When it comes to selecting the right tour for young adults, there are several essential factors to consider. Firstly, the destination plays a crucial role in determining the kind of experience one seeks. For instance, if young adults are looking for a vibrant and culturally rich experience, they might opt for a tour to Vietnam , where they can explore the bustling streets of Hanoi, indulge in the delectable street food, and cruise through the stunning landscapes of Ha Long Bay. On the other hand, if they are more inclined towards adventure and natural beauty, a tour to Iceland could be the perfect choice, offering opportunities to witness the spectacular Northern Lights, hike across otherworldly terrains, and relax in the rejuvenating geothermal springs.

Budget is another significant consideration. Different tour operators offer varying price ranges, and it’s essential to find a tour that aligns with one’s financial plans. For example, Contiki is known for its budget-friendly tours tailored to young adults, providing the ideal balance of affordability and quality experiences. Additionally, the specialisations of different tour operators also play a vital role in decision-making. For instance, G Adventures is renowned for its sustainable and community-focused approach, making it an appealing choice for young adults who are passionate about responsible travel and supporting local communities during their adventures.

By considering these factors, young adults can ensure that they select a tour that aligns with their interests, preferences, and budget, setting the stage for a meaningful and fulfilling travel experience that resonates with their sense of adventure and exploration.

It’s also valuable to seek guidance from testimonials of fellow young adults who have been on these tours. Their experiences can offer crucial insights into the tour selection process, shedding light on the overall ambiance, the quality of accommodations, the level of on-the-road support, and the diversity of activities offered.

For example, testimonials from travellers who have embarked on tours with INTRO Travel often highlight the unique and immersive experiences they encountered, from creating lasting friendships to discovering hidden gems within the destinations. Moreover, hearing directly from fellow young adults who have experienced these tours provides a real-world perspective on the adventure, camaraderie, and cultural immersion that define these travel experiences, helping future travellers make informed choices about their own tours.

By considering these testimonials, young adults can gain a comprehensive understanding of what to expect and how to choose the tour that best suits their preferences and aspirations, ensuring a memorable and fulfilling travel experience.

An escorted tour is a fantastic way for young adults to explore new places while enjoying the security and convenience of having travel details handled by professionals. Picture this: you’re travelling with a group of fellow young adventurers, led by a knowledgeable guide who takes care of all the logistics – from hotel bookings to transport arrangements. It’s like having a travel-savvy friend who knows the best spots and hidden gems in each destination! These tours are especially great for young adults because they offer a mix of structured activities and free time, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds. You’ll have the opportunity to see major attractions and enjoy planned excursions, but there’s also room for personal exploration and spontaneous adventures. Moreover, escorted tours are a brilliant way to meet new people from different backgrounds. As a young adult, you’ll find these trips a social experience where friendships are often formed over shared experiences and exciting discoveries. Whether you’re a solo traveller looking to join a group or a bunch of friends seeking an organised adventure, escorted tours cater to a variety of interests and comfort levels. In summary, if you’re a young adult eager to explore the world, learn new things, and make lasting friendships, an escorted tour might just be the perfect option for your next adventure!

Planning a tour for young adults is an exciting adventure, and it’s wonderful that you’re considering this! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you plan the perfect tour:

• Identify interests : Start by considering the interests of the young adults. Are they into adventure sports, cultural experiences, or perhaps a mix of both? This will help in choosing the right destination and activities.
• Select the destination : Once you know what they’re interested in, choose a destination that offers these experiences. Whether it’s the beaches of Thailand, the historical sites of Europe, or the wilderness of Canada, there’s a world of choices.
• Budgeting : It’s important to set a realistic budget. This should include travel, accommodation, food, activities, and some extra for unforeseen expenses. Remember, many destinations offer youth discounts, so keep an eye out for those.
• Travel and accommodation : Look for flights and accommodation that fit your budget and dates. Hostels are a great option for young adults as they are budget-friendly and a fantastic way to meet other travellers.
• Booking tours : For the best experience, we recommend booking tours through reliable companies. You can book directly with our recommended tour companies or conveniently through our site in partnership with TourRadar. They offer a wide range of options tailored for young adults, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience.
• Packing : Pack according to the destination and activities planned. Don’t forget essentials like travel insurance, necessary medications, and copies of important documents.
• Stay flexible and safe : While it’s great to have a plan, sometimes the best experiences are unplanned. Encourage a sense of adventure, but also be mindful of safety and local laws.
• Enjoy and make memories : Finally, remind them to enjoy every moment and make lots of memories. Encourage taking lots of photos and keeping a travel journal.

Remember, travelling is not just about seeing new places, but also about personal growth and making lifelong memories.

Travelling in a relationship, especially for young adults, can be an exhilarating and enriching experience. It’s a time when you’re both perhaps stepping out of your comfort zones, exploring new places, and creating lasting memories together. One of the key aspects of travelling as a young couple is finding a balance between what each person wants to do. This often involves a bit of compromise, ensuring that both partners’ interests are taken into account. For instance, you might choose tours that offer a mix of adventure and relaxation. If one of you loves the thrill of adventure sports while the other prefers quieter, cultural experiences, look for destinations that cater to both. Many places offer a blend of activities like hiking, biking, or surfing, alongside more laid-back options such as wine tasting, historical tours, or beach days. Communication is also incredibly important. Discuss your expectations for the trip beforehand. Are you looking to have a structured itinerary with organised tours, or do you prefer a more spontaneous approach? Understanding each other’s travel style can prevent misunderstandings and ensure a smoother journey. Budgeting is another crucial aspect. As young adults, you might be working with limited funds, so it’s important to plan accordingly. Look for tours that offer great experiences without breaking the bank. This could include group tours specifically designed for young adults, which often come with the added bonus of meeting like-minded travellers from around the world. Lastly, remember to make time for romance. Amidst all the exploring and activities, simple things like watching a sunset together or having a quiet dinner can make your travel experience even more special. It’s these moments that often become the most cherished memories. In essence, travelling as a young couple is about sharing experiences, growing together, and respecting each other’s preferences. With a little planning, open communication, and the willingness to explore, it can be an incredibly rewarding adventure.

