Parents Travelling Solo with Children as Young as Two Can Snorkel Around Shipwrecks, Climb Active Volcanos and Zip-line Through Jungles

STORY BY Debbie 14th January 2020

Holidays with the kids in tow can be taxing for parents travelling solo, with no-one to share the workload. Parents who choose to take time out often feel guilt and experiential adventures are seemingly out of the question. two point four is excited to offer the ideal solution with the launch of single parent holidays in 2020, including a 12-day adventure to Bali, a 10-day trip to Costa Rica and more soon to be announced.

Exclusively for parents travelling solo, two point four’s family adventures will delight little ones whilst supporting parents and allowing them to meet other likeminded adults. The tours are open to all kinds of parents travelling solo, be it single parent families, couples who find one parent cannot get time off work or parents who simply want to spend one-on-one time with their kids.

With an average of three to four families per group, children and parents alike can build meaningful connections whilst being exposed to new destinations and experiences. Local knowledgeable guides and professional childcare staff will allow adults to feel fully supported and able to have the time and energy to enjoy quality time with their kids.

Richard Liddle, founder of two point four says “Day-to-day family life can be hectic, from the early morning school-run to cooking dinner after a long day’s work. Likewise, experiential holidays traditionally do not allow much-needed time to switch off and especially present challenges for single parents, from entertaining the kids to facing feelings of isolation. Two point four’s exclusive solo parent tours however will ensure parents are fully supported, enabling them to enjoy their holiday and spend precious time with their children in an exciting new environment.”

Activities include wildlife spotting, surfing or traditional cooking classes as a family then leaving the children with the professional childcare experts for a traditional dance activity while adults enjoy white water rafting, canyoning or waterfall jumping. In addition to the thrilling adventure activities, adults wishing to relax with a spa treatment or enjoy a drink with other likeminded parents can do so, with professional childcare support scheduled in and local knowledgeable guides taking care of the rest.

two point four welcomes children of all ages but is the only operator that specifically arranges adventure holidays for two- to five-years-olds. The trips are fully tailored to families and are specially designed to teach kids about the world beyond the classroom, from local cultures and cuisines to wildlife immersion.
