Trips for families with...
TEENS & KIDS
AGES: 4–19
Imagine a vacation where you hear yes more than no, and teen drama magically turns into reconnecting. It actually happens when you discover a new world as a family—and then the kids head out to enjoy cool activities with our equally cool leaders, while you explore further on your own… or just relax by the pool. Time together and time apart means a more rewarding time for everyone. Best for kids aged 4–19.
Note: Some trips have age restrictions for certain activities. Learn more
Trips for families with...
OLDER TEENS & 20s
AGES: 17–23
They’re more independent every day, with busy schedules (like yours) that make it hard to get quality time together. So here’s your chance: trips tailored to varied interests and energy levels, with just the right mix of family activities and adventures with new friends to ensure a great shared experience. Discover itineraries around the world for everyone from experienced hikers to casual cyclists who like to take their own sweet time. Designed for families with one or more kids 17 or older (siblings 14+ welcome on all trips; 16+ on Dolce Tempo trips).
Trips for families with...
20s & BEYOND
YOUNG ADULTS: 20s–Early 30s
Now launched into careers or grad school or their own ventures, your young adults have full calendars. But they’ll make time for a fun break from juggling life’s new demands, especially when they can travel with you and their peers. It’s more fun for the 20-somethings and for the older generations. Designed for families with one or more young adults 20 or older (siblings 17+ are welcome as well).
It was awesome! This trip was a graduation present for my daughter. We had an amazing experience and sharing this experience with her was a gift to me! Thank you and I am looking forward to another Backroads adventure!
Backroads was an amazing experience. Our trip far exceeded our expectations—and was literally, the trip of a lifetime.
