Family travel reviews and advice from Footsteps Family Travel Blog…
We’re a family of six who’ve always loved adventurous holidays and travel, something that can sometimes be a challenge (not to mention expensive) with a large, growing family ranging from a baby up to fully-grown teenagers.
We’ve always tried our best to get around and see as much of the world as possible with the children as they’ve grown up and always felt that travelling with a family like ours is made easier when you can have the advice and experiences of others who’ve done the same. So we set up this blog to document our travels and provide help, advice, reviews and information to other families doing the same. Read more about us…

Day Trip to Banana Island, Qatar Posted in category: Qatar - Banana Island is a luxury 5-star hotel and beach resort on a purpose-built island that sits about a 20-minute boat ride from the coast of Qatar. We were staying in a city-centre hotel in Qatar, so thought it’d be good to spend one day away from the city at a quieter, more relaxing beach venue - as we had tours of the city and the desert the following days that’d be a bit more intense. Banana Island offers a day pass to guests who aren’t… Read More
Elephant Hills, Thailand: Review Posted in category: Thailand - Elephant Hills is a jungle adventure camp in Khao Sok national park, Thailand. They call it a ‘soft’ adventure, which I think is a good description of the balance they’ve created of spending time in the beautiful natural environment of the Khao Sok jungle, but in a way that’s comfortable, suitable for families and people of all ages and abilities - and fully catered. Elephant Hills has a range of different packages depending on how many nights you stay - from 2 to 4 nights… Read More
P&O Arvia Caribbean Cruise Review: What to Expect on a Caribbean Cruise on P&O Arvia Posted in category: Caribbean - We booked a two-week Caribbean cruise with P&O on its newest ship Arvia, having been amazed the previous year by its almost identical sister ship Iona in the Norwegian Fjords. What we hoped for was to get away from the dreadful British winter weather and to see a part of the world we’d not visited before, in a way that would be a relaxed and convenient mode of seeing as much of the Caribbean as possible. P&O Arvia at sunset in the port of St… Read More
Iceland Family Holiday Itinerary: Our Half-Term Family Holiday to Iceland Posted in category: Iceland - We spent five amazing days in Iceland. Here's our full Iceland holiday itinerary with our advice and reviews on what we got up to on our family trip to Reykjavik... The May half-term arrived and, despite looking for several weeks for some last-minute getaways, we'd found nothing suitable and thought we'd have to shelve our plans of going away, especially as not only were we struggling to find any available options last-minute that were within budget, but the weather around much of Europe was looking… Read More
Snowdon Watkin Path Waterfalls – The Most Beautiful Spot in Snowdonia? Posted in category: Snowdonia - This has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the whole of Snowdonia and, maybe therefore, in the whole of the UK? There are numerous tracks up to the top of Snowdon, the Watkin Path being one which we find to be the most picturesque. Although we've walked to the top of Snowdon several times, we've never followed the Watkin Path all the way to the summit, largely because close to the top it gets extremely steep and dangerous - too much so… Read More
