Maybe you had to cancel your family vacation since the lockdown started. Perhaps you have kids or siblings who are also dying to get back outside adventuring. Well, while we are all cooped up inside, why not have a family movie night to explore the world via Hollywood? From the French Polynesian Islands to the plains of Africa, these travel-related movies will have you daydreaming about your first trip after lockdown. So here are 15 family movies about travel!

Moana

Travel Inspiration: French Polynesia.

No other movie will leave you craving an adventure at sea like Moana. This story of bravery, adventure, and island life will impress both kids and adults alike. And above all, the music sets this one apart from the rest.

Coco

Travel Inspiration: Mexico for Dia De Los Muerto.

Coco tells the story of a young boy’s dream to become a musician. (Despite that his family hates music!) Set in Mexico on the Day of the Dead, this enchanting story highlights the relationship between grandmother and grandson. All the while featuring Mexico’s beautiful traditions at this one-of-a-kind festival.

While Santa Cecilia is an imaginary town, it is inspired by a variety of real life locations in Mexico you can actually visit.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HddkucqSzSM

Travel Inspiration: Greenland, Iceland, Yemen, Afghanistan.

With so many epic landscape shots, this film will leave you wanting to go EVERYWHERE. If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about travel as a monotonous day slipped by, you might be able to relate to Walter.

Cars

Travel Inspiration: Road Trip down Route 66.

No road trip is as iconic as cruisin’ down Route 66. But did you know Cars is based on the real life town of Seligman, Arizona? When lockdown is over, you just might have to get on America’s mother road and drive the famous road stretching Chicago to Santa Monica.

Rio

Travel Inspiration: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This story of two blue macaws is too cute to pass up! Not only will you have the songs stuck in your head but you’ll find yourself planning a trip to Brazil’s epic Carnival festival. Kids and adults alike will love this musical tale.

Holiday In The Wild

Travel Inspiration: Zambia, Africa.

This Netflix original has all the makings of a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie… but we can’t deny how much it will leave you wanting to travel Africa! Whether it’s to embark on a safari or volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary, this movie is certain to inspire your travel daydreams! Best served at the holidays with lots of Christmas cheer. (But we’d be lying if we said it’s not totally enjoyable year round!)

Mammia Mia

Travel Inspiration: Greece.

This classic ABBA musical will have you singing and dancing as you pack your bags for Greece! Filmed mostly on the island of Skopelos, you’ll be itching to toss your swimsuit on and dive in the crystal blue waters. And the toe-tapping music is sure to put a smile on your face!

Lion King

Travel Inspiration: African Safari.

From the awe-inspiring opening number of the film to it’s finale, the Lion King is sure to fuel your wanderlust for an upcoming trip to Africa. Hakuna matata!

Roman Holiday

Travel inspiration: Rome, Italy

If you haven’t already seen this black and white classic starring Audrey Hepburn, add it to your list. She’s as charming as can be. And the dashing Gregory Peck will have you swooning for your own Roman romance. Follow the pair around Italy as the day unfolds. It definitely ranks as one of our favorite family movies about travel!

Letters To Juliet

Travel Inspiration: Verona, Italy.

If you’re a hopeless romantic, you will love this film. And you’ll certainly find yourself daydreaming about beautiful Verona. Did you know can actually volunteer to read and respond to all the love letters written to Juliet like in the movie? How dreamy.

National Lampoon’s Vacation

Travel Inspiration: American Road Trip: Grand Canyon, Monument Valley & more.

Fun, wacky and charming. If you’re looking for a family movie about travel, look not further. This classic captures the feelings many of us have felt while on a vacation with the family. So pile in the car…. and let’s go!

Born in China

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJh7Zhq6SE

Travel Inspiration: China.

Any of the Disney Nature films will leave you with feelings of awe long after the movie is over. Get up close and personal with a cute panda bear family, a bunch of snow leopards and golden monkeys.

