Smithsonian Journeys and Thomson Family Adventures

We are pleased to announce a new joint venture in family travel. We at Thomson are known for our unparalleled expertise and limitless dedication to family travel, which makes us the perfect fit for Smithsonian and its mission: The increase and diffusion of knowledge.

We couldn’t be more enthusiastic about this exciting collaboration. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to help further the Smithsonian Institution’s noble mission, and unite its thirst for knowledge and education with our devotion to fun and educational travel for the whole family. On these five special itineraries, you’ll travel deep into rich, time-honored cultures, experience vibrant, flourishing ecosystems, and venture back in time to explore ancient civilizations.  Read more here.

New Baja Surfari

On our newest addition, Baja Surfari, your family will have an opportunity to learn how to surf from Mario, our energetic guide whose revolutionary system of surf instruction guarantees that you’ll get up on the board!  Check out this video of a boy's first day out on the waves! 

 

Our neighbor to the south is an easy-to-get-to destination that seems worlds away. Baja, Mexico is so close and has so much to offer–in addition to the Surfari and our Active Family Adventure, we also have another special departure.

 

February offers intense whale watching, a natural event so spectacular that we’ve added two days to the itinerary to witness it!
