From the towering cliffs of Smith Rock State Park and a guided rock-climbing adventure to journeying to Yosemite and Big Sur, there are countless experiences to be had along the way.

Iceland

While Iceland may be known as a winter wonderland, the summer months bring endless opportunities for fun and adventure. With longer days and endless daylight, it’s perfect for exploring with your family. From whale watching to horseback riding, white water rafting, and more, Iceland offers unforgettable family experiences.

Tanzania

Tanzania is the perfect destination for a luxury family holiday this summer, offering a unique blend of wildlife, culture, and unforgettable experiences. The dry season during the summer months is ideal for game drives, where families can witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration.

Beyond the wildlife, there are opportunities for cultural immersion, meeting the Maasai and Hadza tribes, offering valuable lessons in history and community. Then head to Zanzibar’s pristine beaches with turquoise waters perfect for unwinding or snorkelling in vibrant coral reefs.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka offers everything - cultural immersion, wildlife, camping and something truly extraordinary. Dive into hands-on cultural workshops, learning traditional arts like pottery, weaving, and palm leaf craft while connecting with talented local artisans.
