October Half Term Family Holidays

October half-term is a great time for a much needed break. Children and parents are tired after the first half of the term, and the whole family needs energy before tackling the final part of the year and the Christmas period.

October is a great time of year to visit Hong Kong, when the country experiences mild and dry weather. It is the best time to hike its trails, surf at the beach and visit Hong Kong Disneyland.

Disneyland Paris is also a good option for a long weekend in October, the parks are all decked out for Halloween and the weather in Paris is still mild.

Another Disney park to visit in October is Walt Disney World Resorts in Florida. The weather in Florida is just right at this time of year and hurricane season is over. You will get the chance to join the Halloween parties Orlando parks have to offer. The south of Florida is also a great option in October – go to the Everglades to meet the alligators and The Florida Keys for a tropical break.

Flying east, you can enjoy temperatures of 25-35 degrees in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Rah Al Khaimah in October. So if you want guaranteed sunshine, this is the ideal destination for you for October half term.

Oman is perfect in October for a family adventure, with its diverse fauna and flora, ancient cities, beautiful white sandy beaches and impressive mountains.

Mauritius is beautiful all year round, but during the Southern Hemisphere’s springtime, at this time of year, the plants are even more luscious and snorkeling and diving are at their best.
