Travelling with an experienced local leader and three to five like-minded families, travellers can enjoy fully planned trips that feature shorter travel times, kid-focused activities and purpose-led cultural experiences, creating meaningful, hassle-free adventures for parents and children alike. Intrepid’s family bookings have risen 31% year-on-year in 2025, reflecting the broader growth of family travel as one of the fastest-expanding sectors in tourism. With the expansion of family travel being a key focus for Intrepid, children will now have 20% off the full price of Intrepid family trips. It follows new customer insights showing that Intrepid travellers prioritise value for money, creating memories and learning about other cultures when planning a family holiday. Spanning four continents, the 10 new adventures include Greece, Slovenia, Turkey, India, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and Ecuador, featuring authentic locally led experiences designed to help families connect, learn about different cultures and create lasting memories together.

It’s exciting to see this category evolve and to design experiences for curious travellers of all ages. Our family adventures take the stress out of planning so families can simply show up ready to explore, connect and create lifelong memories together.” Intrepid offers family trips in its Basix, Original and Comfort styles of travel, catering to different budgets and accommodation preferences.
