Inspirational island getaway family holiday to United Arab Emirates and Seychelles
An unforgettable family vacation combining the man-made thrills of glitzy Dubai with the natural wonders of a tropical island sanctuary in Seychelles. Experience water parks and theme parks as well as nature in all its glory with exhilarating wildlife encounters including giant tortoises and turtles. First, a few days in enthralling Dubai, famed for its wealth of attractions. Spend a family day at one of its incredible water parks, at LegoLand Dubai, or perhaps IMG Worlds of Adventure. Alternatively, visit Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, KidZania, or opt for a few hours at Ski Dubai. Be sure not to miss a trip to the top of the world, the Burj Khalifa - the tallest building on the planet. As part of this itinerary, we've also included a half-day 4x4 desert safari with dune bashing and dinner.
Next, head to the Seychelles for the ultimate contrast. Immerse yourself in an island paradise where nature takes centre-stage. Explore the island by bicycle, discovering unique ground-nesting birds as well as giant tortoises including Toby who's over 130 years old. Depending on the time of year, take advice from the activity centre team as to the best place to snorkel with turtles, kayak behind the lagoon, learn to dive, or simply head off for a spot of ultimate beachcombing.
