The best way to see Tortuguero National Park, in Costa Rica, is by boat.
Before you go, verify age limits for children’s activities, and remember: some sites may close unexpectedly, or have limited hours due to weather or other factors. If you’re a U.S. citizen, visit the U.S. Department of State website for information on required documentation, vaccinations, health and safety concerns, currency restrictions and more.
Iceland
Intrepid Travel
Look for plunging waterfalls and the Northern Lights in Iceland.
Sure, Iceland is cold, but there’s still plenty to do on a Winter Iceland Family Adventure. Kids age 12 and up can snorkel with you in the crystalline waters of the Silfra fissure, an opening between the North American and Eurasian continents. Explore the old harbor and famous Hallgrimskirkja church in Reykjavik, the capital city, and then venture into the largest man-made ice cave in the world, at Langjokull Glacier. The whole family can learn how the island’s natural phenomena were formed by volcanic and geothermal forces when you hike at scenic Skaftafell National Park.
Namibia & Botswana
Intrepid Travel
Arid Namibia lies between the Namib and Kalahari deserts.
Climb a sand dune to watch a fiery sunset on a Family Adventure in Southern Africa. And Botswana, in southern Africa. Tours leave from Windhoek, once a German colonial city and now the capital of Namibia. The land looks other-worldly, with its shimmering sand dunes and dried lakebeds, but this is a great place for kids (and adults) to learn about desert ecology and the region’s history. Guides lead interactive walks into the bush and explain the tracking skills and survival methods used by the San tribe, inhabitants of this area for over 30,000 years. You’ll pass hippos and elephants as you paddle canoes through the Okavango Delta, one of the best places in the country to spot animals and birds. The journey ends at Victoria Falls, known as the world’s largest waterfall, in Zimbabwe.
Northern India
Intrepid Travel
The Taj Mahal is India's famous monument to love.
If your children have read Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, they’ll expect India to be bursting with sights, sounds and colors, and they won’t be disappointed. Sample delicious curries, ride a train through rural villages, and photograph the iconic Taj Mahal (note: the main dome is being refurbished, starting in April 2017) on a Comfort Northern India Family Holiday. You can look—from a safe distance—for tigers in Ranthambore National Park, visit temples and smell spices and incense as you stroll through markets and bazaars. In the city of Jaipur, shop for textiles and pottery as camels, rickshaws and motorbikes go by.
When the weather is fine we like going to the nearby forest on a picnic. This habit starts from early spring and continues till the end of October. In our region the weather is still fine even in the beginning of November. We are lucky to be living on the fringe of the forest, which has become a multifunctional area for us. After the rain we normally go there to pick some mushrooms. In spring and summer it’s a good time to pick delicious berries.
Every member on the team has his or her own duties. One of my friends is very good at playing the guitar. So, he carries it along to play some nice music for us near the bonfire. Another friend is rather good at making baked potatoes, so he is responsible for our dinner. Music and good food is not the only reason to arrange a picnic in the forest. Apart from that, there is a nice and clear lake where we can swim if it’s hot. After a good swim we can play volleyball or football in the outer wood.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that everyone would like to change the scenery once in a while and to relax in nature’s lap, so picnic is an ideal occasion for that.