The question of why prices differ so much between companies, especially in the context of tours for young adults, is quite intriguing and can be attributed to several factors. When we look at the offerings from companies like TourRadar, which provides a plethora of options catering to young adults, we see a vivid spectrum of prices. This variation is not random; rather, it stems from a blend of elements related to the travel experience. One primary factor is the destination of choice. Some places are inherently more expensive due to their geographic location, popularity, or the cost of living and doing business there. For instance, a tour in a bustling European city might cost more than a trip to a less frequented rural area in Southeast Asia. This difference in pricing is reflective of the varying expenses that tour operators incur in different locations, such as accommodation costs, transportation, and even local taxes or fees. Another crucial aspect is the length of your trip. Naturally, a longer tour will cost more simply because it encompasses more days of accommodation, meals, and activities. However, it’s not always proportional, as some long-duration tours might offer a better value per day compared to shorter, more intensive trips. Companies price these experiences based on the cost of sustaining the tour over its duration, and this can vary greatly depending on the itinerary. The travel style also plays a significant role. Young adult tours can range from basic, budget-friendly options to luxurious, all-inclusive packages. A basic tour might include shared accommodations, public transport, and self-catered meals, which drastically reduces the cost. In contrast, a luxury tour might offer private accommodation, exclusive transport options, and meals at high-end restaurants, all of which add to the price. Each company tailors its tours to different styles and preferences, which is why you’ll see such a broad range of prices. TourRadar, with its extensive collection of young adult trips, exemplifies this diversity. They understand that young adults have varied preferences and budgets, which is why their offerings span a wide price range. This ensures that whether you’re looking for an affordable adventure or a more indulgent travel experience, there’s something suited to your budget and expectations. In conclusion, the price differences between companies for young adult tours are influenced by destination, trip length, and travel style. Each of these factors contributes to the overall cost, and companies like TourRadar cater to this variety by offering a wide range of options, ensuring that every young traveller finds a trip that matches their budget and travel dreams.

Group travel for those in their twenties offers a unique and exciting opportunity to explore the world with like-minded individuals. When we talk about tours for young adults, we’re delving into an experience that’s not just about seeing new places, but also about creating lasting memories and friendships. One of the key attractions of group travel for 20-somethings is the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds. These tours often attract individuals who share a sense of adventure and a desire to explore. It’s not just about ticking off famous landmarks from your list; it’s about experiencing these places through the eyes of others, sharing stories, and learning from each other. This camaraderie often extends beyond the trip, leading to lasting friendships. Another important aspect is the convenience and security that comes with organized tours. Young adults, especially those travelling for the first time, might find the prospect of planning a trip daunting. Group tours take care of the logistics – from accommodation to transport and even meals in some cases. This allows travellers to focus on the experience without the stress of planning. Furthermore, having a guide can enhance the experience by providing insights and access to hidden gems that you might otherwise miss. Budget is often a key consideration for travellers in their twenties. Group tours can offer cost-effective solutions, as costs are shared among the group. This can make destinations that are otherwise considered expensive more accessible. Additionally, many tour operators catering to young adults include activities in their packages that are geared towards this age group, like adventure sports, cultural experiences, and even nightlife. Lastly, group travel for young adults is a chance to step out of your comfort zone. It’s about embracing new cultures, trying new foods, and sometimes challenging yourself physically and mentally. It’s not just a holiday; it’s a personal growth experience. You come back with not just photos, but stories, new skills, and a broader perspective of the world. In conclusion, tours for young adults are not just about the places you go; they’re about the people you meet, the experiences you share, and the memories you create. They offer a blend of adventure, learning, and personal growth, making them an ideal choice for 20-somethings looking to explore the world.

Best all-inclusive resorts for teens for spring break trips, family vacations and more

If you've been postponing traveling with your teen because of, well, you know, the eye rolling, phone scrolling, shoulder shrugging and video gaming that is often all you see of them, we have good news for you. An all-inclusive vacation where you and your teen — plus the rest of the family — can fully relax, have everything prepaid so you don't have to think about money or logistics, try new activities, indulge in comfort foods and perhaps even unplug for a while is a foolproof way to reconnect with your big kid.

Recommended: The best travel credit cards

We've made planning a vacation with your teenager even easier by rounding up some of the best all-inclusive resorts for families in North America and the Caribbean, including hotels with water parks and hotels with lazy rivers . All you need to do is pack your bags and let them know by text, instant message or even in person that they're going on vacation.

Opened in 2021, Club Med Québec Charlevoix is an all-inclusive mountain resort that sits just 90 minutes away from Quebec City in Le Massif de Charlevoix. The property is Club Med's first in Canada and is currently the brand's only location in North America. Part of the company's "Exclusive Collection," this chalet-style getaway feels especially luxe, but happily, it's still very teen-friendly.

Spread across 300-plus acres, the family resort has sweeping views of the scenic St. Lawrence River and surrounding mountains. There are hiking and mountain biking in the warmer months, but one of the main selling points here is the unlimited ski-in/ski-out access on the biggest vertical drop east of the Canadian Rockies, clocking in at 2,526 feet. There's even dog sledding, plus snowboarding and snowshoeing.

The teen club at this Club Med outpost operates under the idea of "nothing mandatory and endless options." There are ski and snowboard group lessons especially geared to guests ages 11 to 17, plus teens can join the rest of the family for show times with dancing, singing and circus acts. Family tournaments and games like puzzles, treasure hunts and skill challenges are available, too, in addition to the "Family Big Snack," which includes special tasty activities (think: pancake parties, baking workshops, picnics and more) that are ideal for the whole family.

A range of family-friendly accommodations is bookable here, including connecting rooms and family rooms with two bedrooms. There are only a handful of dining venues, which is the norm for Club Med, but dining options change daily and reflect the seasons, so you can savor delectable dishes like decadent fondue in winter.

