As the only continent on the planet that is not permanently inhabited by man and is left in its completely natural state, Antarctica is the ideal place to take active holidays with a difference. Not only will you have the chance to participate in some fantastic activities, but you'll also get to take in a diverse array of wildlife.
For family activity holidays with a difference, look no further than Antarctica. With amazing wildlife and stunning scenery that you would otherwise only get to see on the TV, a trip to this part of the world makes for the break of a lifetime.
Horse riding holidays make for a great active break, enabling you to discover a country in a different way, connect to nature, see places that you otherwise wouldn’t normally see and keep fit too. From galloping across the Argentine Pampas, to Andalusian style in Spain, or trekking across meadows of wild flowers and vineyards in Tuscany, here’s our pick of the best places in the world for horse riding holidays.
