10 top unusual adventures to book in February

Experience the warm hospitality of the Nubian people on a trip to Sudan. Stay in a traditional house in a village where the Islamic way of life is less strict than elsewhere in Sudan. Here, villagers readily speak to visitors, women don’t cover their faces, and a different language is spoken. Those seeking an extra special experience can even opt to camp out in the courtyard beneath the stars.

With slightly cooler temperatures through February, an active family adventure to Morocco will be comfortable for all ages. Surrounded by the towering peaks of the Atlas Mountains, you’ll explore the landscape by mule before settling into a remote village. Later you’ll visit iconic film sets at the Atlas Film Studios, and get cosy under the stars of the African sky at a desert camp.

Embrace the colder season on an 8-day Slovakia winter adventure, combining the breathtaking frosty landscapes of Poland and Slovakia. You’ll spend your trip learning to snowshoe, cross-country skiing at Strbske Pleso, and learning about avalanche rescue through an interactive activity. Taking a break from the great outdoors, you’ll also learn to cook traditional Slovakian dishes before digging into your delectable creations.

Refuel after a day’s walking in beautiful Galicia with a delicious plate of seafood, freshly caught in the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Highlights of this moderately-graded walking trip include the quiet fishing village of Camarinas, a hike to Cape Finisterre (a.k.a the ‘end of the world’) and the magnificent cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

Get the kids away from their devices as you spend seven nights of this two-week trip aboard a traditional style wooden gulet in Turkey, with other families to share the journey with. Parents and children alike will love swimming and snorkelling in the warm Mediterranean waters and kayaking over the submerged ruins of the Sunken City of Kekova.
