Land Of Volcanoes - Family Holiday

This trip has been graded 'leisurely/moderate' and it is suitable for all people who are in good health and fitness. There is some gentle walking involved on most days. The excursion on Mt Etna is on foot and we walk for no more than 2 hours along some of the volcano's craters on hilly terrain of dried lava, rocky ash and sand. The paths are a little exposed and not suitable for severe vertigo sufferers. In unexpected weather conditions, the excursion on Mt Etna may be replaced with an alternative activity.

To book on a Family Adventure Holiday at least one member of the family must be under the age of 18.

If you are the sort of family that enjoys meeting other families and have a passion for discovering new places and trying new activities, then you’ll love going on a Family Adventure. With a Tour Leader to take care of daily arrangements, you can relax and get on with the serious business of spending time with your family and enjoying your holiday. And it’s not just parents who take their children away; we’ve had a number of children travelling with just their grandparents too!

Itineraries are carefully planned to provide a good balance of activity and relaxation time. You can opt to stay with the group all the time or go off and do your own thing every now and then. Your leader will be on hand to help you find your way and organise optional activities. And if the local food isn’t pleasing everyone in the party, it’s usually possible to sneak off to the occasional pizza parlour or similar, to get something a little more familiar.

Our holidays are designed to take you to unusual or remote places, give you exciting experiences and allow you to make the most of your precious holiday time. As with all adventure holidays, there is inevitably an element of risk that you might not find on a resort-based package. However, safety is taken very seriously and our professional leaders will take all necessary precautions to run the trip safely. You will get to see wonderful sights, have the opportunity to interact with local people and create memories that will stay with you forever. Come with us and let us share our passion for travel with you!
