FLIPPER FUN Kids might remember the 1990s film and parents the 1960s TV series, but
both will adore the chance to find their own Flipper as they swim with wild dolphins in the Azores, the archipelago of volcanic islands set out in the Atlantic 850 miles west of Portugal, famed for its marine life. The Family Adventure Company has a new itinerary in the destination, which, in addition to a swim with wild dolphins, features activities that make the most of the islands’
geological vitality. These include canoeing at the bottom of a volcanic crater, visiting a lava
tunnel and enjoying a
lunch cooked solely with geothermal steam. The
minimum age for passengers on this trip is five. Book it: The Family Adventure Company’s eight-day Azores Family Holiday starts at £1,704 for adults and £1,534 for children, including flights, accommodation, most meals, transport, activities and guiding.

Geisha if they take InsideJapan’s Hands On Japan tour. It’s packed full of quintessentially Japanese experiences, from a tea ceremony with a trainee geisha in Kyoto to stadium tickets for a sumo wrestling tournament in Tokyo. Customers will have a traditional Taiko drumming lesson and learn how to make soba noodles, ride the Shinkansen bullet train, and stay in both a capsule hotel and in a typical ryokan inn in the mountains, where they’ll dress in kimono-like yukata robes and sleep on tatami mats on the floor. This isn’t a family-only itinerary, but with so many activities included, it is particularly popular with those travelling with kids. The minimum age is six, and the maximum group size is 14 people. Book it: InsideJapan’s 13-night Hands On Japan tour starts at £12,893 for a family of four travelling in
