Our tailor-made packages for multi-generational holidays in Wales come with fun outdoor activities such as surfing, coasteering and rock-climbing, local exploring of the coastlines, villages and mountains, as well as great group accommodation options. And for the oldest and youngest generation who may not be quite as adventurous, we also offer activities that are beginner friendly and accessible to most fitness levels. There’s no better way to reconnect the family than by spending time together in the outdoors away from social media, Netflix and Playstation!

The Gower Peninsula
Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Bays & Beaches
Coasteering, Surfing, Rock-Climbing
The incredible Gower Peninsula has long been under the radar as a quality beachy UK destination, but recently this coastal area in South Wales has become increasingly popular and for good reason! The Gower is the first ‘designated area of outstanding natural beauty’ in the UK and offers loads of stunning beaches as well as epic outdoor activities. There is a nice consistent swell if you fancy taking your family on a private surf-lesson or for those looking to push some boundaries, Rhossili Bay is awesome for a coasteering adventure. The Gower is also just a beautiful place to explore and there is an extensive network of walking trails too (such as Three Cliffs Bay and from Mumbles to Langland). Big Blue offers lovely places to stay here for large family getaways, such as private lodges & bunkhouses as well as glamping (safari tents) and hotels. There are lots of quality pubs in The Gower, great for tasty family meals, or you’ll find even more options in Swansea.

This coastal national park is known for the Welsh coast path; passing rugged rock-formations and little bays and picturesque villages such as Solva, Porthgain & St. Davids (Britain’s smallest city). Tenby is a very popular day trip with families, famous for its colourful houses, cute harbour and nice shops. Popular watersports in Pembrokeshire include sea-kayaking (double and single kayaks, easy to balance, great for the more and less adventurous in the family), coasteering and wake-boarding at the wakepark! You may also want to try your hand at rock-climbing or the Tree-Tops trail, which comes with a section for adults and one for children. The west coast of Wales offers quality cottages and lodges to stay at, as well as B&B’s and family friendly campsites.
