In Britain there are many superb places which make for excellent activity holidays. Whilst many people go on a holiday to relax and do nothing, an activity holiday is the exact opposite and crammed full of things to do. On an activity holiday, depending upon where you go there can be literally dozens of thrilling things you can choose to do, many of which you have probably never experienced before. In Britain, some of the most popular activities for such a holiday may include:

Abseiling
Canoeing
Potholing
Caving
Hang Gliding
Paintballing
Quad Biking
Water Skiing
Trekking
Mountain Boarding
Jet Skiing

Caving and potholing are two of the most traditional activities for British activity holidays, in which you have the opportunity to explore some of the many underground caves and caverns which are scattered throughout Britain. While a traditional relaxing type of holiday may suit the parents, when there are kids in tow this can often be a boring holiday for them. Fortunately, there are many places worldwide which offer activity holidays where the parents can relax and do as they wish whilst been safe in the knowledge their children are in the capable and trusted hands of activity holiday staff. It really depends on why you are going on a holiday. If as a parent you really don't wish to partake in any activities as such but wish to lay on the beach, sunbathe, relax, visit restaurants and maybe do some casual walking, shopping and sight seeing and basically do your own thing at your own speed, but you are going to be taking your children, you need to be aware beforehand that children tend not to appreciate the same things as you, and in countries which have a hot climate also this can make for an extremely frustrating time which in most cases will end up with arguments and stress, which you most certainly do not want on a holiday.

If you can find a place which offers exactly what you want, and also offers plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied then you can go on holiday together with your family but also spend time doing what you want to do so everybody enjoys their holiday, and there are plenty of such places. In fact, many of the most tropical holiday places in the world offer a good amount of activities which are sure to keep the kids happy, so it is win-win.
