Leaders in family adventure travel for over 20 years, they are
specialists in exotic and faraway places. Exciting destinations
include Alaska, Belize, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Egypt,
Panama, Peru, Portugal, Tanzania, Turkey and the Galapagos
Islands.
Our young travelers enjoy discovering the world
through guided outdoor adventures, wildlife viewing, cultural
exploration, pen pal gatherings and more. And parents appreciate
the family-friendly planning of a Thomson adventure, from
courteous guides and smooth travel transfers to delicious meals
and comfortable accommodations.
Convenient departures are scheduled to coincide with school
vacations, and dates are guaranteed, so your trip will not be
canceled. What's more, we provide travel insurance for no
additional cost.
Thomson Quality
Our trips are carefully crafted to ensure a family-pleasing
blend of outdoor activities, cultural exploration, great food
and comfort. Most of all, a Thomson trip is fun - small group
travel with families just like your own.
Our commitment is to provide family-friendly vacations, but what
truly makes us the world's best family travel company is our
relentless attention to detail. You'll be in good hands from the
moment you depart - we promise! - Rick Thomson & Judi Wineland
Pen Pals
Families love our pen pal program, an optional activity
matching children of similar ages to share letters and a
memorable meeting. It's a unique opportunity to learn more about
diverse languages and cultures directly from children worldwide.
In addition, we heighten your child's experience by providing
reading lists, journals and activities designed to bring your
destination to life.
Our Unique Mentoring Program
Groups of 8 or more travel with a mentor. Energetic,
enthusiastic and creative, mentors provide hands-on activities
and games to help your children make the most of their trip in
lands near and far.
Small Groups, Individual Attention
No one likes to feel like a part of a crowd. So to ensure
the highly personalized attention that makes our vacations
special, we limit each group to no more than 15-20 people.
Experienced Travel Partners
We work with experienced local partners who have acquired a
noteworthy record for safety, quality and comfort. And we choose
our guides carefully to ensure you'll have an outstanding
vacation. When you travel with Thomson Family Adventures, you're
in good hands every step of the way.
Guaranteed Departures
Since family freedom only arrives at certain times of the
year, we schedule our trips for winter, spring and summer school
vacations. Most importantly, we know family vacations can be
difficult to organize and often impossible to reschedule, so we
will not cancel a trip that's undersold - your departure date is
guaranteed!
Travel Insurance
Enjoy peace of mind. Your trip cost includes a policy with
Travel Guard providing coverage up to the trip value per person
for cancellation or interruption of your trip. Travel Guard also
provides coverage for trip delay, emergency medical treatment or
evacuation, lost, stolen or damaged baggage or travel documents,
or luggage delay.
Private or Custom Trips
If a scheduled group departure doesn't meet your needs,
we'll arrange a private trip, custom vacation or even a small
group tour for families who enjoy traveling together.
All Kinds of Families
Our groups include two-parent and single-parent families and
young travelers ranging from toddlers to teens. Each group
departure is planned to include children of similar ages to
ensure a rewarding and enjoyable experience for all.
Family Reunions
Would you like help planning your next family reunion? We're
here to assist you with special itineraries and flight
arrangements.
Grandparents Too!
Thomson Family Adventures will make your vacation a joy,
with plenty of time for you to share cherished moments with your

children their own age.
