Vacations are always a special time for families. Kids can’t wait to play and have fun after a long school year, and parents get some time to relax and explore new places. However, they also can be a source of stress.

Between exploring new places, buying new things for your house and getting delicious food and beverages, the holiday season can get expensive. Additionally, you’ve got to keep the kids busy and entertained throughout the vacation.

You too need to have a proper holiday by reconnecting with your family, recovering your own energy and enjoying the outside. To do that, however, you need to get rid of the stress during your vacation and the first step toward this is to plan fun and interactive family activities.

In this article, we’ll show you some amazing holiday activities you should try out with your family during your vacation in the UK.

Let’s take a look!

  1. Go Off-Roading in Leicester

For the family that loves to enjoy an adventurous ride, off-roading in the UK can be the adrenaline-inducing activity you need. Parents and kids can get inside a 4×4 and speed on rough terrain to explore the wild forests. 

However, the activity may seem a little extreme for those who want to drive but haven’t tried off-roading previously. In such cases, you can prepare yourself by learning the basics and following the safety regulations. 

You can also contact a place like Avalanche Adventure for an off-roading experience, as they have trained professionals to look after you. If you enjoy this activity, perhaps you can suggest the same at your workplace for a nice, corporate team building day out.

  1. Go Sea Kayaking in South Wales

The southwestern area of Wales is known to have a beautiful coastline of golden beaches and massive cliffs. This is what makes it the best spot to try out sea kayaking and since it’s a wonderful place to visit any season, you can plan a trip with your family anytime you want to. 

Speaking of sea kayaking, it’s an entertaining family-bonding experience that requires co-operation to get the boat rowing into the sea.

If it’s not your cup of tea, you can try surfing, hiking, horse-riding or other exciting family-friendly activities on the coast. It’s a perfect spot to visit where you can have action-packed adventures or relax and enjoy the beach.

  1. Quad Biking in Leicestershire

If you’ve got older kids, there’s nothing more thrilling than taking them to a quad bike safari. Ride ATVs that support off-road races, giving you the thrills while driving fast and safe.

There are many places that offer an open track for you to ride your quad bikes. The best part, some of the tracks go through farmlands in the countryside, making your quad bike safari experience worthwhile.

  1. Fishing in West Scotland

The west coast makes for a breathtaking spot for family holiday activities in the UK with its wild sea lochs, massive island castles and beautiful seas.

You can book a small cruise ship to go fishing with your family. While you’re patiently waiting for fishes to catch the bait, you might spot otters, seals or even whales roaming in the sea.

Additionally, you can add eagle watching, swimming and beachcombing to the list of activities you’d want to try in West Scotland. It’s a beautiful place and your kids are bound to be excited when they spot a wild otter or seal.

  1. Explore Wildlife in the Cairngorms

You can explore the wildlife with your family by planning a trip to the eastern highlands of Scotland. While you’re there, do visit the pine forests and lochs to find some animals you’ve never seen before.

You can find otters, red squirrels, reindeer and hares during the daytime with the help of an experienced guide. Later in the night, you can make a campfire and watch the beautiful stars in the sky.

If you want, add some other family holiday activities like rafting, canyoning and horse riding to ensure both you and your kids have pleasant memories about this trip for a long time.

To Sum Up

We highly recommend travelling to these places during summertime, because that is when you can have the most fun doing these activities. It’s also a great way to spend some quality time with your family while trying out fun things.

Vacations are an important time to sit back and relax from your daily hectic life, so choose your place and have fun!
