There has been an increase in the demand for family adventure holidays recently as families look for ways of having a memorable break without the need to go abroad. The choices for travellers wanting to take this sort of holiday are vast and can range from a weekend adventure to a whole week’s experience. The type of activities that are on offer to families can be tailored to the ages of the participants and their fitness levels as not every family may want to take part in more risky pursuits.
A popular component of an adventure break is to go canoeing or kayaking down a river. This type of activity does need expert guidance but can be a thrilling way to spend a day and can often end with a drink or two at a local pub.
Walking and climbing holidays are another popular choice with some travellers who combine these activities with camping along the way. If members of the family are competent climbers then they will be aware of all the safety issues to consider when embarking on this type of activity.
There are some activity centres around the UK that give visitors the opportunity to take part in high rope climbing usually based in a forest setting. These centres give less experienced climbers the chance to safely participate in exhilarating activities under expert guidance.
