Family Adventures Made Easy
Traveling with kids is rewarding - watching them light up at the sight of an exploding geyser in Yellowstone, hearing them say they haven’t missed their phone all week, or finding the courage for a whitewater rafting adventure through the Canadian Rockies — laughing through every moment.
Traveling with kids can also be challenging, especially finding the sweet spot where they are entertained, and parents get to unwind and have a vacation too.
On a family adventure vacation with Austin Adventures, you don’t have to worry about any of the details. We take care of everything — lodging, meals, snacks, fun activities, and learning opportunities. Plus expect to be amazed by our signature “WOW” moments that make lifelong memories for the whole family.

Highlights from Family Adventure Vacations
What Makes an Austin Adventures Family Vacation So Special?
Guides Your Kids Will Love
Our local guides are the best in the business and excel at making every experience fun for kids of all ages. While part of a ‘small group’ tour your family has individual needs, so your guide will take the time to get to know every family member and personalize the experience to ensure fun for everyone.
You'll notice the 'little things' like a specific music choice on the van playlist, a favorite snack magically appearing mid-hike, and extras to make family celebrations even more special. Our amazing guides will ensure this is an adventure your family will always fondly remember.
Discover Your Next National Park Family Adventure
With our 40 years of experience, we know the best ways to explore the national parks like no one else can. What’s our secret sauce?
We’ve done all the planning for you! No hours and hours of research ahead of your vacation to plan out your routes, your hotels, the must-sees, the best activities, or the food.
Imagine arriving to a beautifully prepared outdoor picnic with plenty of options for the kids to choose from. No standing in a long line for a mediocre sandwich at a national park cafe.
We know what reservations you need to have in place to maximize your time spent exploring our national parks. No having to find and book tough-to-get accommodations, restaurants, vehicle, or permit reservations.
Our guides know the routes so you can sit back and relax in our comfortable 15-passenger vans without having to worry where to turn next. No trying to connect to your maps app with terrible cell phone service while trying to navigate your way around a national park.
When the unexpected hits (due to weather or other unforeseen events) our team on the ground will keep you safe and looked after while our logistics experts action a “plan B”.
We make it easy, so you get the most out of your precious vacation time. Leave the planning and logistics to us – we're the experts with the local know-how and ‘can do’.
