Niarra Travel wholeheartedly believes that adventurous travel is a meaningful way to spend quality time with your family in the great outdoors—and the right kind of experiences can have profoundly positive effects on young and mature minds alike. Niarra can create an adventure tailored to any family, like exploring the pristine natural beauty of Costa Rica through white-water rafting, waterfall hikes, and meeting the indigenous Cabécar people. South Africa is a multi-gen travel destination for adventure and sustainability: in Niarra’s Family Adventure in South Africa itinerary, families will see three of the country’s most stunning destinations, with something for all ages at each stop. For example, at the magnificent Villa One at Ellerman House in Cape Town, younger guests can experience whale-watching, beach walks with penguins, and paragliding; in the far north, families can enjoy regular sightings of white rhinos, wild dogs, lions, and cheetah. On the El Karama Lodge family adventure, both child and parent will enjoy the much-loved owner-operated safari lodge on a beautiful private wildlife conservancy in the foothills of Mount Kenya. With its broad roster of activities, warm team, and immersive wildlife adventures, it is an excellent lodge for families of all ages. And finally, on the Ecuador and Galapagos Explorer itinerary, guests will spend a full week island hopping aboard Ecoventura’s Origin boat for with shore excursions, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and iconic wildlife viewing. Norway Wildflower Peak Season
Originally built in Norway in 1914, the S/Y Framstig was discovered and rebuilt in the 1970s by five adventurers from the island community of Flemsøy. After completely refurbished—rigged with two masts and brand-new sails—the S/Y Framstig was taken on a three-year voyage across the oceans. Svein Flem, one of the five original builders, keeps the adventure of the Framstig alive by taking the ship through scenic sails across Norway’s dramatic coastline for intrepid climbers, hikers, skiers, and kayakers. The S/Y Framstig is a certified passenger ship holding all required safety equipment and amenities with 11 bunks, kitchen and galley, and bathroom. The ship is privately chartered, creating an exclusive experience aboard this historic sailboat.
The warm, summer temperatures in August makes this time of year peak flowering time for the Norway wildflowers. With Niarra Travel, guests can sail Norway’s lesser-known waterways aboard a private yacht, the S/Y Framstig, for incomparable views of the region’s wildflower peak season. From the port town of Ålesund, guests will board the Framstig for a week-long voyage. Stops at the island of Runde boast raucous birdlife and endless wildflower fields for a relaxing yet adventure-filled stopover before a 5,131 foot hike up the Sunnmøre Alps with plenty of local cuisines.
