Familymoons are a great way for newly blended families to share in once in a lifetime experiences while creating a bond that will last forever. It may be that first time you all go to Europe together, take a road trip cross country, volunteer in Costa Rica as a family or even an all out trip to Disney for the kids of all ages to enjoy. It’s the first time you vacation to learn about each other and for many it is the first time you keep a family journal about each day spent together. It is always remembered as the first time you took an adventure together. At Honeymoons.com we have searched the globe for the best Familymoons and best ideas for you and your new family to adventure to and have that trip you will never forget.
There’s the trip that is forgotten as quickly as the resulting suntan fades…and then there’s an adventure that redefines who you are, an experience in travel that lingers with you for years to come and becomes the benchmark by which all other vacations are measured. Enjoy a Costa Rica Familymoon Volunteer Adventure where you can stay at luxurious hotels, hike, bike and hang in the rainforests and volunteer at a wildlife rescue center. Learn more about the culture by choosing to stay with a nearby host family who will prepare local meals, teach the local customs and guide you around town. It will be an unforgettable Costa Rican holiday.
Why not “take the scenic route” and try a family adventure of whitewater rafting through Arizona. Float down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, enjoying unique view of one of the most popular natural wonders of the world. Many wonder why they waited so long to experience Arizona’s Grand Canyon from the bottom looking up verse those who view the Canyon from high up top.
One of the world’s great game reserves is a place called Shamwari in South Africa. This private game reserve boasts their well-awarded and super “Kids on Safari” program. This program includes action-packed days where kids ages four and older have the chance of a lifetime to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and Cape buffalo), view a special educational film, visit the Born Free Foundation and Shamwari’s Wildlife Hospital, stay at a traditional African lodge, and much more. (While children under four are welcome, they are too young to go on the game drives.)
When parents want family time while in paradise, St. Lucia offers an environment to explore, bond and relax. Enjoy adventures such as zip lining, kitesurfing and nature trails. Throw on your eye patch and hit the seas for a family pirate sail. Or spend a day at a waterpark where the kids can spend hours playing splashing away and the parents can enjoy a rum runner while floating the lazy river.
Many reasons families choose a "familymoon" is to get away from the stresses and distractions of daily life, and reconnect with each other. Belize is the perfect solution, offering the best of both Central America and the Caribbean. More affordable than other Caribbean destinations, Belize offers lots of wildlife encounters, action, adventure and fun in the sun! Head down the Moho River with the family and enjoy fishing, snorkeling, diving, or sailing or spend the afternoon swaying in a hammock as you reminisce over your family adventures.
In Mexico, families will find themselves immersed with Mexican and Mayan culture with fabulous shopping, great dining, and urban pleasures with endless beaches!

To the south, Mayan Riviera offers wonderful activities: visit & tour Mayan ruins, jump into the crystal blue waters to snorkel on the world’s second-largest barrier reef, swim in “cenotes;” and you must, must, must visit Xcaret eco-theme park. Known to many as the Disney World of Mexico. This park offers you everything from underground rivers, caves, animals, zip lining and more to experience in a day!
Families that love the great outdoors should add Colorado to their "Travel Bucketlist". Though skiing is a favorite pastime for this state, one of our favorite things to do is grab the cowboy hats and head down to the ranch. Our friends at Vista Verde Ranch offer a safe and adventurous experience with their kids program. Summer is the season for the traditional dude ranch stay. Horses, cookouts, green grass, quivering aspens and barn dances make your week one that will be looked back on for years to come. Whether you are introducing your kids to snow for the first time, or taking a break from the same downhill ski vacation you’ve done for years, Vista Verde provides a winter wonderland that is hard to match. Sledding, sleigh rides, hot chocolate, bubbling hot tubs, horses and snowshoes….the list goes on.
Quebec's French Canadian culture, welcoming people and beautiful sights make it a worth-while destination for a familymoon. The ice slide at Terrasse Dufferin, street performances in the Quartier Petit-Champlain, castle-like Chateâu de Frontenac and cozy buildings of the Old City will enchant visitors of all ages. Plan an early spring trip when you and your family can enjoy all the delicious fun that accompanies maple harvesting season. The cobbled streets, steep hills and stairs may make pushing a stroller a bit of a challenge, but this picturesque city is packed with tons of family fun.
