1. Father Son Fishing Trips in ALASKA
When you think of an epic father son fishing trip, what comes to mind? I’m guessing Alaska! And man, does it ever look INCREDIBLE. Choose between remote fly-in options and a road trip, chartering as you go.
Kenai Peninsula is the most popular option for father son fishing trips to Alaska. Access it by car from Anchorage. Kenai River is famous for being the spawning ground for millions of pacific salmon. And the upper Kenai River is ideal for father son fishing trips in Alaska, because there are areas for all levels of fishermen. Book a fishing charter in Kenai or Homer, which is known for its halibut.
Plus, there are SO many things to explore on and near Kenai Peninsula. Explore the glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park, and stay at a cabin near Exit Glacier. Fly out to Alaska’s “Emerald Isle” of Kodiak to explore the WWII defense installations at Fort Abercrombe State Historical Park. Stop at the ghost town of Portage, destroyed in the 1964 earthquake. And spend a night at the luxury Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood.
Interested in a more remote fly-in fishing experience in Alaska? Consider King Salmon. King Salmon is a quiet, peaceful getaway on the Naknek River. Take a day trip to Katmai National Park for the best chances of seeing grizzly bears in the wild. There’s a lookout at Brooks Falls to watch bears catch salmon as they leap into the air! Plus, the area is known for its post-volcanic landscape and more awesome fishing.
The best time for a father son fishing trip in Alaska is mid-June to July. Perfect for a Father’s Day trip! Plan your trip with Travel Alaska.

2. MONTANA Fishing Trips for Father and Son
Looking for great fishing trips for father and son in the contiguous United States? (Or fishing trips for father and daughter, too, of course.) Montana is flowing with perfect places to take your dad fishing. My favorite place is Glacier National Park, with amazing scenery, too. The best fishing spots in Glacier National Park are Two Medicine Lakes and Lake McDonald. At Two Medicine Lakes, you can catch brook trout and rainbow trout between November 15 and September 15. Lake McDonald has lake trout and cutthroat.
While in Glacier National Park, be sure to do the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road between West Glacier and St Mary. Go for a hike or two. Great places to stay are Lake McDonald Lodge, right on the lake. And Hidden Moose Lodge in Whitefish, about half an hour from West Glacier.

3. Epic Father Daughter Trip to NEW YORK CITY
My ideal father daughter trip to New York City would look a little different than the one I described in Best Trips with Mom. Fun places to stay in NYC with Dad include bustling Brooklyn or chill Staten Island. Depending on what experience my dad wanted from his trip to NYC. Each borough – and each area within the boroughs – offers a VERY unique NYC travel experience.
A trip with my dad to NYC would involve Lower Manhattan’s Wall Street, 9-11 Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. And while we’d have to see Times Square, I think he’d much more enjoy the outer boroughs over Manhattan. Like Staten Island’s small-town vibe and the historic Fort Wadsworth. And Brooklyn’s riverfront parks, bagels, pizza, rides and borscht.

7. Father Son FISHING Trip Ideas in CANADA
In Canada, there are SO many awesome wooded rivers, creeks and lakes to throw in a line. Although I’m not really into fishing, the most beautiful spots I’ve read at (while others fished) are in the Rocky Mountains and nearby foothills. On Highway 3 from Lundbreck, Alberta, head west and pick your favorite spot! And then in Northern Ontario, you have tumbling waterfalls over the rocky Canadian Shield. In Thunder Bay, there’s even a spot named Fisherman’s Park!
Now, if you want truly EPIC fishing trips for father and son in Canada, head to one of the coasts. On the west coast, you have popular salmon fishing tours leaving right from Vancouver. Or, head to Prince Rupert in Northern BC for chartered halibut fishing trips. My husband’s gone on one and highly recommends it.
Or, head to Eastern Canada. Prince Edward Island is known for awesome deep-sea fishing tours for tuna. And Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia has lots of salmon fishing tours available.

8. SCOTCH Tour for Father Son Trips in Europe
I highly recommend Scotland for father son trips. Even if you’re only occasional scotch drinkers, the people and land will blow you away. But a warning: after visiting Scotland, your scotch intake will DEFINITELY increase. Coming from one occasional scotch drinker to another!
Scotland is a breathtaking country. Its rugged coastline features castle ruins atop cliffs that plunge into the restless waves below. The interior has luscious rolling hills, broken up by rocky mounds and stone fences. Travel to the islands for more rugged beauty and beaches.
And Scotland is, of course, full of epic stories of war and whisky smuggling. Plus, warm and friendly hosts, aka new friends.
My husband and I drove from Edinburgh to Dufftown to tour Speyside whisky distilleries. Then drove down Loch Ness to Glasgow. We spent the weekend visiting beautiful Islay and taking Islay whisky distillery tours. Unfortunately we didn’t make it up to the northern islands. Or do the famous scenic drive from Durness in the far northwest down to Ullapool. But it would be easy to add these into your road trip with Dad.
A helpful resource for planning your father son trip to Scotland is VisitScotland.com.

