids without the risk of a flip and swim! Raft along a pristine stretch of this mighty and see the rapids from a safe distance. Stop for a barbecue lunch at an island in the middle of the river. After lunch you have the option to brave ‘Vengeance’ (Grade 4) or you can walk to meet the team below the rapid - the choice is yours!
Silversonic Snorkel Adventure
Departs: Cairns
This high-speed catamaran whisks you to three different Outer Reef sites at the stunning Agincourt ribbon reefs, meaning less travel time and more time in the water!

Kayak Lake Atitlan
Departs: Lake Atitlan
Glide across the glistening waters of Lake Atitlan in the early morning sun and paddle with your guide along the shore in the shadow of three towering volcanoes. Start early, when the calm and crystal clear waters of the lake are practically begging you to practice kayaking! Stop at the hot springs of Santa Catarina where you can take a dip and enjoy the stunning views.
Ultimate Rockies Explorer Ticket from Banff

Active Family Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Earl Dalton
Cancun is a fantastic place for families with a load of activities and day trips nearby. From the ancient Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá to the amazing natural waterpark of Xel-Há. Fun and adventure for all.
Jessica Stewart
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica is a great location for families with teenagers that are keen to tackle the surf! The area is home to some beautiful remote beaches with some very special hotels nestled along the coast.
Lucas Cabezas Tynan
Western Canada is one of the most beautiful places I've been to. Loads of places to visit, hikes to do, wildlife to see and a wonderful place to relax and do nothing if you wish. It’s a place for anyone that likes to be in nature – a perfect choice for families.