Rates at Club Med Québec Charlevoix start at $1,049 per night for double occupancy on a two-night stay .

Let's start with what will wow any teen: A 45,000-square-foot water park , which includes a 42-foot-tall SkySlide (the tallest of its kind in the Turks and Caicos Islands), plus six swimming pools and a surf simulator. There's also a teen-centric camp with activities ranging from karaoke to boat cruises, as well as an Xbox Play Lounge and even a teens-only nightclub.

The property comprises five distinct villages, each featuring architecture inspired by a different destination: Italy; France; Key West, Florida; the Caribbean; and the sea. Within these areas are 51 styles of rooms, providing plenty of options for families to sprawl out in spacious seaside villas and suites.

Additionally, there are nearly 20 restaurants to choose from — including two different pizzerias, plus poolside food trucks — so even the pickiest of eaters can find something to satiate their appetites. One surefire teen hit is Mac Daddy, which serves 10 gooey varieties of macaroni and cheese.

As a family, you can also enjoy 12 miles of pristine beaches that are perfect for swimming, lounging and trying out a bevy of included water sports. Better yet, Beaches Turks & Caicos is the only resort on the island to offer a comprehensive scuba program as part of the all-inclusive rate, so you and your teen can dive deep beneath the water's surface for a memorable aquatic adventure.

Rates at Beaches Turks & Caicos start at $1,035 per night for double occupancy on a seven-night stay.

If you're worried about your teens racking up extra charges on specialty sports and activities, Tamarind will come as a pleasant surprise. Teens can take advantage of Tamarind's crystal-clear waters to try out a plethora of water sports, from adrenaline-pumping banana boat and tube rides to water skiing and exploratory snorkeling tours to discover Barbados' famous sea turtles and marine ecosystem — all at no extra cost.

The boutique size of this Marriott-affiliated resort — there are just 104 guest rooms — means it's easy for parents and teens alike to sign up for lessons to learn how to water ski or sail without lots of other people around. The resort also offers another rarity: free excursions outside the resort.

Accommodations here are designed with families in mind. There are a number of junior and regular suites with pullout couches in separate living spaces so teens can rest easy without being right on top of their parents.

Dining is available in two main water-facing venues: The Sugar Cane Room and 246. They offer expansive breakfast buffets and theme nights focusing on everything from barbecue to Asian fare, as well as local seafood and other Bajan dishes. For a change of pace, you can also take advantage of the resort's "Stay in One, Play in Many" amenity to enjoy restaurants at nearby sister resorts without incurring extra fees.

Rates at Tamarind by Elegant Hotels start at $564 or 88,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night for double occupancy .

Costa Rica is a foolproof option for teens. Educational programs escort droves of high school students to the wild wonders of this peaceful Central American country every summer. Instead of sending your kiddo off with a group, though, make it a luxurious all-inclusive family trip so you can all enjoy the mountains, beaches and wildlife together.

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa is both eco- and family-friendly, and it sits in a prime location with easy access to both the rainforests and beaches of Costa Rica's North Pacific Riviera. There's a sprawling lagoon-style pool, plus recreational activities such as golf and tennis. Additionally, guests will find a golden expanse of sand that overlooks beautiful turquoise water.

To take advantage of the incredible natural diversity of the area, this Westin outpost has a local tour operator on call that arranges hikes to the rainforest and visits to the Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest and Palo Verde National Park. You can also arrange for a zip lining excursion, though keep in mind that all off-property activities incur an extra cost.

The property's 406 rooms have a number of configurations that will suit families with big kids. The deluxe junior and family junior suites with two double beds and separate living rooms would work especially well with teens.

Among the multiple dining options are a few taste-bud pleasers for older kids. The Spirula Trattoria serves wood-fired pizzas near the beach, while Bamboo dishes up pan-Asian offerings such as dumplings and pad thai.

Rates at The Westin Reserva Conchal start at $596 or 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night for double occupancy.

Just a 20-minute drive from Cancun International Airport (CUN), the Hyatt Ziva Cancun is a family resort oasis with 547 luxury suites, loads of activities and lots to keep teens busy either on their own or with a cohort of new friends.

Moods Lounge and Club is the resort's exclusive teens-only spot where older kids can chill out and socialize. There are both virtual reality simulators and foosball tables for head-to-head fun.

Teens can also try stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking when they're not busy taking dance or Spanish lessons. Other daily resort activities include water polo, virtual golf and life-size chess.

When choosing a room, there's a big bonus that comes with traveling with big kids: The swim-out suites with direct access to the pool are only available if your kids are at least 13 years old, so a double room with water access might be a great choice to let your teen swim to their heart's content.

Also sure to be one of your teen's favorite experiences is Pasteles, a Willy Wonka-style candy store with ice cream, a chocolate fountain, cookies, candy and much more. Since the resort is all-inclusive, treats at this dessert parlor are complimentary. You'll find 16 other food and drink venues with everything from tacos to burgers to teppanyaki, too, should you wish to balance out all the sweet treats.

Rates at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun start at $600 or 21,000 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy .

Nestled on the shore of Montego Bay, Jamaica, about a 35-minute drive from Sangster International Airport (MBJ), Royalton White Sands Montego Bay is an all-inclusive resort that caters to families with teenagers. Age-appropriate amenities include a teens club stocked with video games and billiards and pingpong tables, as well as an extensive water park with a wave pool and a range of thrilling slides.

All kinds of water-based pursuits are available for the entire family, too. You can try nonmotorized water sports such as snorkeling and kayaking when you're not taking an introductory scuba diving lesson so you can all learn a new skill together. There's also a lazy river at the adjacent Royalton Blue Waters Resort, should you prefer to have a more leisurely day in the sun.

When your stomachs start to grumble, sit for a meal at one of 11 dining venues. Teen-friendly options range from a teppanyaki spot to a Tex-Mex restaurant to an international buffet.

As for lodging, each family suite includes a king bed and bunk beds, plus a separate living room with a pullout couch. There are two-bedroom suites as well, so you can each have your own personal space without being too far away from one another.

