Family Holidays
We understand that families are becoming more demanding and adventurous in their choice of holiday. The fact is that the majority of us, due to either time or finances, can have only one annual holiday together making this precious time spent together even more important. We have hand picked certain destinations that can fulfil all your family needs, for now you can discover places that are not only rich in culture, natural beauty, and bursting with activities but that also include unbelievable fishing. Ones that ensure all partners and family members share in the delights of your chosen holiday location; all returning home with combined memories.
It's truly amazing how far family holidays have come over the last few years. The places you can now go and the experiences you can have just keep on growing. Therefore when our researchers go away on any of our research trips to possible new and exciting destinations, they also look for additional activities apart from fishing that will entertain any non angling partners. In addition to this we also look for and put together more dedicated family holidays that either only includes a limited amount of fishing or where the fishing is completely optional, just as with any other activity.
Below you will find a list of our dedicated "Divorce Free" holidays where you and your family can either do everything or virtually nothing in exotic locations such as Thailand, Kenya, Belize and you can even have an Arabian Experience, where you can stay and indulge in luxury, while still enjoying the natural side of the country. You could even end up taking a desert safari and doing a belly dance in a bedewing camp. Whatever you want, just contact one of our travel consultants and we will be pleased to put together a tailor made "Divorce Free" holiday for you and your family, and remember we know what we are talking about as we visit all our destinations ourselves, therefore we can only talk from experience…
