Intrepid has unveiled 10 new family adventures for 2026, bringing its range of family-friendly trips to 50 worldwide.

Spanning four continents, the 10 new adventures include Greece, Slovenia, Turkey, India, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and Ecuador.

Intrepid offers family trips in its Basix, Original and Comfort styles of travel, catering to different budgets and accommodation preferences.

With the expansion of family travel a key focus for Intrepid, children will now get 20% off the full price of Intrepid family trips. Children can join trips from the age of five and are eligible for the reduced pricing until they turn 18.

As part of this offering, Intrepid also runs Teenager Trips with active itineraries designed specifically for older children between 10 and 17 years old.

The addition of more trips follows customer insights showing that Intrepid travellers prioritise value for money, creating special memories and learning about other cultures when planning a family holiday. 

Intrepid now offers one of the most extensive family adventure offerings in the industry, with family bookings rising 31% year-on-year in 2025.

This reflects the broader growth of family travel as one of the fastest-expanding sectors in travel.

Travelling with an experienced local leader and three to five like-minded families, families can enjoy fully planned trips that feature shorter travel times, child-focused activities and purpose-led cultural experiences.

Some of the trips include a wild adventure through the Amazon Rainforest on a 14-day Ecuador Amazon and Galapagos Family Holiday spotting seals, giant tortoises and pink iguanas.

On its 10-day East Africa Family Safari Comfort guests will experience stargazing from an overnight safari camp in the Serengeti and the seven-day Slovenia Family Holiday with Teenagers offers rafting down the Soca River and cycle rides along the scenic trails of Kranjska Gora. 

Intrepid’s new family trips are available to book now, with departures from March 29, 2026. The reduced children’s pricing applies to any family trip departing from 2026 onwards. 

“Family travel is one of the largest and fastest-growing segments in the industry, and we’ve seen strong growth in our family trips over recent years,” said Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel. 

“Too often, people think they have to wait until their kids leave home to properly travel again, but with over 50 dedicated tours and one of the most generous children’s pricing policies in the industry, we’re making it easier than ever for all types of families to explore the world together.” 

“One quarter of our family travellers are single parents, and we’re also seeing intergenerational travel becoming more popular. 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.”
