USA & Canada family holidays

Home to supersized scenery and cities that never sleep, North America is unbeatable when it comes to family holidays. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or a mix of both, our USA and Canada family holidays have something for toddlers and teenagers alike. Kayak on perfectly mirrored lakes in Canada, hike between red rock canyons in Utah, drive the Pacific Coastal Highway in California and experience the warm hospitality of the Deep South. 

Our USA and Canada family holidays are based on trips that we’ve made with our own families, so we’ll give you first-hand advice and expert tips. Drive through Arizona to the Grand Canyon, experience life on a traditional cattle ranch, hit the beaches of Hawaii, or take the train across the Canadian wilderness. Along the way, explore buzzing cities, visit world-class theme parks, feast on fried chicken, and feel the freedom of the open road. Simply tell us your hopes for the holiday, and we’ll build you the family trip of a lifetime.