Rates at Royalton White Sands Montego Bay start at $480 or 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night for double occupancy.

Hilton's first all-inclusive offering in Tulum, Mexico, is part of the expansive leisure campus that includes the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya .

Newly opened in 2022, the massive Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort includes 735 rooms located throughout three-story, villa-style buildings. One perk of the rooms is that all accommodations with two beds have queen-size beds instead of two doubles, so teens have plenty of room to stretch out. Plus, accommodations have separate sitting areas for some extra elbow room.

There's an entire zone devoted to families at the property, including the aptly named Teens Club, which houses a movie theater, video game consoles and air hockey and billiards tables. The space is open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Teens will also love the variety of pools available on-site, though some are reserved exclusively for adults or little kids.

Additionally, there are 13 all-inclusive dining experiences. The steak and seafood restaurants and the eateries specializing in Italian, Mexican and Asian cuisine are among the top choices.

Rates at the Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort start at $549 or 90,000 Hilton Honors points per night for double occupancy.

Situated on 85 coconut palm-fringed acres along St. Lucia's south coast, Coconut Bay Beach & Spa Resort is massive, offering 250 rooms, nine restaurants, seven bars, five pools, a full-service spa, the island's largest water park and the only paintball facility in St. Lucia, the latter of which is a particularly big hit with teens but does incur an additional fee.

Families have their own wing of Coconut Bay called Splash, which has colorful rooms designed and decorated with parents and children in mind. Each of these accommodations features one king-size bed and two trundle beds, or two queen-size beds and a pullout couch so every member of the family can sleep comfortably every night. Because this section of the property faces the ocean and overlooks the water park, families will enjoy easy access to the resort's lazy river, waterslides, large pool and beach.

There are six dress-up dining spaces, including a steakhouse and an Asian venue, though your teen will likely gravitate toward the three casual venues. Two are traditional restaurants that serve pizza and jerk barbecue, while the third is a buffet venue offering all kinds of comfort classics, such as sandwiches and pasta.

Rates at Coconut Bay Beach & Spa Resort start at $1,244 per night for double occupancy.

The all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa has a number of highlights that make it appealing to those in middle and high school. There are a small water park with several slides, seven eateries (including a pizzeria and a tavern that hosts karaoke nights) and an array of activities that the whole family can try out together on land and in the water.

For teens who love music, the Teen Zone has a big draw: DJ decks to create beats and karaoke to belt out tunes. There are plugged-in gaming options on offer as well in addition to lots of daily social programming that includes movie nights and barbecue parties on the beach.

The resort's sugary white stretch of sand is a major perk of staying here. When you and the big kids aren't snorkeling or swimming, be sure to look up at the sky. The resort is located less than a mile from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), giving planespotters and budding AvGeeks front-row seats to daily takeoffs and landings.

After getting your fill of planes or Caribbean sun, retreat to one of the property's 420 accommodations. The resort offers a number of connecting rooms, though the standout options are the Skyloft Suites, which give teens their own floor of a duplex.

Rates at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa start at $332 per night for double occupancy.

Found on a 2,000-foot stretch of sand along the Caribbean, Club Med Punta Cana caters to families with unlimited land and water sports, plus a full array of age-appropriate kids and teens clubs.

The new "Amazing Family" program features an itinerary of weekly activities for families to enjoy together, including treasure hunts and pickleball, as well as cooking (and eating, always a favorite teen pastime) as part of Club Med's "Family Big Snack" offering. But what stands out at this Club Med outpost is the high-flying circus school. Teens (and parents, too) can get hands-on instruction in 25 acrobatic and artistic activities, perfect for showing off aerial stunts on TikTok.

Teens craving some time away from their parents can head to Passworld, a teens club that hosts activities like group lessons in archery, sailing and tennis. They can also spend a leisurely day at the pool or beach after challenging new friends to a friendly game of basketball or beach volleyball.

Family Deluxe rooms are the ones to book here, as they give your teen their own sleeping space separated from the main room by a heavy curtain. An additional 90 two-bedroom family accommodations equipped with balconies and upgraded contemporary furniture will also open later in 2023.

Rates at Club Med Punta Cana start at $1,190 per night for double occupancy.

Even if your teen has never come within 10 feet of a horse before, they will still love Vista Verde Guest Ranch. In fact, this luxury dude ranch is the perfect spot for every member of the family to bond over learning a new skill.

Log cabins with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms are available so you can fit the whole brood in one spot without having to share a bathroom with your teenager. They also have fireplaces and hot tubs for cozy lounging after an active day outdoors.

While horseback riding is the main thing to do here, you'll find plenty of other seasonal activities as well. You and your teen can try archery, fly-fishing, mountain biking and paddleboarding during the warmer months. There are also winter adventures like downhill skiing, snow tubing, sleigh rides and snowshoeing. Don't miss the overnight camping experience for teens, which gives them the chance to explore and bond away from their parents.

When you're ready to reconnect over a meal, partake in a campfire cookout at lunch or savor a gourmet plated meal at dinner. Evening options include homemade gnocchi with short rib ragu and a molten chocolate cake for dessert. Teens are welcome to join the younger kids for the "Dine and Dash" dinner, which offers quicker-to-prepare options so kids don't have to sit for a lengthy meal.

Rates at Vista Verde Guest Ranch start at $585 per night for double occupancy on a seven-night stay. Gratuities are included.

9 Best Family Vacations With Young Adults

Jul 18, 2019

See recent posts by Jeff Bogle

We romanticize traveling with our children when they are young and impressionable, often glossing over the more, shall we say, frustrating aspects of that worthy parenting pursuit.

While it can be remarkable to show our wee ones the world, taking a vacation with young adults is where the long lasting memories are made.

These are the best family vacations to take with young adults while they’re in the sweet spot of their growing independence, still curious mind, expanding worldview, and as they are building the foundation of the full-fledged adults they will soon become.

