3 Tips For A FUN Family Vacation in Norway – Outdoor Norway

Headed for a Vacation in Norway with your family? Be sure to visit Voss, and enjoy camping, rafting, and a range of other outdoor activities together!

Written by: Marcio Franco

Are you thinking about a vacation in Norway with your family and kids? Surely family vacations are one of the most incredible experiences anyone can have. They’re the perfect time for families to come together and relax, spend time, go on adventures and make memories to last a lifetime.

However, they can also get quite frustrating and exhausting when poorly planned. After all, it isn’t easy spending every moment together for several days or weeks, and travel itself can be very stressful.

If you’re headed over to Norway, you should focus on having the best family vacation with the help of these tips and advice:

1.     Plan Your Trip Around Experiences

Travelling is an enriching experience, and the sooner you introduce your kids to its wonderful potential, the better it is for their development and growth. Show them the wonders and the beauty the world has to offer, focusing on experiences instead of objects.

Don’t just go for the fanciest cities and most expensive shopping malls; there’s plenty of those everywhere. Take them to places where they can explore nature, see different landscapes, connect with new cultures and participate in experiences that will shape them.

2.     Choose Things Everyone Can Enjoy Together

An important part of planning is to consider everyone’s interests, hobbies, and passions. If you enjoy rafting, but your kids love hiking, and your partner likes camping, try to plan as many of these activities as you can.

This helps you keep your family engaged, interested and eager to try out each others’ hobbies, without feeling singled out or ignored.
