Active family holidays, that combine luxury stays and activities, are a key part of the range of family holidays we offer at Expressions Holidays. Active holidays for families that we arrange might be single-centre, family-resort-based holidays where a luxury resort offers an extensive range of facilities and activities for families and children of all ages. Water sports and land sports have flourished so that it is now possible to learn to sail or windsurf, do go-karting, take tennis or PADI diving lessons, and take part in sports academies for football, rugby, netball, golf, cricket and dance. Other active family holidays we can arrange are themed holidays such as holidays by train to Switzerland, Austria and countries of central and eastern Europe. A popular holiday for families with teenagers or children interested in Roman history is a holiday visiting Rome and the Colosseum, or staying near Naples and visiting Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum. We can arrange cookery holidays for adults and children at hotels in a variety of countries including France and Italy. Family safari holidays are offered in South Africa. Finally, we have an exciting range of touring holidays for families. These may be fly-drive holidays in Australia and New Zealand, constructed specifically with families in mind, including sightseeing and visits aimed at children, or they may be tours with a driver-guide in Sri Lanka, where you visit a mixture of cultural places, stunning scenery, take part in a safari and enjoy a beach stay. Similar tours are possible in Thailand and Vietnam.