1. Memphis, TN

Nashville gets all the glory, but don’t sleep on Memphis as a destination for a family vacation with young adults. Memphis, Tennessee , is home to the best style of BBQ on the planet and whether you prefer dry rub at Rendezvous, wet at Corky’s or the All-You-Can-Eat-Ribs special on Monday nights at Germantown Commissary in the ‘burbs, your taste in ribs and pulled pork will be forever heightened and nothing back home will ever satisfy in the same way! After you wet-wipe the BBQ sauce away, head out for some live music on Beale Street with your older kids to let them hear the roots of rock and roll. Finally, tour the stunning National Civil Rights Museum located inside the Lorraine Motel; this is one of the most emotional experiences in the whole of America and something every single citizen should do at least once, young adults especially.

When it opens in the fall of 2019, Central Station Hotel will become the premier accommodation choice in Memphis. The renowned century-old transportation hub on Main Street is being transformed into a luxury hotel that will have an expansive vinyl record collection in their Listening Lounge. Sounds like the ideal spot for you and your cool kid(s) to crash during a vacation in the birthplace of rock and roll!

Recommended Hotel: The Peabody Memphis

2. San Juan, PR 

I recently took my youngest young adult to Puerto Rico for a dad and daughter photography trip. I knew of Old San Juan’s colorful buildings, delicious local cuisine, sea views and nearby El Yunque Rainforest, and knew she’d love all of it. What I didn’t know about was the adorable feral cat population that quickly would fill up her camera’s memory card and the manic joy of pigeon park, a section of the old city swarming with pigeons that will climb all over anyone ‘wise’ enough to buy and open a pack of feed. This is as a voluntary Hitchcockian situation that will delight your kid and probably freak you out.

Sanitize your hands and arms (and maybe your face, too), then move on to the sandy beaches near Old San Juan, the vibrant neighborhood of La Perla to wander on the edgy fringe of the safe old city, or the rainforest. El Yunque is one reason you’d want to rent a car for a day (the Hertz location located inside the Old San Juan Sheraton makes it easy). Spend that day hiking to a serene watering hole with a rope swing and lots of rocks to climb out into the river. At night, book a mind-blowing bioluminescent bay kayaking tour. There are only five spots on planet Earth to have this naturally illuminating experience and three of them are in Puerto Rico!

Recommended Hotel: Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel

3. Montreal, Quebec 

A trip across the pond is likely not in the budget for the vast majority of families, but a journey up north to Quebec can scratch your young adults’ European itch without breaking the bank. Brush up on your bonjour, s’il vous plaît, Merci Beaucoup and other français niceties with a weekend trip to the French-speaking province of Canada! Montreal is a thriving, cosmopolitan city that embraces its charming old town origin story and welcomes francophiles from the States with open arms.

Spend quality time up on Mount Royal, the large hill giving the city its name by buying a couple of fresh baguettes avec fromage et jambon for a memorable picnic with a view. If the weather turns sour, head inside to the Redpath Museum at McGill University. This stellar natural history collection is housed in a glorious building dating back to the 1880’s. Go further back in time in Old Montreal (or Vieux Montreal, in French). This original part of town features preserved buildings from the 17th century, bringing architecture nerds (hand raised!) much joy.

Recommended Hotel: Le Square Phillips Hotel & Suites

4. Voluntourism Vacations

Going away with your young adult with the sole intention of making a difference in communities and/or ecosystems that desperately need help is a fantastic family vacation idea that will fill your heart and soul with joy instead of filling your bag with souvenirs. That seems like more than a fair trade.

Habitat for Humanity runs regularly trips all around the world, with many *nearby* in the Caribbean and Latin America, where you and your kids ages 16 and older will help to build homes for local people in need of shelter. While these volunteer trips aren’t cheap (in the neighborhood of $1,900 per person for a 9 or 10 day Habitat trip, inclusive of all lodging and meals but exclusive of airfare), a portion of the cost is tax deductible.

There are also environmental tourism trips to work with animals, like the adorable sloth rescue and conservation experiences in Costa Rica , available for young adults age 18 and up, along with their grown-ups.

5. Crystal River, FL

You simply cannot run with lions in Africa or chew bamboo alongside pandas in China. But in Florida, there’s a truly immersive, safe, and sensational large mammal encounter available every day of the year.

November to March is peak manatee season, but the docile giants are in the cool river waters on the Gulf coast of Florida year-round. Swimming with these majestic sea cows is pure magic and entirely safe because while massive, manatees are friendly creatures thanks to having no predators. As a result, manatees are not scared of anything or anyone, making it possible to float alongside them as they swim, chew lettuce, and basically live happily ever after in the chilly waters in and around The Plantation at Crystal River .

Because it’s surprising affordable (starting at $65 per person including wet suit and pleasant boat ride) to get in the water with playfully curious manatees during a three-hour tour, this is an out-of-this-world experience for young adults to share with their grown-ups. You may be like me and swat down tourist photo or video packages as a rule, but this is one you’ll want to pay for because there’s nothing quite like watching and rewatching yourself snorkel next to 1,000-pound manatees! It almost doesn’t feel like real life to be with them in the water so having those memories made permanent is a must.

Recommended Hotel: Plantation on Crystal River 

6. Denver, CO

If your young adults love the great outdoors, or if you want to book the perfect trip that will spark such a love in them, it’s hard to beat the idea of spending a few glorious days in the crisp, cool altitude of Denver, Colorado .

Let’s start at night, under the stars, in nature, with some live music. Sit or dance side by side during a concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, located just 10 miles west of Denver. This is without a doubt the finest concert venue in the world and all of the best big-name bands and artists play here while on tour. Spending an evening at Red Rocks with your older kids should be a bucket list travel goal for every music loving parent. The bonus is that they’ll think you’re the coolest for bringing them there.

