Top Family Travel Trends in 2023

Get the picture-perfect family holiday in Seychelles and choose from the following activities:

1. Taste the national Creole cuisine - pwason ek diri (rice with fish), bourgeois fish, trululu crabs and much more. Rice and fish are the main participants in the Seychelles cuisine, and they are also suitable for a children's menu - they will be both tasty and healthy! I also recommend that you enjoy a family dinner at Takamaka Island, where the children will have the opportunity to watch the dolphins that swim up to the coast in the evening. 2. The program of active family holidays on the islands are diverse - diving in the lagoon among colourful fish, watching amazing birds in the jungle and, of course, giant land turtles. 3. Go on a glass-bottom boat trip. You may be able to observe green turtles in their natural habitat. And they are waiting for you - diving, kayaking, paddleboarding - and all this in the azure transparent waters of the Indian Ocean.

Little moments like these make up a dream vacation!

You will be surprised how easy a family holiday in Thailand can be. With a tropical climate and fantastic scenery - beaches, mountains and jungles - Thailand provides opportunities for everything from action-packed adventure to relaxation.

1. Bangkok

Explore the bustling Thai capital on a modern subway or take a canal boat ride across Bangkok. Bangkok has a lot to offer families with children of all ages, including attractions such as Kidzania, Bounce Inc Bangkok, Dream World Bangkok and Funarium.

Visiting temples The sheer size and intricate details of many of the temples (wats) in Bangkok will captivate children. There they will be able to get an idea of the culture and practice of Buddhism, the main religion of Thailand. Be sure to visit Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), on the territory of the Grand Palace; Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) with its 15m high, 43m Buddha; and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), which sits on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and offers spectacular sunset views

Exotic Wildlife

You should definitely visit the elephant sanctuaries located in northern Thailand with your children. Children will love this unique opportunity to join in feeding and bathing the elephants, as well as watching them interact with their family groups in their natural habitat. There are options for day or night visits.

Island tours by speedboat

What could be more exciting than a speedboat ride through the crystal clear waters between the tropical islands of Thailand? You can visit islands such as Koh Phi Phi, Phuket and Koh Samui, where you will certainly enjoy snorkelling, canoeing, or sunbathing on secluded beaches. For James Bond fans, the Phang Nga Bay Tour featured in The Man with the Golden Gun is not to be missed!

Ziplining

Are your kids unable to sit still? Invite them to fly like monkeys through the treetops. Ziplining in the Thai jungle with its many slides and suspension bridges is an exciting adventure where you can even see gibbons and other wild animals as you fly over amazing scenery.

Sri Lanka - for lovers of nature and the green jungle

Snorkel or dive in Hikkaduwa National Park with its incredible marine life and rocky islets, especially the famous coral gardens. Hikkaduwa Beach is a popular reef-protected spot and therefore offers shallow water ideal for children.
