What we do

At Stubborn Mule, we are experts in designing exciting, rewarding and fun family holidays all across the world. From the lush rainforests of Costa Rica to the immaculate tea plantations of Sri Lanka, and from the temples of Egypt to the jungle-clad ruins of the Mayans, we’ve got it all covered.

Using our experience and knowledge, we’ll create the ideal holiday for your family, designed with your interests and your children in mind. Active families with older children will want to whizz across the rainforest canopy in Thailand on zip-lines, whilst toddlers may prefer a more sedate pace along the jungle floor.

Beach-loving teens will need plenty of time to kick off the flip flops and find a hammock on the beach, whereas kids who can’t sit still will need regular doses of adventure, whether by raft, kayak, bike or mule.

Why Stubborn Mule Travel?

As the UK’s leading specialist tailor-made family tour operator, we have absolutely unrivalled expertise in designing and arranging family holidays. We’ve travelled the world on adventures with our children and we know what works. From teens to toddlers to multi-generational trips with the grandparents in tow, we’ll be able to advise you on how to make the most of your valuable holiday time.

To quote one of our families: “Honestly, I cannot say what an impact you have had on our lives – we travelled a lot before we had kids and you have made one of our passions, exploring the world, accessible to us again as a family.”

What our customers say

Choose destinations by school holiday

Our holiday was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every section of it. All the excursions and pick-ups worked perfectly and took the stress out of organising our own activities. The guides were brilliant too.
