Intrepid extends family offering with new Premium range

Adventure operator Intrepid Travel is bidding to heighten its appeal to families by expanding a range of dedicated holidays.

The new Premium Family range comprises of eight new trips across Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, India, Borneo, Vietnam, Morocco, Thailand and Egypt.

Designed for small groups of three to five like-minded families and led by Intrepid’s most experienced local guides, the itineraries combine "elevated" accommodation and extensive inclusions with child-friendly travel experiences, according to the responsible travel firm.   

The new range responds to a growing demand for “hassle-free” family travel, bringing together Intrepid’s most comfortable travel style – Premium – and its established Family range, which already covers more than 50 itineraries and recorded 19% year on year growth in 2025. 

A recent company survey of more than 2,600 parents across Australia, US, Canada and the UK found that 80% want their children to experience new cultures and destinations, while 70% place greater value on holidays where planning, logistics and other stresses are handled for them.  

Highlights of the new itineraries include a night in a Sahara desert camp on a 10-day Morocco itinerary; the chance for families stay in an overwater villa to kayak, snorkel and paddleboard in Borneo; or spot birdlife on a rickshaw ride through a national park in India.

UK general manager Joanna Reeve said: “Our new Premium Family range combines the comfort and convenience of our Premium offering with the immersive, child-friendly format of our popular Family trips.

“Led by our most experienced local leaders and featuring extensive inclusions, it gives families the chance to explore the world together without the stress of planning and logistics - from ziplining through the rainforest in Costa Rica to watching baby orangutans learn to climb in Borneo. 

“At the same time, it gives agents a strong opportunity to meet growing demand from families seeking shared, meaningful experiences.” 

Sample prices start at £2,790 per person for a seven-day Costa Rica tour in 2027.
