Asia family vacations

When you’re young, Asia is so much larger than life – it’s like a whole new world

Asia is a dazzling hotspot of experiences for young travelers. Roadside hotplates fill the air with unknown spices, centuries-old monasteries overlook spectacular mountains, and caves lie in wait beneath swathes of jagged limestone. One minute you’re rafting down frothing streams, stalking tigers in the wild and zip-lining through jungle so green it looks like a cartoon; the next you’re riding the rails with monks, robot-dancing in technicolor super-malls and slurping broth with locals in their homes. For the young ones, it’s pure discovery, and for the seasoned travelers among us, its delightful contradictions never fail to astound.

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.

Vietnam Family Holiday

Sandra · Traveled July 2024
Wonderful family trip to Vietnam with 8yr old and 12yr old. Itinerary was well paced for families with plenty of included activities and free time with options given for where to eat and what to do/see at each stop. Takes all the logistic worries away so you can just relax and enjoy the holiday. Highly recommended for family travel.

Borneo Family Holiday

Lucinda Susan · Traveled July 2024
We didn’t know what to expect when we booked intrepid. When we met chichi and our group everyone settled in really fast, we held turtles, swam with fish, visited orangutans, and heaps more! I’d definitely come back to do this all over again.