Slumdog Millionaire

Travel Inspiration: India.

This moving film will inspire your future travels to India. But just so you know, it only makes the cut for family movie night if the youngsters aren’t involved. (Due to a few mature scenes!) But overall, it’s a beautiful and haunting tale that will warm your heart.

March of the Penguins

Travel Inspiration: Antarctica.

Narrated by Morgan Freeman and with tons of cute penguins, what’s not to love?! Watch as the penguins waddle their way around the 7th continent. Full of highs and lows, this movie is sure to leave you on the edge of your seat. In other words, prepare to get very emotionally invested in some penguin drama. Bundle up, let’s head to Antarctica!

Brave

Travel Inspiration: Scotland.

Shots of the sweeping Scottish landscape with swells of Scottish music make this movie a real travel favorite! And as a result, you may start making plans to visit Scotland with the family. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

And save these family movies about travel on Pinterest!

These 15 family movies will be sure to inspire your wanderlust while you stay at home! From awe-inspiring animations like Moana, to feel-good classics like Mama Mia! See if you can guess where each movie takes place without reading the captions! What wanderlust family movies would you add to this list?

  • Traveled solo in China earlier this year and became slightly obsessed! Out of the now 150 countries I’ve been to, I think it might actually be in my top 10!

That’s why I had to add it to our group trips! We are officially 1 year away from our Zhangjiajie - Chongqing - Beijing/Shanghai group adventure with just a few spots left! 

***Comment “China” and I’ll send you the trip info, and also an option to see my general blog post about it with tips (but PLZ don’t copy it for business purposes 🙏)

If you’re on my level of adventure-obsessed, this is definitely the trip for you! It includes all of my favorite activities I did, like the Skyscraper Rappelling, Cloud Walk and Swing, Motorcycle video shoot, and alllllll the Avatar mountain things!
 
Btw can you tell I’m wearing an “Avatar” outfit doing the zip line in the Avatar Mountains? 🤓 

I’ll also be curious to see if we can recreate my Great Wall of China pics with no people from when I was there almost 10 years ago…before people-remover was a basic editing feature!
  • I prefer the word “adventurous”. Would you do this? Read first for context!

This is the notorious “Devil’s Pool” at the top of Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe!

I will not tell you it’s not dangerous or that it’s safe, just that the locals have created a safe-as-possible experience here that allows you to swim in this pool due to the steep and wide lip of the falls.

So it’s not just a river that ends over the edge, it first goes in a deep pool, which would stop any large object, like a human, from going over the edge.

There are ropes involved and also someone is holding onto your foot when you’re at the edge… I’ll show that BTS next!

I’ve done this 3 times and it’s definitely a thrill! It’s also freezing and my main fear was the crocodiles and hippos that also live in the Zambezi River!

  • No salt, sharks, or crowds at this crystal clear "beach" in North Macedonia!

That's because it's a lake! Lake Ohrid is famous for European vacations and it's pretty affordable there as well!

  • Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy!

[Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!]

It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar!

The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass.

Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi..

Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it!

I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃

What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience??

Went to the viral Underwater Wine Cellar in Kotor, Montenegro and here's my honest feedback as someone who lives on a vineyard by the sea in Italy! [Comment "Kotor" and I'll send you the extensive detailed Balkans Roadtrip itinerary and tips I just made, including all the info to go here!] It's definitely a unique concept, I've only seen one other like it in Sardinia but they don't offer tastings like this. So 10/10 for the idea to do a floating barge Wine bar! The wine was pretty good, not sure about the pricing at €55 per bottle minimum and no option for wine by the glass. Also it was very expensive to get there... €100 for a 20 minute round-trip water taxi.. Also you don't really dive down for your own bottle they pull up a crate and take it from there but you can ask if you can go do it! I didn't feel it was most welcoming vibe but it was also high season and they're super popular so... 🙃 What do you think? Would you spend $150+ for this experience?? --------------- For anyone new here, hi!
