Generation Exploration



Classic Escapes offers your family the chance to explore the world unplugged together. Cast your children, sibling, parents or cousins as your co-stars in a Generation Exploration trip to any of the exciting destinations Classic Escapes offer. We'll provide the spectacular setting, supporting wildlife, and wonders that are sure to bring you closer together and create memories you will always treasure: from swimming with friendly sea lions in the Galapagos, to riding a camel in the shadow of the pyramids, to eating a barbecue dinner beneath a canopy of stars in an Africa boma and sharing stories around a bonfire of the lion that got away (or didn't).

Generation Exploration Family Adventure: Costa Rica
Don’t just watch the nature channel with your family, experience it!  Leave the television remote behind and instead, explore the beauty of Costa Rica.  There’s something for every family member on this trip – from white-water rafting, to canoeing, to horseback riding, to kayaking.  Return refreshed and closer than ever to having discovered together the secrets of the reef, the rainforest, the volcano and the falls.

Generation Exploration Family Adventure: Ecuador & the Islands of the Galapagos
Just a quick flight from Miami lays a whole other world for your family to explore. Discover the beauty of Ecuador from its colonial history in Quito, to hiking, horseback riding and staying at a hacienda at the foot of Cotopaxi Volcano. Leave behind the Charles Darwin textbooks, as natural history comes alive for your family while walking in his footsteps on the enchanted isles of the Galapagos. Share close encounters with some of our planet's coolest wildlife from Blue-footed Boobies, mysterious marine iguanas to swimming and snorkeling with friendly sea lions and petting the 600-pound tortoise that the islands their name.

Generation Exploration Family Safari to Kenya

There's no better way to bridge that generation gap than by exploring Kenya unplugged together. Create memories together you will always treasure from the magic of a hot air balloon above the Serengeti  to riding a camel in Sweetwaters and learning about the Maasai in the Mara.

Generation Exploration Family Adventure to
South Africa

Round up the kids for an adventure to South Africa, where every day reveals exciting discoveries, from a cable car to the top of Table Mountain and a steam train over the Outeniqua Pass, to Cape fur seal and penguin colonies, and whale watching along the Indian Ocean coast. Not only will you see springbok and buffalo herds, lion prides and solitary leopards, you will interact and learn from researchers at conservation centers and rural outposts, including the Cheetah Outreach Centre, Knysna Elephant Park and an ostrich farm. Contrast and compare the different communities in South Africa – Cape Town, Stellenbosch and the township of Kayamandi. Collect feathers, shells and ostrich quills during bush walks with rangers and trackers. You’ll be talking about this trip for years to come.

Generation Exploration Family Safari To Tanzania
Experience the ultimate in “cool” as you travel back to the dawn of time with your family. Visit traditional villages where life has changed little. This is a vacation the entire family will talk about for years to come – from that first elephant slowly lumbering like a dinosaur past your Land Cruiser to camping out in tents with bed and private bathrooms,  to learning the Hadzabe's click language and dancing with the Maasai. The amazing wildlife viewing you see as you cross Tanzania’s varied terrain by Land Cruiser and on foot, is only enhanced by a visit to Olduvai Gorge, rich in some of the oldest fossils of man and wildlife.
