Why? Occupying one-third of Portugal, yet inhabited by just 6% of the population, the Alentejo, situated north of the Algarve, is beautifully unspoilt and gloriously peaceful. The region’s coast holds appeal for a broad spectrum of people, but particularly young families looking for fewer crowds as well as a number of activities to entertain the kids.
What? Head to the golden, rugged beaches along Portugal’s Alentejo Coast for a fun-filled activity holiday. If you can drag the children away from the seaside hotel’s two swimming pools, playground, mini golf and tennis court, there are plenty of activities to try out. From a day of surfing lessons and orienteering, to picnics in a pine forest and raft-building (including putting it to test on the water!) – all ages will be kept entertained. There’s also cycling, archery, abseiling and zip-wires to tackle, as well as plenty of beach time.
How? Activities Abroad offers a week-long trip to the Alentejo coast. The price includes seven nights’ hotel or apartment accommodation, return flights (London), return airport transfers, all breakfasts and six other meals. Opt for the number of activities at time of booking (all equipment, tuition and supervision from fully-qualified instructors included). Departure dates are available in July and August.
Price: From £795 pp (ideal for children aged eight years or older), based on a family of four sharing.

Why? It’s notoriously tricky to get teenagers enthused, but this diving trip to Borneo is sure to turn even hardened couch potatoes into scuba enthusiasts. The Sabah region of Malaysian Borneo is renowned for its spectacular subaquatic offerings. Think bright darting fish in a cocktail of tropical colours, idly gliding turtles and jagged forests of rainbow coral.
What? The trip includes a 3½ day PADI Open Water Diver course (age 15+) taught through classroom-based and practical sessions – the essential first step for all learner divers. There will also be the chance to enjoy Borneo’s wildlife above the surface, with a jungle night walk, rainforest boat trip, jungle rafting, and visits to an Orangutan Rehabilitation Sanctuary, the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary.
How? Departing 31 July & 14 August, Activities Abroad’s 11-night trip includes airport transfers, accommodation, daily breakfasts, nine other meals, all activities listed in the itinerary, and all equipment, tuition and supervision from fully-qualified instructors. Flights extra – Activities Abroad can advise on flight options.
Price: £2,375 pp (children aged 15-17), based on a family of four sharing.
