Group Travel with Other Families

Many of our family trips are offered on set dates for small of 4-12 participants.  Our family group trips vary in activity levels from touring with optional hiking to active adventures. Family accommodations vary from deluxe lodges to full-service camping.  Some trips are focused on wildlife, some on cross-cultural interaction, some on both. Find a family trip that interests you and note the summary information in the right column. If specific dates are provided, then the trip will be run as a pre-scheduled family group trip. Even if no other families sign up, usually we are able to run the trip for your family with only a modest additional surcharge.
