introduction to Family adventure holiday in Spain
An action-packed week with great activities as well as the chance to enjoy the beach
Boots, Bikes & Boats
Your base is the small fishing village of Zahara de los Atunes, a relaxed seaside town with an 11km long sandy beach. From here you’ll stretch your legs with walks out into the countryside and around whitewashed villages. Taking to mountain bikes you’ll be able to go further afield, with great views out across to Morocco and the chance to visit Cape Trafalgar – famous for Nelson’s victory. Then onto the water to kayak around the beautiful Barbate Lake, where a stray splash is a great way to cool off as the temperature rises.
Activities, Activities, Activities
There’s stacks to do and plenty of time to chose your preferred option; the Straits of Gibraltar are a fantastic spot to see dolphins and whales on a boat trip. Sticking to the land, why not go horse riding, canyoning or walking in the spectacular Alcornocales Natural Park. If you want to relax a bit you can opt to spend time on the long sandy beaches of the area – or spice it up by trying your hand at windsurfing.

traveller reviews for Family adventure holiday in Spain
This was a good holiday, although we will be communicating with the operator direct about the poor quality of organisation on site. (more)
small group family holiday
This is a 'small group family adventure' - typically you will join several other families and travel in a group of approx. 16 people. The trips are great value and a great way for you and your children to meet new people! While itineraries are pre-planned there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of time to yourselves. Most adventure kids tend to be aged between 7 and 15, but some are younger (minimum age is usually 5) and some older (perhaps travelling as part of a larger family group). Please check with the operator to confirm the minimum age for this trip how this holiday makes a difference

Our stay employs the services of local people who depend on our visits for valuable income and we use locally run hotels and activity operators.
Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us. Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International. Plan works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems. Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full. Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
