After our bioluminescent kayak, Day 46 became a much‑needed rest day. We slept in, lounged by the pool and challenged each other to billiards in the homestay’s game room. Travel isn’t always relaxing; it’s about finding balance between adventure and downtime. As we watched afternoon rain showers pass over the bay, we realised that doing nothing together can be just as memorable as conquering mountains or caves.

Family travel tip: Schedule rest days every few stops, especially when travelling with children. Use these days to catch up on journaling, laundry or simply to enjoy each other’s company.

How do you incorporate rest into your travels? Our custom itineraries build in breathing space so you return home refreshed, not exhausted. Altogether, we spent about $78 for the day.
