Some prefer going on a solo trip, while others derive excitement from sharing their travel experience with the people they love. If you fall into the latter group, you might enjoy going on a journey with friends and family members. Not only does a group trip potentially entitle you to a group discount, but there’s always a feeling of safety and security knowing your loved ones are close by and enjoying the same things as you.
You may want to consider looking for group travel ideas that everyone enjoys. There’s never a dearth of activities and destinations that are perfect for groups of whatever size. At some point, you might find it challenging to choose the right experience. If that’s the case, the guide below should help you make the right decisions as you arrange for a group vacation anytime this year or the next:
1. Go for a Caribbean getaway
In case you want to go somewhere warm during the winter, you should spend the season with friends and family at premier tropical destinations in the south. Head over to the Caribbean region where you will find plenty of opportunities to live a tropical life for a week.
Places like Jamaica and the Bahamas are ideal for group travelers with diverse tastes. There’s always something special in store for friends who prefer immersing in the local culture and family members who want to try snorkeling and scuba diving for the first time. Whichever the case, the Caribbean offers the right mix of activities that every member of the group will cherish fondly.
2. Be one with nature
Adventures in nature are also great for large groups, considering that it’s safer to hike with people you know who could help you whenever you get into trouble during the trek. What’s more, going on a nature excursion with others is a great way to develop rapport as everyone gets to work together in making the most of the experience.
Consider looking for a natural preserve with regulated camping grounds that will challenge the adventurer in each member. While you’re at it, consider trying out wholesome activities together, such as fishing for freshwater fish or going on a rafting trip which lets you test the limits of your teamwork.
3. Explore archaeological wonders
If you want the trip to be more educational without watering down the fun factor for everyone, consider looking for locations where you can explore historical landmarks that look more amazing up close.
Historical cities like Athens and Rome offer plenty of archaeological sites worth visiting with discounts to groups of more than ten members. For a more challenging experience, consider taking your friends or family members to the Yucatan peninsula or Machu Picchu where you can book guided tours and with fewer crowds to deal with.
4. Go on a gastronomic adventure in Japan
In case you don’t have any problem splurging money on food then you might as well go on a food tour in Japan. It’s one of the best destinations to check out if you’re traveling with a group. There are tours offered to small groups that want to savor authentic sushi or experience a night of drinking at an Izakaya in Tokyo.
As you do so, don’t forget to take your party to Osaka which is dubbed as the country’s culinary capital. Aside from bar hopping, you should also visit Kuromon Ichiba Market which is best known for street food and seafood hawker stalls.
