Family North America Holidays

Forget cold caravans and damp seaside holidays. On North America family holidays you’ll be treated to sun, sea and spirited cities. Put down the bucket and spade and pick up the sunglasses as you traverse down coastlines, through cities and across national parks. Almost every possible base can be covered across this vast continent, sometimes in one trip, from beaches and national parks to mountains and cities. With Canada to the north, Costa Rica to the south and a whole lot in between, North America family holidays provide adventure, wildlife and scenery unlike anything your mini travellers will have experienced before. Ranching holidays in the American West make for a brilliant family holiday option once the children reach about the age of ten, while road trips and more adventurous holidays through Canada are ideal for hard-to-please teenagers. Kids interested in wildlife will love spotting lots of weird and wonderful beasties in the jungles of Costa Rica, while for complete relaxation we know the very best family-friendly resorts in the Caribbean.
