The Ultimate Trip for Families Looking for a Remote Location to Get Off-the-Grid

Last updated 8th January 2019

If your family is in search of a remote location for your next vacation or a way to get the kids off their phones and fully engaged, look no further than the Lost & Found journey from Niquesa Travel.

This trip is not for the faint of heart, since the location is so remote they don’t even tell you where you’re going first. Yes, you read that correctly. You sign up for this trip without actually knowing the exact location you’ll be dropped off at. But it’s well worth the uncertainty for the family bonding that will almost certainly take place on this seriously off-the-grid trip.

You will travel with a guide by helicopter to the undisclosed spot and get dropped off. A guide will place a box on the ground before climbing back in the helicopter and leaving you to your journey. Inside the box are a set of instructions and all the essentials you need to survive. With help at various points by the expert trip leader, Dr. Raj Joshi, you’ll spend a week enjoying nature, exploring pristine wilderness and learning to work together as a family.

The trip typically takes 10 nights, but it can be customized and tailored to fit your individual family needs. Safety is also a top priority and the Niquesa Travel team monitors progress and where you are throughout the whole trip so you can rest easy under the stars.

If this extreme trip doesn’t sound like quite your family’s speed, Niquesa Travel offers several other options ideal for families and kids looking to reconnect and get off the beaten path.

During the X-Box Detox trip, families can explore the stunning landscapes and animals of the Maasai Mara with expert safari guides. Teens on the trip learn how to create stories and come away with a new skill. Aided by a prestigious filmmaker, they will learn to produce and edit a wildlife documentary.

And for those with younger children, the X Marks the Spot vacation take families on a boating treasure hunt that explore some of the Caribbean’s most remote islands, complete with buried loot and pirates at the end.

Thanks to these unique experiences, going remote doesn’t mean you’ll be bored for a second.
