Australia family holidays

Round up the gang, we’re going on a proper Aussie adventure

Who needs an iPad when you have the Australian wilderness at your fingertips? From sunbaked deserts to giant gorges, and epic monoliths to lush waterholes, a family holiday in Australia is all about getting out there in the great outdoors. One day you might be wading through an echoey cave tunnel beneath an ancient mountain range, and the next, you’re searching for cute wallabies and freshwater crocs. With nights spent toasting marshmallows and sharing tales under the starry southern sky, get ready for some serious family bonding.

Why choose us

Family-only trips

These trips are for families only – including any grandparents, aunts or uncles who’d like to join, of course. As long as you’re travelling with a child aged between 5 (or 10 for some itineraries) and 17, you’re a family in our eyes. Plus, all travellers aged 17 and younger receive a 10% discount.

Like-minded travellers

Travelling with us is a bit like travelling with old friends. You’ll join a group of 3 to 5 families from all over the world, and the kids tend to hit it off straight away so you can enjoy some well-earned R&R. We often find that families stay in touch long after the trip ends. 

Small groups

Our groups are small enough to avoid the crowds and reach out-of-the-way places, but big enough for a good social mix. Our average group size of 10 allows us to hop aboard local boats, buses or trains, eat at family-run restaurants, and stay in traditional guesthouses and homestays. 

Kid-friendly itineraries

Boredom? Nope. The biggest challenge of travelling with kids is keeping them entertained, which is why our trips have plenty of fun activities and free time. We try to keep travelling time to a minimum and use hotels with pools. Your leader can also suggest activities based on your kid’s hobbies or curriculum.

Safety first

Our leaders are specially trained to run family adventures, so you and the kids will be well taken care of. You can also rest easy knowing we conduct safety assessments on all our activities to meet local standards as well as our own comprehensive safety policy.

Travel that gives back

As the world’s largest travel B Corp, we use travel as a force for good. We give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. When you travel with us, you travel with purpose.

Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Family Adventure

Anthena · Traveled July 2024
We did the Kakadu tour. While the incompetence of the office staff could have wrecked our trip all was saved by Maurice who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and did not miss out of the optional tours.

Great trip. Highly recommend. Fantastic for kids of all ages. Was great to just leave all the decisions and planning to the experts and the whole family enjoy the holiday.
