7 top trips for Kayaking with the Kids

Based on the island of Lopud, just under an hour by ferry from Dubrovnik, this week-long active family holiday in Croatia is ideal for water lovers. Spend the week exploring inlets, bays and neighbouring islands by kayak. Learn how to SUP (stand up paddle board), cycle on Sipan Island and venture into Dubrovnik to explore its winding limestone streets and grand baroque buildings. It's a great place for all the family to discover.

Combining vibrant culture, delicious cuisine and beautiful beaches, an active Thailand holiday with your family is a trip the whole family will love. In between exploring vast limestone caves and lush rainforests, you’ll kayak down the Khao Sok River, keeping your eyes peeled for colourful fish and inquisitive monkeys as you pass by the towering cliffs.

Take to the waters of Plettenberg Bay, hugging this unique stretch of coast in a kayak. Look out for the abundant marine life, like cape fur seals, bottlenose and humpback dolphins and a variety of sea birds, along the way. And if you love that taste of kayaking, you'll get further opportunities for optional kayaking later on in this action-packed trip.

Sea kayak in the calm, protected waters of the bay of Kekova. After a quick breakfast with coffee en route, paddle in the tranquil waters before any other boats or kayakers take to the water. It's one of the most scenic areas in Lycia with picturesque islands, bays and small ancient cities surrounding the famous sunken city of Kekova. The result of various earthquakes, there are partly submerged streets and buildings in the crystal-clear waters below, and even steps leading down into the depths of the bay. It's a great place for an adventurous exploration by water.
