Multi-Sport Vacations

Locations in this article:  Columbia, SC

Travel with family and friends can often be stressful. But here’s how you can balance it out – by taking a trip that involves multiple sports.

REI Adventures offers several multi-sport camping vacations, from hiking and kayaking in Kauai, to rafting and bicycling in British Columbia.

Prices for trips in the U.S. start at about $500 for a long weekend, and go up to about $1800 for a full week.

California-based Black Sheep Tours arranges custom multi-sport tours so you can go as bare-bones or as luxurious as you want.

A six-day trip to Cape Cod can include four days of easy-to-moderate biking, and two days of hiking plus optional kayaking and whale-watching excursions.

If you have a real sense of adventure, check out Outward Bound, which is a family-oriented program in Minnesota – and guess what you do there? Dog sledding and cross-country skiing.

Perhaps the best thing about these trips is that by the end of the day the family will be too tired to argue like they always do.
