Ideas for Fun Adventure Family Vacations to Take Your Kids On
By Christy Tanner
Sometimes when we plan our family vacation we want to do something completely different from other vacations. I have researched a few vacations that are unique, but also fun. So include that fun factor with your decision and it will make for a memorable family vacation.
First, if you like Tropical Islands and relaxation, a few ideas you might want to consider are:
Cruising Around the Barrier Islands
How about a day of shelling on deserted beaches, or perhaps swimming in emerald green water, or even fishing under the stars relaxing at night? If these ideas sound like fun to you, then try these islands out … Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva and Cavo Costa which are all off the Southwest Florida coast. This could make for a memorable time for you and your family. You will create new memories with your family in this once in a lifetime vacation that your kids will always remember.
Kelsey Family Dude Ranch in Montana
How about you and your family roughing it out while you leave the rest of the world behind. Leave all of your computers, tvs, radios, cell phones, and PDAs behind. Check out the Kelsey family dude ranch. This unique ranch offers a family oriented and authentic dude ranch experience for families. You might even want to consider holding a family reunion here for an experience that is easier (no one is stuck doing the cooking or cleaning) and memorable. Daily ranch activities include the ever popular horseback riding, weekly gymkhanas, even an all day ride with a tent packed for an overnight trip.
Blacktail Mountains In Montana
A great mountain range to check out is the Blacktail Mountains. This is part of an 8,000 acre jewel with unique activities for your entire family. This working guest ranch offers horseback riding, bird watching, mountain bike riding, cave school, and more for all family members. Go to the Blacktail Mountains and find out what many families have already discovered…that the Blacktail Mountains is the prettiest place in the world hands down. Try out the BlackTail Ranch.
The Amazons
The Amazons
The Amazons
Another unique and great adventure to take your family on is the Amazons. There are three accommodations that are still unspoiled. Each location offers a different experience and the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful Amazon. The three locations are Jungle Lodge, River Lodge, and Jungle Camp. Any of the choices will leave you happy.
Grider Hill in Kentucky
A great lake to check out on vacation is Grider Hill. Grider Hill is a 50,000-acre lake that stretches across 100 miles. The water shimmers as you look out onto it and the shoreline is huge. In fact, to see the whole lake you would need to travel 1,225 miles by boat. Along the shore you will witness the foothills of the Cumberland towers, and the foliage is of hardwoods, hemlock, cedars, and pines. Visit Grider Hills Lake Dock.
White Sands Cove
For a perfect beach setting in a tropical surrounding, check out White Sands Cove in the Caribbean. There are fresh pools, island spas, a dive shop and so much more to experience.
F5 Tornado Chasing Safaris
A very unique and fun adventure is the F5 Tornado Chasing Safaris. F5 tornados will bring you face to face with the most severe weather in the world. F5 tornados separate themselves from the competition by limiting tours to a maximum of two suburban, and only four people per vehicle. Talk about an adrenaline rush for your family!
Plummer’s Arctic Lodges
The best fishing around goes to Plummer’s Arctic Lodges. In the morning you are given a hot breakfast and a nice pot of coffee, and then your guide is waiting for you after you are done eating. They take you out for some great fishing.
Bar W in Montana
To find out what you can do this summer or winter time, check out the Bar W in Montana. The countryside will swallow you in beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a life free of laptops, phone, and faxes. You will also find horses, cattle, mountains, and green grass. Activities include Winter Horseback Riding, Snowshoeing/Hiking, Ice Fishin, Ice Skating, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Sleigh Ride Dinners, Square Dances, as well as a kids club.
Rock Springs in Florida
How does a horse adventure sound to you? This family vacation idea includes Horses and people together in a great adventure. Check out Rock Springs and their activity programs. At the ranch, children will make new friends, and you have the great pleasure of knowing that the kids have experienced one of the best vacations of their life. Check out Rock Springs Riding Ranch and Stables.
Greenhorn Creek in Quincy, California
How about try out a family adventure of a lifetime in Greenhorn Creek. This family vacation is supposed to be one of the best-in-the-west riding, lakes, and streams vacations ever. Plus there are acres of national forest and mountains, a wonderful down home hospitality, barbecues, hayrides, meals, and a great place to sleep. Greenhorn Creek will change your life.
Dale Hollow Lake at Sulphur Creek Resort in Kentucky
Another family adventure vacation idea is to visit the Dale Hollow Lake’s Complete Vacation Center, which you can experience while at the Sulphur Creek Resort. You can rent deluxe houseboats, and luxury cabins for a great time.
Lake Cumberland in Kentucky
On this family adventure vacation you will have the chance to captain your own houseboat. Explore the wonderful Lake Cumberland, which we’ve talked about in another fun vacation for families. If you are interested in this vacation, visit the state dock marina services for more information.
Tsylos Park Lodge in Chilko Lake, BC Canada
If your family enjoys fishing together then consider a fly fishing vacation for the family by going to Tsylos Park Lodge which is a vacation primarily for fly fishing enthusiasts. You will fish on the Chilko water system which is full of Rainbow Trout as well as other fish.
Galapagos Islands
Finally the ultimate vacation that I would love to go and see is a visit to the Galapagos Islands. You can see the wildlife and enjoy hikes, kayaking, rafting, canoing and fishing. There are five islands to visit. Like I said I think this would be the greatest vacation possible.
It’s strictly up to you and your family when deciding what and where you want to go. Make it a decision made by all and everyone will enjoying it that much more.
