Planning a trip for the whole family requires some serious forethought.

For your outdoorsy, adventurous and animal-loving brood, book an active Tanzania Safari adventure tour. Between hiking and biking tours, wildlife viewing and a visit to the Maasai Village, your family will explore Mt. Meru, the Ngorongoro Highlands and Serengeti National Park like pros — all while keeping the easily distracted kids engaged and in awe. Prepare for ample activity, culture and unbeatable photos during the 14-day trip.
Consider your environmentally aware teens and adult children on your next vacation with a Costa Rican Adventure. The protected habitat is yours to explore for nine days while your family whitewater rafts the Pacuare River, treks through Corcovado National Park, hikes the Irazú Volcano, snorkels, ziplines and rappels down waterfalls in Turrialba. Add on optional night hikes and picnic lunches for the full experience, or enjoy some downtime between adventures.
