Long haul family holidays - what we offer

Iceland & Florida family holiday

Explore Iceland’s outstanding natural wonders, beautiful wildlife and quirky towns and villages before moving on to a classic beach break on the east coast of the USA - an unusual combination of activity and relaxation.

We've packed this twin-centre family trip with incredible contrast! Begin in Reykjavik where you can take your time exploring Iceland on your road trip, looking out for gushing waterfalls and mighty geysers and stopping to pet Icelandic goats as you go. Next, you’ll fly on to Florida for some quality family time and some sand castle building on the picture-perfect white sands of St Pete’s Beach, with a city break in Miami – as Travel Nation’s Helen discovered on her first family holiday with a baby.

USA family holiday

From moose-spotting in a national park to a cycle ride over the Golden Gate Bridge; devouring a stack of pancakes to wandering among towering Redwood trees – the USA has all the right ingredients for a memorable family holiday.

It’s easy to combine Californian cities with the scenic coastal drive between San Francisco and LA; choose a car or campervan and you can enjoy July and August’s hot summer temperatures and the lure of the beach. Venture inland to pretty Lake Tahoe, hike through Yosemite’s peaceful wilds or visit the Grand Canyon as Travel Nation’s Chris discovered with his family. You could extend your trip through northern California, along Oregon’s rocky beaches and up to Seattle or even Vancouver.

Bali family holiday

For sun-seeking families, Bali is a brilliant choice for your summer holiday. As a destination it averages above 25 degrees year-round. It’s easy to cycle around so kids can ride through rice paddies and learn more about local life and there’s a huge variety of beaches from Lovinia’s volcanic black sands, to the white sands of Sanur. Neighbouring Nusa Lembongan has an even slower pace, or you can drift over to the scenic Gili Islands near Lombok for a few days.

We can build you a trip that introduces the kids to Balinese culture, gives them the chance to haggle at a market, have monkeys climb all over them at the Sacred Monkey Forest and spend some serious snorkel time down on the beach! UK summer is peak season for Bali, so we advise you to book well ahead, or we can find you great places to stay that are a bit more secluded than the main resorts.

It’s also worth knowing that Bali is a 2.5 hour flight from Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory, so if you have the time, we can twin both destinations.

Fiji family holiday

When it comes to the South Pacific islands, Fiji really does offer something for all ages. If you’re looking for luxury, you’ll find it, and if you’re simply on the lookout for an island retreat where you can sling a hammock each – Fiji’s Yasawa Islands offer that too.

Fijians adore children and their whole culture is set up to nurture and entertain kids, from the many kids clubs, to visiting a tribal village, to learning local crafts like weaving. Whilst you’re unwinding, your kids will be in safe hands, learning crafts, sand-boarding down the dunes or kicking about a football with their new Fijian friends! June, July and August have the lowest rainfall and high temperatures, so summer holidays are a great time to visit Fiji – either as a standalone destination or twin it with a city break on the way!

Cook Islands family holidays

A summer holiday in the far-flung Cook Islands is the retreat you need if you’re looking for a way to slow the pace, as you gradually slip into ‘island time’. To reach these South Pacific isles you can fly via LA with a few days stopover, but once you land on Rarotonga, you could be on the beach within an hour!

Here, your family can expect a real retreat; paradise beaches and picturesque lagoons, hiking trails through the jungle and bathwater-warm swims in a lagoon. We recommend you head over to Aitutaki lagoon on a breath-taking scenic flight. Kids will be intrigued to find out more about Polynesian culture by attending an ‘island night’ or a local church service to discover more about local life here.

The Cook Islands can easily be added on to your Australia or New Zealand holiday too, for a multi-centre holiday.
