5 of the best family vacations in Europe

Europe has all the ingredients for a fantastic family adventure.
Whether you’re sea kayaking over sunken ruins in Turkey or abseiling down gorges in the Pyrenees, you’ll get a true taste of your destination on our action-packed European trips. Here are our top five European family adventures for summer.

1. Family Pyrenees Adventure

Spend a week in the French town of Sort, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pyrenees. Go kayaking or whitewater rafting along the rivers of Aigues Tortes National Park, or try abseiling down gorges or off-road mountain biking. There’s plenty of time to relax though too, and the hotel has its own pool and spa.

2. Family Dubrovnik and Croatian Islands Adventure

Spend a fun-filled week in Croatia sea kayaking around crystal clear craggy bays, stand up paddling at sunset and snorkelling along the picturesque Dalmatian Coast. Your base for the week is on the tiny car-free island of Lopud, just a short ferry ride away from the charming town of Dubrovnik. From here we'll explore the local area by water, and you'll have ample time to enjoy the pristine white-sand beaches, swim in the warm Adriatic Sea and spend quality time with the family.
