Backroads Announces Top Destinations for Summer Family Travel Adventures
Backroads, the leader in active travel, today announced their top travel picks for family adventure tours this summer. From perennial family favorites like Alaska, Croatia, Iceland, Italy, France and Spain to the US National Parks, Backroads runs trips in 45 countries across the globe. Backroads is the only company to offer family trips designed for three distinct age groups—Teens & Kids (typically 9-16), Older Teens & 20s (17+) and 20s & Beyond (adult kids in their 20s)—so that kids and parents can spend quality time together and independently enjoy the company of their peers.
With over 30 years of experience creating and leading trips for families, Backroads offers Biking, Walking & Hiking and Multi-Adventure Tours around the world. Taking the hassle out of trip planning, Backroads runs trips that include fun activities and rich cultural experiences tailored to adults and kids. In South Africa, Tanzania, or Ecuador’s Galápagos, families can witness incredible wildlife in their natural habitat. Whether hiking in a national park, sea kayaking along the Dalmatian Coast, learning to surf in Spain’s Basque Country or riding horseback in Iceland, on Backroads trips, parents and kids of all ages experience one-of-a-kind adventures. Here’s a sampling of the Backroads Family Trip collection:
“There is something very special about summer family vacations,” said Backroads Founder and President, Tom Hale. “Last year families mainly stayed in the US due to Covid uncertainty, but this year we’re seeing families tilt back to international travel in a huge way. Because we’re anticipating this summer to be our biggest travel season yet, now’s the best time to lock in your vacation plans while space is still available.”
