There are a growing number of options available for family activity holidays in Europe.

Sea kayaking in Croatia
You could spend a week kayaking in sea off Croatia. Kayaking doesn’t have to be very physically tiring. Your children will love the opportunity to paddle themselves through the water at a leisurely pace and you will be close by to keep an eye on them along with a qualified instructor who can oversee your group.
Kayaking adventures can frequently be adapted to include opportunities for snorkelling or other boat trips as part of the experience.
