With the diversity of the United States, you can see and do just about anything your family desires. Booking carefully selected, authentic, local experiences will engage your children’s curiosity and spark their love for travel. After all, immersing them in a culture different from their own is the best learning experience there is. Let us know what excites you and discover the best American activities for some fun-filled days.
America’s flora and fauna is so impressive. Spot bears in Yellowstone National Park, explore the forests of Big Sur, get a bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon from a helicopter, or mountain bike through one of Utah’s National Parks. Sail the waters of San Francisco Bay past the Golden Gate Bridge. Go waterfall hopping through Yosemite National Park, the crown jewel of California. Your options are endless, with family-friendly private or small-group local activities, ranging from easy-going to adventurous.
Do you want to relax on the beach? Explore iconic cities like New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles? Hike in Monument Valley? We understand that with school-age children you’ll more likely be travelling to the USA during the UK summer months. Luckily, America is a beautifully diverse country that is great for travel year-round. Every season offers a new adventure, and each region has a unique personality of its own. Based on your interests and when you would like to go, your travel specialist can advise you on the best time to travel and the best regions to visit.
When considering a family holiday, we recommend booking about 9-12 months in advance. This ensures that you will secure the best accommodations for the best prices at the time you would like to visit. However, if you'd like to embark on your journey sooner we can still make it happen.
As the United States is the fourth largest country in the world, the travel opportunities for you and your family are endless. Whether you prefer snowy mountain tops, rough desert landscapes, big cities, or picturesque coastal towns, the USA is the perfect place to create those precious memories. For your family holiday, the question becomes, "How long do we have?".
To discover authentic America, we recommend travelling at a relaxed pace for a minimum of three weeks. If you have slightly less time, your travel specialist can help you choose the best regions that suit your wishes.
From coastal roads to panoramic mountain passes, and awe-inspiring desert landscapes, the United States is best explored by car. The roads are safe and the views are magnificent and ever-changing. For families, we recommend a self-drive holiday in a large SUV with plenty of space for the kids in the back. This allows you to explore off the beaten track places that group trips and campervans often cannot reach.
We highly recommend travelling slower as a family - stay in each place for two to five nights, driving less and exploring more, keeping everyone happy. No need to rush from highlight to highlight.
If you are thinking of renting a motorhome, talk to us now and discover why driving in a rental car is the best way to see the United States.
