    Roasting marshmallows around a campfire or hiking to a cave; bonding over an adventure - that’s what an Active Escape's family holiday package is all about.

    Friends united or the extended family-gathering, with occasion for uninterrupted connection and/or space – many of our trips and destinations provide the perfect opportunity for both.

    Most of our hiking trails can be taken on at a jog. We can combine hike days to make more of the mileages and with luggage transfers to the next lodge, you can run wild and free.
