TUI Experiences – Get More From Your Holiday!
Planning your family holiday is exciting, but one thing that’s often left until the last minute is deciding what you’ll actually do once you arrive. From thrilling waterparks and unforgettable boat trips to animal encounters and sightseeing tours, TUI experiences make it easy to organise your holiday activities before you’ve even packed your suitcase. Booking ahead can save time, reduce stress and help you make the most of every day of your holiday.
What Are TUI Experiences?
TUI Experiences are a huge collection of excursions, attractions and activities that you can book before or during your holiday. You don’t need to have booked your holiday with TUI either – anyone can browse and book from the range of experiences available.
With thousands of activities across Europe and beyond, you’ll find everything from waterparks and theme parks to boat trips, guided tours, cultural experiences and family-friendly adventures.
How to Search TUI Experiences (without the faff)
Finding the perfect TUI Experiences for your family is actually really simple once you know how, though it’s not always easy to navigate to the search page from the main website.
I’d recommend using the link below to be taken direct to the search page, then all you need to do is enter your destination or resort into the search bar, add your travel dates if you know them, and you’ll see all of the available activities for your trip.
You can then use the filters to narrow your search by price, duration, activity type or guest rating, making it easy to find excursions that suit your family. Once you’ve found something you like, click through to see what’s included, important information, reviews and available dates before booking online in just a few clicks.
Why Families Love TUI Experiences
One of the biggest benefits of TUI Experiences is the convenience. Rather than spending your first day abroad searching for excursions or comparing prices, you can have everything organised before you travel. Booking in advance also gives you the best chance of securing popular activities during the school holidays, when many excursions sell out well before arrival.
Families also love that many experiences include hotel pick-up, mobile tickets and experienced local guides, making days out much simpler when you’re travelling with children.
The Best TUI Experiences for Families
One of the reasons TUI experiences are so popular is the variety available. Whether your family prefers relaxing days by the sea or action-packed adventures, there’s something for every age group.
Some of the most popular family experiences include:
Water Parks
Water parks are always a favourite with children, especially during the summer months. You’ll find tickets for some of Europe’s biggest and best waterparks, with lazy rivers, wave pools, splash parks and adrenaline-fuelled slides suitable for all ages.
Boat Trips
Many families choose TUI experiences such as catamaran cruises, pirate boat trips and dolphin-watching excursions. They’re a brilliant way to see a destination from a different perspective while enjoying time together on the water.
Theme Parks & Attractions
If your family enjoys thrill rides or interactive attractions, you’ll also find tickets for popular theme parks and family attractions in destinations across Europe and beyond.
Cultural Days Out
Not every excursion has to involve rollercoasters. Many TUI Experiences introduce families to local culture through guided city tours, historical sites, traditional villages and food experiences that are suitable for all ages.
Other popular family activities include:
- Snorkelling adventures
- Jeep safaris
- Sightseeing tours
- Evening entertainment and dinner shows
- Family-friendly guided excursions
It’s a brilliant way to add something special to your holiday without having to organise everything yourself once you’re abroad.
Can You Book TUI Experiences Without Booking a TUI Holiday?
Yes! One of the biggest misconceptions about TUI Experiences is that they’re only available to TUI holiday customers.
In fact, anyone can book many of the excursions and attractions, making them a great option no matter who you’ve booked your flights or accommodation with.
Why It’s Worth Booking Before You Fly
Booking TUI Experiences before your holiday has several advantages. Popular activities can sell out during peak season, particularly during school holidays, so reserving your place in advance gives you peace of mind. It also allows you to spread the cost of your holiday by paying for activities before you travel rather than budgeting for everything once you’re abroad. Plus, having your plans organised means less time researching and more time enjoying your holiday.
What Destinations Offer TUI Experiences?
You’ll find TUI Experiences in many of the destinations UK families visit every year.
Some of the most popular include:
- Tenerife
- Majorca
- Lanzarote
- Gran Canaria
- Rhodes
- Crete
- Kos
- Corfu
- Cyprus
- Turkey
- Portugal
- Mexico
- Florida
- Dubai
Tips for Choosing the Right TUI Experience
With so many activities available, it’s worth thinking about what will work best for your family.
Before booking, consider:
- The ages of your children.
- How long the excursion lasts.
- Whether hotel transfers are included.
- If meals or refreshments are provided.
- Walking distances involved.
- Whether pushchairs are suitable.
- Departure times if you’re travelling with younger children.
A little planning can make a big difference to how enjoyable the day is for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions About TUI Experiences
Yes. You don’t need to have booked your holiday with TUI to book many of the available activities.
Yes, but popular excursions can sell out during busy periods, so booking before you travel is often recommended.

Many excursions include hotel pick-up and drop-off, but this varies by experience, so it’s always worth checking before booking.
Our Final Thoughts on TUI Experiences
A great holiday isn’t just about choosing the right hotel – it’s about creating unforgettable memories together. Whether your family wants to race down water slides, spot dolphins, explore ancient ruins or simply enjoy a relaxing boat trip, TUI Experiences make planning those special moments simple.
Booking before you travel means less time organising once you’re away and more time enjoying everything your destination has to offer. If you’re looking for easy, family-friendly ways to make your next holiday even more memorable, they’re well worth exploring.

Today we lost my Mum 💔. The most kind, caring, fun-loving woman I know. I made this video for her last month as I wanted to celebrate her while she was with us. She loved it. She asked what I was going to do with the video, and I said “I will post it so everyone can see how amazing you are…. when you’re dead I guess”. Then we all laughed. That was the sort of weird, dark humour we all had throughout this awful time.
We said all the things we wanted to say. She knew how much she is loved and how special she is. From the moment she was diagnosed she was positive, grateful and thought of everyone else. Leaving us with the best memories. She has had the most wonderful life, and she left peacefully with me, my brother and my dad by her side, just as she wished. Not everyone gets to leave on such good terms. Content and peaceful.
I cannot thank @stlukessheff for the care they gave my mum (and us) during the last week. My mum doesn’t want a traditional funeral, she had a unique wish for her send off which we will be doing just us. Rather than flowers or condolence gifts, a donation to St Luke’s would be appreciated. There is a link in my linktree where you can donate - we are so close to £10k 🙏🏻❤️