That’s at least one night sorted during your time high in the Rockies! During the days, take a long hike in Rocky Mountain National Park (1.5 hours from Denver), where over 300 miles of trails straddle the subalpine and alpine worlds. After a day in hiking boots, get off your tired feet in Golden, Colorado , and give your thighs or arms a workout instead with a free bike rental or a kayak and tube down Clear Creek. For thrill seekers, visit Lakeside and Elitch Gardens, two fun places representing two sides of the a musement park coin. The latter is a modern gem with all the tricks and flips you expect from a 21st-century amusement park; the former is a curious relic from yesteryear built in 1908 with rides that seem like they’re about as old (the iconic Cyclone is a wooden coaster from 1940).

Recommended Hotel: Origin Red Rocks

7. Baseball-Themed Road Trip

A baseball road trip is a fantastic way to spend time together, share bad-for-you road trip snacks you’d never consider buying at home, bond with your young adult(s), and make memories to cherish long after they flee the coop. Even better than lining up a few baseball games is booking hotel rooms with marvelous views of the ballparks, allowing you and your family to escape the heat and enjoy America’s pastime in air-conditioned luxury!

Start in Baltimore at the Hilton Inner Harbor for an Orioles game in one of ten hospitality suites overlooking the field. The Orioles may not be any good these days, but when the Yankees, Red Sox and Mike Trout’s Angels come to town, you and your kids can watch some top-notch stars whack the ball all over that picturesque park. Just down I-95, 30 minutes or so, is Nationals Park in the D.C. Navy Yard. This is a beautiful new ballpark to see National League action and the Hampton Inn & Suites onsite has ballpark-view guestrooms offering an exclusive vantage point to watch the games in comfort.

Speaking of heat, the Braves have an exciting young team but boy-o-boy does it get toasty down there in Atlanta! After a pre-game dinner at one of the fine restaurants in the incredible new ballpark complex, stay at the Omni Hotel at the Battery for a deluxe baseball experience watching the game with the A/C blasting in your room! Your young adults will love this unique approach to a family baseball adventure.

8. Ozarks, MO 

Fun Mountain at Big Cedar Lodge is an indoor wonderland in the Ozarks of Missouri. There’s underwater-themed ocean bowling; a golf simulator to share your love of the game; a 4-story ropes course to safely overcome your fear of heights; a high-tech climbing wall; a cool wilderness fort laser tag arena; a quarter-mile go kart track designed by a NASCAR racing champion and crew chief; and the Flip Zone, a bumper car ride that rotates 360-degrees horizontally and vertically, meaning you may be on your head when your young adults bump into you while laughing hysterically. Even better, a stay at Big Cedar Lodge is the perfect opportunity to watch the classic John Candy movie Uncle Buck with your older kid because the onsite restaurant and soda fountain shop inside Fun Mountain is called—wait for it—Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl & Grill!

For a cool day trip during your family vacation stay in the Ozarks, head to nearby Springfield to take in the Wonders of Wildlife, a new attraction and aquarium covering more than 350,000 square feet and more than 1.5 miles of trails to explore animal habitats and the natural world.

Recommended Hotel: Big Cedar Lodge

9. Washington, D.C.

There’s a lot to see and do in D.C., but we love that The Jefferson hotel is giving younger guests the keys to the kingdom. Through its new “Kids Who Made American History” walking guide, the hotel is inviting young adults to lead a day of sightseeing for their family. Crafted by a historian and former Georgetown professor, some of the walking tour’s road-less-traveled stops include touch points on “the smallest Freedom Fighter” Sheyann Webb, the location of transgender student Gavin Grimm’s Supreme Court trial on his school’s restroom use, and the U.S. Capitol statue of Lewis and Clark’s young expedition leader, Sacagawea.

If you’re feeling playful (or if your young adult is in an ironic mode), borrow the hotel’s mascot, BobbleJeffDC, for cheesy photo-ops at each of these sites. Once the day of hitting the pavement for this remarkable tour of the District is over, The Jefferson has a special set of offerings including mocktails and elevated kid favorites like truffle mac n’ cheese and bison sliders at the hotel lounge. Relax with a book from the exclusive curated shelf of reading material by the likes of Eva Chen and Barack Obama in the Book Room, and at dinner in Plume, check out the kids’ beverage cart rolled tableside for juice pairings (a child-friendly version of the wine paired Tasting Menu) with the Michelin-starred menu. Finally, if you really did love the walk and the history learned, one-on-one lessons are available with the hotel’s resident historian.

Anyone can visit D.C. but this experience will give your older kids an unparalleled look at a wealth of American history that goes above and beyond what’s on display at the fantastic Smithsonian museums.

Recommended Hotel: The Jefferson

WHY SOLO TRAVEL?

Traveling alone leads to improved confidence, independence, and self-discovery. Although Under30Experiences hooks you up with a detailed itinerary, local guide, and a fantastic group of travelers, taking the first step to leave the country alone is a HUGE accomplishment! When you travel alone you can expect to learn a lot about yourself. You'll be surprised to find how easy it is to open up and start conversations with others. Solo travel also gives you the unique opportunity to reinvent yourself. Gone are all the preconceived notions about you from your peers back home... traveling abroad gives you a fresh start.

Having the courage to step outside your comfort zone, face your fears, and challenge yourself can help you learn more about yourself and the world. However, it is common for some women to feel nervous or intimidated about traveling solo. ‍ We’re here to help! Under30Experiences gives you the tools to be confident, smart, and informed while traveling abroad alone for the first time. Recent Female Solo Travel Stats: A recent travel industry study found that 86 percent of women state that they are not afraid to travel regardless of what is going on in the world today; 73 percent of women feel that travel has made them stronger; and 69 percent of women draw inspiration from travel. How many women are on your trips? On average about 75% of our travelers are women. The majority of those are traveling solo. Will my roommate be the same gender? Yes! Same gender roommates are guaranteed unless you request to room with a friend or significant other.

