COSTA RICA

Take a ride down the river or look for the endangered green turtles that nest on the Tortuguero shores. Older kids will enjoy hiking and rappelling the canyons beneath the Arenal Volcano, or taking a spin at white water rafting. Of course, you’ll find pristine beaches and kids of all ages will enjoy the surf and sand. Costa Rica offers a family-friendly vacation filled with adventure, fun, and memories – lots and lots of memories.
SOUTH AFRICA
Nothing says family fun like an African safari – the kid friendly kind, of course. Kids of all ages will delight at the diverse wildlife they will encounter. Let a ranger lead you on a drive through the mountain pass where the grassland views are stunning and the wildlife abundant. Don’t miss the Elephant Sanctuary; it is an experience your family won’t soon forget. When you travel to Africa, make sure you bring your camera, extra batteries and lots of memory cards because this is an adventure to remember.
SRI LANKA
This luxury family destination has something for everyone. The kids will love feeling like they are stepping back in time when they explore the fortress towns, or they may thoroughly enjoy taking in the beauty and wonder of one of the area’s amazing national parks. Mom and dad will love touring one of the gorgeous tea estates or hitting some of the cultural hot spots. Hit the beach or embark on a luxury mobile tent safari. Here, there is plenty of family fun to be had.
ISLES OF INDONESIA
Embark on an adventure of discovery and exploration as you go island hopping. Roam the lush jungles that cover the mountains, or walk the powdery beaches ringed with impossibly-clear, blue water. Even your teen is sure to enjoy the markets with their quirky trinkets and local cuisine. Bali is a great choice where you can go snorkeling, and ferry to an isolated beach for some quality family time – all in the same day.
OREGON, USA
If you want to score some coolness points with the kids, this is definitely the place to visit. A fun family getaway in Takilma allows you to forego the boring hotel and opt for fun, adventurous accommodations in a treehouse.
