Family Friendly Tours

Take your children on an Australian adventure tour. We have plenty of Family-Friendly Adventure Tours in Australia here at Real Aussie Adventures.

These trips are recommended tours for families. Ages, as stated, are welcome on the tours. Mostly for those families with children over 5 years old.

Parents will always be responsible for their children at all times, with the tour guide there to facilitate the tour not as the babysitter. You will find your children are so engrossed in the flora and fauna of beautiful Australian outback regions they won’t have time to be bored or misbehave. A win-win for the whole family.

Australia is built for the perfect family adventure with so much wildlife, plenty of walking and swimming, and total outdoor living. Get the children away from the TV and Ipad for some family bonding and lots of learning about the culture and the great outdoors!

We have family adventure holidays all over Australia from The Whitsunday Islands to the West Coast. Our most popular family friendly tours are from Darwin to Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks.

On our family-friendly tours there are special child rates but also discounted family prices on some of these tours. So ask us at the time of booking and we can put your family package to Australia together.
