Not only was the fantastic article in the Sydney Morning Herald, it was also in The Age on the same day.

There are a large number of people who do not stop travelling when they have kids. In fact, they seem to want to travel more as their kids learn, experience new things and gain an appreciation of the world around them. We think this is brilliant, so much so, we've created a brand new range of family oriented tours designed to enable kids to join in with not only the parents, but also with other kids too.

We've devised an East Coast walk and cycle tour specifically for families. The tour focuses on fun activities for the kids which keeps them entertained and for the adults to participate in and get a bit of exercise at the same time. We know parents appreciate our experience with past tours, and our guides know exactly how to handle the group. With family friendly pricing our itineraries should suit just about everyone providing a balanced tour for the entire family!

Family Friendly aspects:
This a specially developed tour route designed with families in mind. We've included activities just for kids from game-playing, diary writing and art competitions. Each day is designed to entertain the family with a mixture of fabulous scenery, interesting activities and flexibility to suit everybody. Adults can take the extended route whilst the kids are well looked after by our capable guides.

We've taken the whole family into consideration with our catering and made sure the meals we provide suit a variety of appetites and tastes. Lunches and breakfasts are healthy, nutritious and freshly made with lots of options. For dinners we can recommend family friendly places with menus to match. The accommodation places we stay at are all family-friendly places with access to nearby play grounds and other suitable facilities. The budget prices are based on a family of four sharing a bunk room in a hostel with shared facilities. The standard prices are based on a family of four sharing a cottage, cabin or hotel room with a private bathroom. And the deluxe prices are for those that want that 4-5 star luxury along the way.

Our guides are passionate and patient; they will support your need for a well deserved rest whilst acting as role models for the kids. Leave the day-to-day logistics of the trip in the hands of the guides and they'll provide guidance and support for all aspects of your trip to make it memorable and meaningful for the whole family.

Create your own tour
You may have your own ideas as to what makes the ideal tour for your family. If so, that's fine too, we can cater for you based on your own requirements and degree of difficulty. Choose your own accommodation standard, give us a budget and let us know exactly what inclusions you require - we can prepare pretty much anything to meet your needs.If you're not quite sure exactly what you are looking for, that's ok too, email or call us and we'll put some ideas together for you to take a look at it.

Prices for these tours will be on application. Please advise what level of accommodation you are looking for; whether you would prefer the children to share the adult's room or have their own; whether you would like meals included; how many km's you think you can cope with (if unsure how many hours a day you think); whether you will be bringing your own bikes or would like to hire ours; whether you would like a guide with you or simply luggage transfers. Plus any sights or attractions that must be included in the itinerary over the appropriate number of days you request.

Sorry I know it's a lot of things to answer, but we can't provide a detailed itinerary and quote without knowing them.
