Bonding Holidays

Those after some father-son bonding time will love our 4x4 safari adventure in Oman complete with your very own private guide. Together you can travel from Muscat through the Hajar Mountains, where you can abseil, mountain bike and laugh at each other trying to get on and off a camel. Make sure to brush up on your knowledge of constellations to impress your son while sleeping under the stars at the luxury Desert Nights Camp in the dunes of Wahiba Sands.

Don't worry, it's not just the boys who get exciting bonding activities: how about a mother-daughter horse riding holiday in the heart of the Andalucian countryside? Or if you'd rather fit the mother-daughter holiday stereotype, stay at Hacienda San Rafael hotel to enjoy some luxurious spa treatments, or take a stab at a yoga class, as laughing at each other attempting to do a 'downward-facing dog' is surely much more effective mother-daughter bonding than a trip to your local shopping centre.

For a whole family bonding trip, we could recommend a dhow safari around the Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique, a ranch holiday in the American West or a safari holiday in Namibia. What do all of these holidays have in common? A distinctive lack of 4G signal, making these holidays perfect for spending some quality time with those teenagers who share more of their lives on social media than they do with you. They'll probably be back on Instagram sharing photos of (and bragging about) your holiday the first chance they get, but at least you can be safely assured that your precious family bonding time will remain precious while you're there.
