Summer is normally the time when kids spend their days away from the classroom, but that doesn’t mean they have to stop learning. Travel is a great way to expose them to different cultures, food, languages, landscapes, and animals (!). By booking your family aboard a luxury jet charter, you can expose them to exciting, educational and exhilarating travel adventures around the world. All you have to do is pack your bags and your venturesome spirit.

1. Swim in the Bay of Pigs

Far from the center of the Cuban missile crisis of the 1960s, this particular bay of pigs is in reference to the original swimming porcine of the Exuma Cays. Found on Pig Beach near Big Major Cay, one of the 365 islands that make up the Exumas archipelago in the Bahamas, the swimming pigs have become a major attraction since being featured in a 2014 documentary film. No one is sure how they actually got to the island, but one thing is for sure, your family will love frolicking with the snouted creatures in the crystal blue waters of this breathtaking island resort area that is accessible by yacht and by Bahamas private jet charters.

2. Paddle by Fire and Ice

Despite its name, Iceland is a four-season playground and has some of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring landscapes found on the planet. One of the best ways to see the fjords and volcanoes of Iceland is not only by private jet charter but also by sea. Day, multi-day and private kayaking tours are offered all over the island nation and in the vicinity of the capital of Reykjavik. You and your family can paddle in the calm seas of a glacier lagoon and see untouched nature along the nearby shoreline. Gasp as basalt cliffs jut up from the ocean and giant icebergs crackle. See whales, seals and birds frolic up close and be dazzled as the Northern Lights light up the sky. Your family will never look at the earth the same way again.  

3. Gallop Along the Atlantic

Ireland has always been a popular destination for families wanting to uncover their roots. However, there are other adventures to be found on the Emerald Isle than kissing the Blarney stone and walking the stony steps of castles. Along the Atlantic Coast of County Sligo, about 120 miles west by Dublin charter plane, is the Chariots of Fire for horseback riders, where hooves, surf and hearts pound as you gallop along miles of empty sandy beach. Adventure on Horseback allows you and your family to stay at an authentic holiday horse farm right on the Atlantic shore. Embark on guided adventures suitable for both experienced and intermediate riders and trek further into the hinterland and mountains to see waterfalls, lakes, historic castles and homes.

4. Ride the Red Dunes

If the only exposure your kids have had to Africa is The Lion King, then it may be time for them to experience one of the most culturally rich and animal-laden areas on the continent. Not just a safari destination, Namibia on the west coast of southern Africa is home to one of the truest deserts on the continent (the Namib) and the beautiful Etosha National Park. Filled with fun and extreme adventures, you and your family might even like to try something called sandboarding on the famous sand dunes of Sossusvlei in the Namib. Like snowboarding, but on sand, you can speed down the dunes either on foot by lying down head first at 50 miles and hour. Dune and quad bugging is also available for those who prefer to have four wheels on the ground. Looking to book a luxury jet charter for you and your family? Contact Stratos Jet Charters.
