We understand how intimidating it can be to start traveling with kids. Or to keep traveling with kids as your family grows and changes through the years.
We learned to travel as a family with our daughter, and had to re-learn in many ways when our son arrived. But that learning process is all part of the journey, and one we’re determined to continue.
But sometimes when you’re a busy parent, it feels like you don’t have enough time for coffee, let alone think about leaving town with your kids.
You can do it too! Keep it up! And we’re here to help. Our mission at Mango Tree is to make travel easier for you.
If you’ve just arrived on our site, and are wondering what we’re all about, here’s the short version:
We launched in 2022, setting out to make family travel easier. We built a curated collection of kid-friendly hotels across the Caribbean, and designed search filters to help parents like you find the best hotels for your families. (We’re quite proud of them, so check them out!) We also offer bespoke Caribbean travel planning services. And we also built this travel blog to share our best ideas with you.
Many of our ideas center on Caribbean travel, so be sure to check out our Caribbean destination guides for family travel.
But during our travels, we’ve also learned so many great tips for traveling with kids more generally, discovered excellent resources for family travel, and found our favorite travel products. We’ll collect them on this page so you can find them all in one place.
We hope this collection gets you amped up and ready to plan that next getaway!
