Adventure travel has come a long way in the past few decades. Destinations and activities once reserved for only the hardiest of souls are now open to active travelers of all ages and abilities-including kids!

Family adventure travel could be as mellow as a weekend stay at a Colorado dude ranch or as "out there" as a week heli-skiing in Iceland. It all depends on your family's interests, experience and budget. Here are some tips for finding the most ideal adventure vacation for you: Narrow down your adventure focus.

  1. Narrow down your adventure focus. Get a feel for the different adventure options available with some perusing of the Internet. Gordon's Guide is an award-winning web site that calls itself a "supermall" of adventure travel, listing more than 700 adventure and active travel companies. Family Adventure Magazinehas compiled different adventures by "destinations" and by "interests and activities."

    On these two websites, you'll find a number of different outfitters. A few I think are pretty neat are Wildland Adventures, an eco-travel company offering family safaris to Kenya and cruises to the Galapagos; GORP Travel, with hiking in Montana and snorkeling in Belize; Thomson Family Adventures, offering cultural trips to China and camping in Peru; and Backroads, with biking in Italy and kayaking in Canada.
  2. Check age minimums. Once you've narrowedthe focus, whether it's touring the Costa Rican rainforest or rafting the Grand Canyon, be sure to check the age or weight requirements for the trip. You don't want to get all excited about going hot-air ballooning in France with your kindergartener, only to find out that kids under age six aren't allowed.