Don’t let your fears or thoughts of loneliness keep you from traveling the world! Under30Experiences is the perfect option for your first international solo trip, here’s why... Safety: ‍ Does the thought of being alone abroad make you nervous about personal safety? ‍ Safety is our number one priority, and we have years of experience leading groups all over the globe. In fact, many of the countries we visit consistently top the top destinations for solo travelers. Plus, all our Trip Leaders are First Aid & CPR certified, and have been routinely trained in emergency preparedness. We try to form a "team" environment among our groups where we all look out for one another... as they say, there is strength in numbers. And, you'll be happy to know we have a zero-tolerance rule for bullying, harassment, and hate speech. Any violators of these rules will be asked to leave our trip. ‍ Logistics: ‍ Don't worry about planning transportation & accommodations. We've got you covered. ‍ We take the hard work out of traveling abroad. U30X is designed for busy young adults who want to make the most out of their vacation days.

Our Trip Leaders and Regional Managers are experienced in the local areas where we travel, have local connections, emergency contacts, and vet our activities for quality and safety carefully. ‍ Like-Minded Travelers: ‍ Solo travel doesn't have to mean being alone. ‍ It’s normal for the idea of traveling alone to bring up worries of loneliness. By traveling with Under30Experiences you are guaranteed to meet a group of up to eighteen travelers, both male & female. The majority of our travelers come alone and are eager to meet other young adults who share a passion for travel and an itch for adventure. Being "like-minded" means having similar values and a love for travel... but we hope you'll find our community full of people with different thoughts, ideas, and backgrounds who bring their own unique experiences to our groups. ‍ Peace of Mind: ‍ Sometimes the hardest part about traveling solo is ensuring your loved ones that you are going to be safe. Letting them know that you’ll be in good hands will help them sleep at night--and you may even find a new wave of support!

How likely are you to talk to a group of strangers while you're traveling with friends or family? Probably not so likely. Traveling with Under30Experiences is perfect for solo travelers because you meet new people right from the start. You don't need to worry about coming alone because a vibrant group of travelers is waiting for you at the airport when you arrive (most of whom are also traveling solo). ‍ After your trip, you become part of our travel community!

Out of Your Comfort Zone

The art of backpacking & adventures to get out of your comfort zone – tips and advice, 5 best group tour companies for young solo single travelers.

Last Updated on February 19, 2024 by Talita

Traveling alone is wonderful, but it can also be intimidating. Especially if your destination has a language or a culture completely different from your own.

And sometimes, making friends while traveling can be difficult and many worry about getting lonely. So, a good option for anyone who wants to begin adventuring around the world on their own is to use a tour excursion company that specializes in trips for young adults.

Of course, traveling is always about visiting a place and seeing new things, but one of the highlights is often meeting new people along the way. This is what is called social traveling .

5 Best Tour Companies for Young Solo/Single Travelers

Contiki is the most well-known tour company for young travelers worldwide. It’s been around since 1962, so its name carries quite a lot of weight.

But don’t worry if this sounds a bit intense for you…the options below are a bit more “calm.”

So, as you can imagine,  most of Contiki’s excursions involve lots of partying and going out with “pub crawl” kind of nights. And since there’s plenty of cool stories online of young travelers who traveled and would travel again with Contiki, it must be one of the best companies available if this is the type of travel you’re looking for.

Contiki has more than 328 distinct tours for many destinations across the 6 continents. According to their website, 55% of travelers who chose Contiki are single and are traveling alone, but the trips can also accommodate groups of friends and couples.

One thing to keep in mind is that the groups are usually quite big, around 30 people, and the main form of travel is the company’s coach bus.

Finally, their tours have a bit of everything: physical activities , exploration of local culture and food, and visits to ethical and sustainable organizations and projects in your destination. In other words, you are capable of a journey full of different attractions, sounds, and experiences!

Topdeck is a company that offers“epic trips and tours for young adventurers aged 18-39.”With 40 years of experience, alongside Contiki, Topdeck is one of the most well-known companies in terms of group travel for young solo/single travelers.

Their trips are divided into several categories:

• Hotel tours: designed for couples or singles who want to travel a bit more comfortably through Europe, the U.S., Canada, or Asia. All hotels have, at least, 3 stars and the excursions give you a lot of free time to relax or explore on your own.
• Explorer trips: these are shorter trips, between 6 days and 3 weeks, with just one country for those who want to explore local culture more deeply. The groups are small and accommodation is in shared or private hotel rooms.
• Hostel plus trip:  low-cost tours with accommodation in hostels , cabins, or vans and with itineraries with multiple destinations/countries.
• Camping trips: these trips are the cheapest way to travel through Europe with Topdeck. The accommodation is camping with private chefs cooking meals daily. The bunks are for two people and include mattresses.
• Sailing trips: these trips are an awesome option for anyone who dreams of sailing the world but doesn’t have an idea of where to start. Accommodation is within a sailboat in double, triple, or quadruple rooms with meals included.
• Festivals and events: these tours are specifically for events like Oktoberfest or the Sziget festival (in Hungary) and other festivals in the United States, Canada, and Europe .
• Ski trips: these trips are perfect for anyone who loves snow and skiing . With destinations in Canada, New Zealand, Bulgaria, and Japan . Accommodation is in private or shared hotel rooms.
• Gap year: this trip is made for young travelers 17-18 who want to travel in Europe after graduating high school. It’s a great idea for anyone who wants to travel on their own without freaking their parents out. Accommodation is in hostels and the destinations usually include 8-10 countries.

Created in 1990, G Adventures was born with the idea of offering authentic adventures responsibly and sustainably. Their excursions have reasonable prices and cover all the continents, including Antarctica!

The groups are small and the itineraries are designed so you have time to explore on your own. The trips are themed and have different options for all ages, including a category for young travelers aged 18-39.

The trips in this category are faster-paced and designed for young travelers. In other words, you explore during the day and stay up at night. Their motto for these excursions is “live fast now.” So, their trips are usually longer than the others and offer more activities.

Plus, this category of travel groups is a bit more affordable with accommodation in hostels and a few meals included to guarantee a cheaper price. You can read more about these trips here . 

Or, just click in the link above, go to G Adventures main page, click “Travel Styles” and select “18-to-Thirtysomethings!” 

