Travel with teens
We'll let you in on a little secret: we love teenagers. Wonderful in their contradictions, these young adults are buzzing with energy one minute, sleeping for hours the next. They're curious about the world and on the cusp of independence but still very much in need of a helping hand from time to time. Add to that the demands of school and there's little wonder that they (and you) are frazzled. A family vacation is the perfect chance to throw aside the normal routine, reignite your closeness, laugh together and relax.
Our family travel experts are great at conjuring up itineraries with a twist, finding that little something that ignites your teenagers' imaginations, be it a hip hotel or one-of-kind experience they can't wait to share on social media. From tiger safaris in India, a graduation gift of exploring the Amazon rainforest in Peru, or gorilla tracking in Uganda, here are some suggestions guaranteed to delight both them and you.
