21 Adventurous Family Travel Options

With the proliferation of passive technological devices available to both kids and adults alike, adventurous family travel options are a great way to keep everyone active when it comes time for a vacation. Adventurous family travel has always been a staple -- family RV trips being a notable example -- but family adventure vacations have come a long way since those halcyon days.

Entire travel agencies have sprung up to help families find a more exciting trip. Green Frog Adventures, for example, offers families pre-planned packages that range from a waterfall hike at La Fortuna to white water rafting on the Pacuare River. Princess Cruises also offers exciting family excursions at its port locations, including nature trips that let families play with wild birds, sloths, and kangaroos.

Beyond the trips themselves, there are products designed to make family adventures easier. The Lotus Everywhere Travel Baby Crib is a backpack that can carry supplies to a destination and transform into a comfortable baby crib upon arrival.
