Sample Family Adventure Holiday
The trip I've sample personally --a Yellowstone outing by Austin Lehman -- featured hiking, rafting and horsebackriding.
In this amazing National Park we viewed wildlife
and hiked with a naturalist; visited hot springs, mud pots, steaming
cauldrons, belching dragons, and other "geothermal features"; and stayed at
wonderful places including the architectural
marvel, the Old Faithful Inn.
Throughout, our group of eleven was helped in every possible by
three guides.

Price and Quality
Family Adventure holidays aren't for the faint of pocketbook. But sometimes you-get-what-you-pay-for: and what these companies promise is a quality vacation with no time wasted on hassles or anything mediocre: someone else has done the groundwork and the legwork, sussed out the best spots and experiences, and booked you in. What you get is a deluxe, hassle-free, and very memorable adventure with your family.
