The group trips have well planned itineraries led by knowledgeable local group leaders, taking all the hassle out of planning and running the holiday. In essence, families will see and do more. Family trips only run during school holidays and brochure prices include everything on the itinerary making it as clear as possible for parents when budgeting for holidays.
The Adventure Company positions itself as the ‘first for adventure’. Its range of tours includes both trips for active families and those for parents looking for more experiences from their family holidays – including families new to adventure travel. The trips encompass a wide range of adventures, from summer and winter multi-activity trips to trekking holidays for teenagers; cultural journeys; and wildlife safaris.

Under Adventure+ Exotic locations
People lured to stay in the UK by talk of a ‘barbecue summer’ this year may now be ruingtheir decision and considering a winter holiday instead. The Adventure Company has some fantastic winter trip ideas to suit all budgets and requirements.
“Winter is a great time to travel since most people will have extra time off work and school,” comments marketing manager James Ingham. “We would recommend booking early, however, since flight demand around Christmas is high and prices sky rocket on last minute bookings.”
Below is a small selection of affordable winter holidays with The Adventure Company.
Best for snow lovers: High Peaks Snowshoeing in Bulgaria
For one of the best value winter trips, head to the snowy mountains of Bulgaria for a winter trekking holiday – on snowshoes. This week-long adventure explores the dramatic snow-clad forests, peaks and valleys of the Rila Mountains. Daily hikes of four to five hours take walkers to sights including the 70m Skakavitza waterfall, which is often frozen solid in the winter; the historic Rila monastery; Mount Maliovitza; and the celebrated Seven Lakes area.
Departures are available between December and March with prices starting from £569 plus €125 per person local payment. Prices include flights, transportation, accommodation, activities as per the itinerary, the services of a local guide, plus most meals (seven breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners).
For full trip details, see High Peaks Snowshoeing in Bulgaria
For travellers wanting a family winter adventure, head to the Rhodope Mountains on the Bulgarian Winter Experience, to enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing animal tracking and star gazing
Best for sun-seekers: Felucca Adventure in Egypt
Egypt is one of the closest destinations to the UK for winter sun, also offering great value on the ground. A two-day Felucca cruise along the Nile is one of the trip’s highlights, with train, horse-drawn carriage and donkeys being amongst the other forms of transport use, all helping immerse travellers in to the Egyptian way of life. The 10-day trip includes all of Egypt’s iconic sights, including the pyramids, the Sphinx, Aswan, the Valley of the Kings, the temples at Luxor, plus Cairo, where there is free time to explore and test haggling skills at the bazaars.
Winter departures for the Felucca Adventure start from £749 plus £75 local payment per person. Prices include flights, transportation, accommodation, activities as per the itinerary, the services of a local guide, plus some meals (nine breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners).
For full trip details, see Felucca Adventure in Egypt
A family version of this trip, Feluccas and Pharaohs, is also available
Best for culture vultures: Salsa Cubana in Cuba
Latin America meets the Caribbean in Cuba and this trip combines fascinating culture and history with stunning scenery and tropical beaches. With warm temperatures on hand to cheer up your winter blues, Cuba is the perfect destination if you wish to escape the winter weather in the UK. The adventure starts in Havana with classic American cars, echoes of Hemingway and the sound of salsa beats drifting in the streets. Elsewhere on the 16-day trip, travellers will walk through the tobacco fields of Viñales, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Trinidad, visit colonial towns and relax on the beaches at Baracoa.
Salsa Cubana is available year-round but December to April are good months to travel – after the hurricane season and before the scorching summer. Prices for this winter start from £1,499 plus £155 local payment per person. Prices include flights, transportation, B&B accommodation, activities as per the itinerary and the services of a local guide.
For full trip details, see Salsa Cubana in Cuba
Families can enjoy a slightly more condensed tour on the Viva Cuba! trip

Under Adventure
Camping is a fun and exciting activity, especially if you love adventure and the outdoors.
Many people that go for camping trips are outdoor adventure types that enjoy roughing it. For them it doesn’t really matter as long as they are outside and in a forest or somewhere far away from city life. However, there are many camping sites which have mini-stores and supermarkets as well as gift shops, gas stations, first aid stations and much more. These camping sites are specifically designed for family and friends to go out and spend quality time together without feeling too cut off from civilization.
There are several organizations that plan camping trips where you can interact with other people that enjoy camping. If you decide to use an organization to plan your trip then you should be prepared to pay some cash for their efforts. These camping trips can include adventures such as white water rafting, canoeing, and various other sporting activities.
