Why choose us

Just for families

The clue’s in the title. These trips are for families only (including any aunts, uncles or cousins who’d like to come along, of course). As long as you’re traveling with a child under the age of 18, you’re a family in our eyes. Plus, unlike other travel companies, children aged 17 years and younger receive a 10% discount off the price of their trip.

Travel with other families

Traveling the Intrepid way is a bit like traveling with a group of friends. These trips are made up of 3–5 like-minded families, and the kids tend to hit it off straight away, allowing you to enjoy some well-earned R&R. We often find the whole family ends up making friendships with people from all over the world, staying in touch long after the adventure ends.

Small group sizes

Intrepid’s family group sizes are small enough to avoid the crowds and reach some 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 friendly, family-run restaurants and kick back in traditional accommodation and homestays.

Action packed

We know the biggest challenge on a family trip is keeping the kids entertained. So we’ve planned in advance. Nearly all of our hotels feature pools, and each day has a great mix of action-packed adventure and flexible free time. Your local leader can also suggest activities based on your kid’s hobbies or school curriculum.

Safety first

Our leaders are specially trained to run family adventures, so you’re 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.

Sustainable travel

We strive to use travel as a force for good. That’s why we choose to give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset all our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. We’ve been officially certified as the world’s largest travel B Corp, which means when you choose Intrepid Travel, you can rest assured you’re traveling to improve the planet.

Summer Pyrenees Family Holiday with teenagers

This trip was an amazing family adventure! It was the perfect amount of activity and fun, I felt challenged but never exhausted. Nick and Nuria were so welcoming and supportive of everyone's needs on the trip. The meals at the hotel were delicious. We loved getting to know our fellow travelers, having another family on the trip with kids of the same age really enhanced everyone's experience. I highly recommend Summer Pyrenees Family Holiday!

Northern Italy Family Holiday

Tracy · Traveled July 2024
We had a wonderful time on our Italy vacation. It was our first time and enjoyed experiencing several locations. There’s LOTS of walking so wear comfortable shoes. It’s quickly paced, with a nice tour of several areas. I recommend staying a few days after in Rome to give yourself lots of time to see everything. Pack lightly (large backpack or carryon size) because you are going to be on trains, some without assigned seats or luggage racks(limited space). Personally, I think it’s best for kids ages 10+. Smaller kids will have a harder time lifting luggage in the trains.
