Things to do

Is your family pressed for time and you want to be sure you are getting the most out of your limited hours away? Or do you simply not want to pack too much into your trip because you want your getaway to be as relaxing as it is exciting? Narrowing down the list of things to do on your family holiday can be a little overwhelming. When visiting the bustling city of London, how do you decide between seeing the iconic Big Ben or taking a canal boat ride from Little Venice to Camden? If you are enjoying a break in Cairns, should you spend more than one day snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef? Are you embarking on an adventure to Australia's Red Centre and not sure whether to take a camel ride around Uluru or to book a helicopter flight instead... or both? The key is to stress less about missing out on seeing everything and do your research to find what activities and attractions are best suited to your family's interests. And remember, your holiday is just as much about spending quality time with one another as it is about ticking things off your bucket list.
