Get family travel that works for everyone. Zipline through Costa Rica's cloudforest, surf Sri Lanka's southern coast, or sail around the Greek isles. These journeys blend teen independence with expert planning, balancing hands-on adventures with time together.
Discover customized journeys, shaped around how teens actually travel, and take to the world with our Adventure Architects, where teens lead the way. Every itinerary is exclusive and private, made uniquely for you by our family travel experts.
Being a teenager on a family trip is always a balancing act. You want time together, but you also want space to explore on your own terms. When you get that mix right, everything shifts. The energy lifts. The excitement builds. And the moments you share become the ones you remember long after you’re home.
With Scott Dunn, that balance comes naturally. Our teen journeys are created with teenagers in mind, so every day feels fresh, fun and full of possibility. Think hands‑on experiences, real culture, big firsts and the kind of adventures that pull you out of the familiar. Parents get the ease of expert planning. Teens get the freedom to dive into the things they love.
It’s family travel that comes alive. Teens get the freedom to explore. Parents get the space to unwind. And when you meet in the middle, the moments feel richer, more vibrant and impossible to forget.
Teens want the chance to explore on their own terms. With an Adventure Architect, you all can head out to discover the local area, try new things and dive into experiences that feel fresh and real. These expert local hosts are the difference between a fun vacation and an unforgettable one.
It’s not always about where you go, but rather how you do it. We’ve been planning luxury trips with teens for decades to destinations all over the world. While most countries offer incredible getaways, it’s our custom-made tours that truly highlight a place in a way most meaningful to your teens.

Whether fitting a quick beach escape in between semesters or looking to make the most of that summer break before college, we know the best places to go and when to do it to make the most of your time together.
Not as grown as adults but not as dependent as kids, teenagers signify a special time when they are coming into their own; learning about their passions, interests, and selves. And we believe family vacations should grow with them, fostering a sense of adventure and meaningful travel. At Scott Dunn, we pride ourselves on viewing families as unique units with their own version of a luxury escape, rather than a prepackaged one-size-fits-all approach. So, we don’t only know families, we know your family, and the perfect vacation for them.
Safety is woven into every detail of how we design and deliver our journeys. Your Adventure Architects travel with the family throughout, providing a consistent, trusted presence from the first day to the last. Every activity is carefully vetted, every operator meets our exacting standards, and every experience is planned with age-appropriate boundaries built in. But safety for us goes beyond the practical. It's about teenagers feeling secure enough to push their boundaries, try something new, and step into experiences with confidence. That's the environment we create, and the one your family deserves.
Most family vacations are designed around compromise. Activities that broadly suit everyone but truly excite no one. Ours are built differently. We surveyed teenagers across the globe to understand what they actually want from travel, then designed every itinerary around those insights. The result is a journey where teenagers are genuinely engaged, not just along for the ride. Hands-on experiences replace passive sightseeing, and every itinerary is designed to build independence and confidence in a way that feels natural rather than engineered. Your Adventure Architect ensures the whole journey has energy, continuity, and moments that resonate with every member of the family, because it was designed with teenagers at the heart of it.
All-inclusive resorts, superb creche facilities, and effortless itineraries - let us ensure your family vacation is a magical one. With Scott Dunn, discover fun, leisurely experiences for both little ones and adults.
Primary school years are magical for family travel as children's natural curiosity peaks, and every experience becomes an adventure.
Vacations with preteens call for extraordinary experiences that spark curiosity, challenge boundaries, and create stories they'll tell for years to come.
We're here to help you choose the perfect destination for your next trip with teenagers. Whether you wish to explore ancient ruins, indulge in decadent spa treatments, or embark on an experiential tour with our trusted guides, we will make sure that your trip is nothing short of remarkable.

Go hiking through the Dolomites or sledging through Lapland on an adventure vacation with teenagers. Embrace learning from the ancient temples in Asia or the endemic wildlife of Africa on safari. Rest between semesters with thrilling watersports and idyllic beach getaways for the picture-perfect tan. Whatever calls to your teen's dreams, we have a getaway to suit.
