Family adventure holidays don’t have to be just for parents and children. Travelling with grandparents can be a wonderful way to spend time together, experience somewhere new and create memories that you’ll all treasure for years to come. Planning a multi-generational family adventure might seem like a challenge, but with plenty of adventures designed for all ages, we’ll take care of the logistics so you can focus on enjoying the experience together. We’ve picked some of our favourite family activity adventures that are particularly well suited to travelling across three generations - because some of the best family adventures are the ones you experience together.

A safari holiday is an adventure that really can be magical for every generation and age. Whether you’re eight or eighty, there’s nothing like the feeling of spotting your first elephant, watching a herd of buffalo or seeing wildlife gather at a waterhole. It’s an experience that brings everyone together and makes for one of the best family adventure holidays.

Our South Africa Lodge Safari is particularly well suited to a multi-generational family trip, combining incredible wildlife with comfortable lodges, shorter travel days and a varied itinerary. There are game drives and walking safaris for those who want to get out and explore, boat trips and community visits to discover more of the region, and even a toboggan ride for anyone looking for a little extra excitement. With so much variety, it’s a great example of family multi activity holidays, with something different to enjoy each day.

With activities largely optional, everyone can enjoy the holiday at their own pace, whether that’s heading out to spot wildlife or enjoying a quiet afternoon by the pool. Staying at smaller lodges, gathering around the campfire at the end of the day gives everyone a chance to swap stories about what they’ve seen. These are the moments that make family adventure travel so special - shared experiences and magical memories that will be treasured for years to come.

A family adventure holiday in Costa Rica has something that every generation will adore. The wildlife spotting opportunities alone are enough to keep everyone excited, from watching monkeys through the trees and colourful toucans to searching for sloths in the rainforest. On our Costa Rica Family Adventure, you will explore the rainforest on foot and float through the canals of Tortuguero National Park in silent canoes, getting close to wildlife together.

There are plenty of shared experiences along the way too, from walking among the treetops and heading out on a night-time wildlife walk to cooking with fresh, local ingredients. And if you’re all up for more adventure, there’s the option to take on the rapids together. From the excitement of spotting your first sloth to staying off grid in a remote rainforest eco-lodge, Costa Rica is full of those unforgettable moments and a great choice for a family activity holiday that grandparents, parents and grandchildren can experience together.

With time to relax on the beautiful Indian Ocean coast at the end, this is a bucket-list adventure filled with experiences you’ll be talking about long after you return home. This is one of the best adventure holidays for families looking for plenty of shared experiences without every day needing to be full-on.
