For an off-the-beaten path vacation fit for multigenerational families, book one of Wild Planet Adventures’ custom Wildlife Adventures itineraries. The wildlife experts at Wild Planet offer five flexibly designed, fully customizable family-focused trips that will captivate teens, spouses, and siblings, but won’t be too demanding for the grandparents. For example, on the 12- or 14-day Hidden Thailand Wildlife Eco-Tour, families can stay in a floating Aqua-Lodge surrounded by 3,000-ft. tall karst cliffs. They’ll also have the opportunity to explore by jeep and foot in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand’s largest and least visited National Park; bird-watch in the Doi Inthanon cloudforest; track wild elephants in Pa La-U; and tour Buddhist temples, hill tribes, night-bazaars and an eco-responsible elephant camp. More adventurous family members will have the opportunity to stay in a treehouse accessible by zipline, safari by long-tail boat and kayak to see the resident gibbons, langurs and clouded leopards, plus snorkel the clear turquoise waters of the Ko Tarutao archipelago. Rates for the Hidden Thailand Wildlife Eco-Tour start at $3,498 for groups of four or more persons including accommodations.
