Active Holidays for Teenagers

Let’s all go back a few (or maybe a lot) years ago and reminisce when we were teens-the partying, staying up late, adventure was  and still is all part of being a teen. When it comes to having a great holiday, there is no doubt that teens have a thing for adventure. There is no way your teen will enjoy his holiday if you take them someplace quiet and have them read books. With this in mind, here are some active holidays for teenagers that they will love.

New York is a place teens will surely love. Its rich street culture, cheap clothes and gadgets and the fact that it is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world should be enough for teenagers to enjoy this amazing destination. Many of those films they love have been filmed here so you can never go wrong taking them to New York. And who knows? They might even be up for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.

Mountain climbing or trekking is another activity that your teen will be happy to do. Morocco’s mightiest mountain Jebel Toubkal-the highest mountain in the Atlas Mountains is a great destination for active holidays for teenagers. The mountains provide fantastic scenery while trekking to the top and one can enjoy the friendly locals and discover a different culture. A visit to Marrakech will enchant teens with acrobats, snake charmers and other night life entertainment that can be found here.

Believe it or not, even teens get tired of their high paced city lifestyles and will love to spend time away in the wilderness. A safari in the Kruger National Park in South Africa will enchant anyone with its rich wildlife and game parks. A trip in the wild is sure to entertain the most hyperactive of teens so this is a sure win.

Giving your teen a chance to live like a King or Queen by renting out an entire Villa is another great idea for your holiday.  The best way to make sure this works is to team up with another family or more who also have teens-where there is a crowd, there is fun. Let them explore the villa and nearing village on their own while you and your honey spend some quality alone time.

Teens can be a hassle at home but we all know how much they enjoy holidays. Select the best places for your next holiday destination and they’ll love you for it. Perhaps, you’ll even get a kiss or two for your efforts afterward.
