Top 5 Educational Family Holidays

 

At Exodus, we believe that Family Adventures should be more than just lying on a beach - there are so many fascinating places, cultures and experiences out there which can provide kids (and parents!) with an appreciation of the world around them. Most importantly though, we know that family holidays should be about fun - although these trips are a great learning experience, there is also plenty of time for some relaxing, swimming, snorkelling or a whole host of other activities to make sure you come back from your adventure, refreshed, invigorated and having learned something new.

Our top 5 educational family adventures are:

1. THE LOST CITY OF PETRA

Byzantine mosaics at Mount Nebo, Jordan

Follow in the footsteps of Indiana Jones and appreciate the wonder of the Lost City of Petra, and enjoy the incredible landscape of Wadi Rum. After your desert exploration, take time to swim, snorkel or relax in the warm waters of the Red Sea:

  • Explore the fabled 'Lost City ' of Petra
  • Camp under the stars in magnificent Wadi Rum after a camel ride in the desert
  • Swimming (and floating!) at both the Red and Dead Seas.

2. CUBA SALSA!

Buena Vista style street band, Cuba

A Caribbean holiday with a difference - of course we take time to relax on the palm-fringed sands and to swim in the azure waters of the Caribbean sea, but we also explore the fascinating history of this island nation:

  • Fantastic Caribbean beaches
  • Explore the sites of Cuba's revolutionary past
  • Catamaran trip, crocodiles and steam trains!
  • Truck safari in Topes de Collantes National Park
  • Now with direct flights on Virgin Atlantic

3. INCAS & THE AMAZON

Children in traditional dress and terraces, Sacred Valley

This family adventure provides an insight into two fascinating aspects of South America - the first is the incomparable lost city of Mach Picchu, a truly breath-taking place however old you are. Then from our lodge, you get to explore the wildlife of one of the most biodiverse environments on the planet - the Amazon rainforest:

  • Explore the lost city of Machu Picchu
  • Discover the treasures of the Amazon from our comfortable lodge
  • Walk with llamas above the beautiful Sacred Valley

4. TAJ, TIGERS & TEMPLES

Taj Mahal, India

Northern India is home to two wonders of the world - the first is perhaps the most romantic building in the world, the Taj Mahal. The second is a wonder of wildlife - the beautiful and elusive tiger:

  • Exciting game drives in search of the elusive tiger
  • The magnificent Taj Mahal at sunrise
  • Holy Pushkar where we take a sunset camel ride

5. TUSCANY: PISA AND PASTA

La Pozza farmhouse accommodation, Tuscany

For something a little closer to home, pop across Europe to Italy and relax in our Tuscan farmhouse, take in the wonderful views and dip your toes in our pool. There's lots of great experiences too, with some pleasant country walks and a visit to historic Pisa:

  • Relax by the pool and enjoy stunning panoramic views
  • 7 nights in a renovated Tuscan farmhouse
  • Gentle wildlife walk through the beautiful Orecchiella National Park