It’s worth remembering that these trips follow the basic principles of G Adventures: small groups and free time. Plus, the trips are done in a responsible and sustainable way, prioritizing small businesses and the welfare of animals, children, and indigenous communities.

And finally, like Intrepid, G Adventures is a partner of Planeterra, an NGO dedicated to ensuring that communities touched by tourism benefit from it, rather than be exploited by it. The organization helps to empower local populations, preserve their cultures, and create support systems by managing 50 organizations across the 7 continents with the aim of benefiting women, at-risk youth, and indigenous and rural communities. You can read more about Planeterra here .

Intrepid is considered by many to be one of the best options for those who want to travel as part of an excursion with small, adventure-focused groups .

All trips offered by Intrepid are sustainable, and because of this Intrepid is known and respected as the global leader in sustainable travel.

The company has zeroed its carbon footprint and supports the Intrepid Foundation, a foundation that finances the planting of trees worldwide creates jobs and local education, and helps the world achieve 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. You can read more about the foundation at https://www.theintrepidfoundation.org/.

Intrepid has many types of trips for all budgets and personalities. That said, the company prides itself in organizing small groups of up to 10 people. This is because Intrepid believes that this is the maximum number of people that still allows a true connection with locals without you simply feeling like just a face in the group. The trips are also always designed to give you some time to explore on your own.

The trips made for young travelers aged 18-29 (called their “18 to 29s” trips) are designed specifically for the new generation of socially-conscious explorers. In other words, they were created for travelers who want to discover new places and cultures, make new friends , and also make a difference in the world.

There are many destinations and the cost of the trips are relatively low given that they are designed for young travelers. You can see all of Intrepid’s tour options here .

Unlike the other companies mentioned above, Trek American only offers excursions for North and Central America. And in general their tours are quite small, just 13 people, with the exception of their “plus” tours of up to 30 people.

Trek America is also quite well-known and has been running since 1972. Like Contiki, the tours are exclusively for young travelers aged 18-38 and include itineraries of 3 days to 3 months.

The reputation of Trek America is that they offer experiences which change your life with a balance between visiting big cities, national parks, and other activities that explore the most incredible places in North and Central America.

And, unlike Contiki, Trek America trips don’t include the “pub crawl” culture. So if you are a young traveler who is more interested in exploring and making new experiences instead of partying, Trek America might be good for you.

They have 3 types of tours:

• Original tours: small group tours with the aim of having an authentic “ road trip ,” with cheap accommodation that includes hostels, camping, and budget hotels. The groups have 10-13 people, which gives you a bit more flexibility in the itinerary.
• Plus tours: offered just to explore North America, these tours offer more comfort, primarily when it comes to accommodation, and you’ll stay in hotels, eco resorts, and apartments. Plus, breakfast is included as is more activities than the original tours. The only “con” is that the groups are usually bigger (up to 30 people).
• BOLT tours: offered exclusively for Central America with a combination of private transportation and local transportation. The groups are 12-18 people with accommodation in hotels and with a bit more flexibility, meaning the most famous tourist spots will be included, but you’ll still have lots of free time to explore on your own.

Comparison table of the best group tour companies for young solo/single travelers:

Bonus: world tours for women only.

Solo Female Travelers Tours is a company that serves women travelers from all over the world. It is focused on facilitating women’s adventures around the world with all the confidence, safety, and comfort needed by its clients.

Some of the destinations served by SFT Tours are Mongolia , Antarctica, Sudan, Tanzania, Tuscany, and Iceland. There are tours for all tastes, from luxury tours in Tuscany to extreme adventures like climbing Kilimanjaro (with a female guide!).

In addition to empowering diverse women to embark on journeys around the world, all trips taken by Solo Female Travelers Tours are supported by women-owned businesses and partnered with entrepreneurs whose mission is to empower female figures.

In conclusion…

Traveling is always an enriching experience. And for anyone who just likes to travel solo, group tours can be a fun and safe opportunity to explore a new country.

And the truth is, by traveling in a group with a guide, you’ll have an incredible experience and return filled with stories, friends, and memories. What matters is that you get out and explore the world, whether solo or with a group, because the world is big and waiting for you!

Japan was so fun! A looooooot of free time so do you researches about what to do and visit in every city. Would have love more ''organised'' activities (like a dinner every night with the group,...). Compared to other G Adventures tour I did in the past, I felt that this group was less stick together since there was only a few group activities.

This tour was awesome. 10/10 - highly recommend! It was a great deal for an amazing experience. This was my first time using Intro Travel, though I have used other tour companies before. I didn’t know what to expect, but this trip exceeded my expectations. There was a good mix of activities at a very reasonable pace. Our tour guide (Meg) was highly personable and very knowledgeable/willing to help.

It is a very intense tour, but that allows you to see so much of Japan and i loved that we did not only get to see the big cities. There are also so many activities and stays that i would have never done or found myself and it all together made it an amazing experience

Hidden Tokyo Experience

great trip! such nice tour guides and an amazing group. the time spent with my tour group and the memories we made are unforgettable ♡

Highlights of Japan

I love the accommodations that was selected for us. I didn't realize how much walking we were going to be doing and wish we were more informed on that. I felt communication would have been better. In reality, i did not even know if we were going to find somebody from the tour group at the first hotel cause of lack of communication. If i had to rate communication from TourRadar as a company... it would be BAD. Our tour guide was well versed in taking us from point A to point B but i was hoping that our tour guide was more talkative and knowledgeable in the places he took us to such as history of the town, cultures, etc.

Japan Essentials - One Life Adventures 9 Day

This was my first ever overseas trip and I think it was a fantastic experience!! The itinerary was very well balanced. We had a good mix of seeing the more traditional side of Japan, and our excellent guide Dale knew all the right places to take us in the city areas to get the full Tokyo inner city experiences too. We had a flexible amount of free time to be able to explore on our own as well. I would highly recommend adding some of the additional activities, especially the go-karting through the streets of Tokyo, and the boat ride down Katsura river - they were some of the best experiences I had for sure.
