Why explore the world one way when there are so many ways for you to see it? On our multi-sport trips, your family will experience the land - and water - in a multitude of ways, each offering a unique perspective. Alaska, Costa Rica and Belize provide us with ideal environments for these exhilarating family vacations that include kayaking trips, rainforest hikes, zipline canopy tours, white water rafting and much more!
It’s one thing to learn about eco-systems in a book. It’s quite another to see them up close and through the eyes of our guides, who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with travelers, young and old. Ecuador and the Galapagos, Panama, Costa Rica and Tanzania are all home to wildlife like you’ve never seen before – from 500 pound tortoises to golden maned lions – you and the kids will be awestruck at all you’ll encounter on these Thomson trips.
How do you get your teens excited about going on a family vacation? Simple. Give them a vacation that includes what they like – adventure, challenge, time with peers, adrenaline-pumping action and time to chill. Plus, cool stuff that’s, well, too grown up for little kids (who by the way are not on the same trips) like learning to use a GPS tracking device in Ecuador, camping on the Inca trail in Peru and surfing in Costa Rica.
Our trips aren’t about dashing from tourist site to tourist site. They’re about experiencing a land through its traditions, customs and history, its people and archaeological treasures. China, Peru, Egypt, Turkey and Portugal are steeped in age old stories and ancient ruins that will boggle your mind. Why did the Egyptians make the Great Sphinx half human and half lion and how long did it take the Chinese to chisel more than 6,000 life size stone men?
