"Family Adventures" are an upscale niche in the travel world: small groups are escorted to top spots such as The Grand Canyon, Alaska, safaris in Africa...
Family Adventures are typically offered by general "adventure vacation" companies, who put on special trips for families. Price is usually over $2000 per adult for 5 to 6 days, with a minor discount for kids. Guests enjoy an all-details-handled vacation,with no time wasted on hassles, check-in lineups, or any mediocre activity. "Multisport" trips might include biking, horseriding, kayaking, river rafting.