9. Father Son or Daughter Trip to IRELAND
After my husband and I drove through Scotland, stopping at EVERY. SINGLE. Distillery he could find, we flew to Belfast. Our road trip in Ireland included the jaw-dropping north shore. Both of Ireland’s incredible cliffs. Crumbling stone walls and crosses. And winding mountain roads near Dublin. Plus, a healthy amount of Irish whisky and Guinness beer. This would make a fantastic father son or daughter trip to Ireland.
The BEST part of our road trip on this island was the food and live entertainment at small-town pubs. Stay in the small towns as much as you can! One evening at the Doolin pub (near the Cliffs of Moher), an elderly woman stood and recited an old lore. It was AWESOME!! Plus, kids would fall asleep on the benches while the band accordion rocked the house. We felt like we were drinking with old friends!
A great spot to stay with Dad in Doolin is the comfortable and classy Fiddle + Bow Hotel.

11. TENNESSEE WHISKEY + Adventure Trip Idea for Father and Son
Or, how about a Tennessee Whiskey trip for father and son or daughter?
If you only have a weekend, like on a Father’s Day trip, you’ll likely want to start in Nashville and make a loop to the distilleries in South Central Tennessee. Nashville has a great scene on its own, with a mixture of bigger names and small craft distillers. But you can’t really do a Tennessee whiskey tour without visiting the world-famous Jack Daniel Distillery, about 1.5 hours south of Nashville. And then you might as well visit the other craft distillers along the way!
To add a little adventure to your Tennessee whiskey tour, head east. East Tennessee includes Chattanooga, Knoxville and Hartford, known for their mountain biking and whitewater rafting. And Gatlinburg, of course, is also a great spot to access Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Add some fishing and camping to your Tennessee whisky trip with Dad!

12. CRAFT BEER Tour for Father Son Trips in USA
I’m pretty sure you can have fun exploring local craft breweries pretty much wherever you go on your trip with Dad. In Canada, I can vouch for Calgary Alberta and Halifax Nova Scotia as rockin’ the craft brewery business!
When you talk epicenters for craft breweries in the United States, it kinda depends on how you define it. California and Vermont have a lot. Portland Oregon has the most in one city. But per capita, you’re looking at Portland Maine, Boulder Colorado and Asheville North Carolina as securing spots 1, 2 and 3 (per Forbes). So, pick a place you’ve never been to and have fun!
If you’d like a little more to go on than that, check out Cool Material’s Top 25 Breweries in USA.
13. Father’s Day Getaway Ideas in CALIFORNIA
An incredible Father’s Day getaway idea in California is Santa Monica Beach. This beach is hopping with fun things to do, including the famous Santa Monica Pier rides, colorful Venice Beach and restaurants, and cycling along The Strand bike path. Compare those muscles at Muscle Beach!

Now, my father son and father daughter trip ideas in California has to include San Francisco. San Francisco California is still on my list of places to visit in the USA, and to go with my dad would be awesome. There are SO many things to do in San Francisco we’d both love!
Here’s what I’d want to do. Alcatraz Island. DEFINITELY. A part of me might be kinda spooked to go, but not with my father! Take in a baseball game at Oracle Park. Stroll Golden Gate Park and NASA’s California Academy of the Sciences. Fort Point National Historic Site from the Civil War. Drive up Twin Peaks lookout. Wander the Sutro Baths ruins from 1896. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. And eat WAY too much seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf.
Find great hotels for trips with Dad in San Francisco.
15. Oahu HAWAII Trips with Dad
For a warm, sunny beach vacation with Dad, you can’t get much better than Oahu Hawaii.
Before my parents met me in Maui, they had a stopover on Oahu. Looking back, I’m disappointed but I didn’t make that stopover with them. Seeing Pearl Harbor would have been a fantastic trip to take with my father. Then, you also have the Island Drive, pineapple plantations and cacao farms, and plenty of pubs and people-watching along Waikiki Beach. ATV Raptor Tour and ziplining through Jurassic Park in Kualoa Ranch. Awesome!
My favorite places to stay with Dad in Oahu are Halekulani and Turtle Bay Resort. Halekulani is a luxury 5-star resort right on Waikiki Beach. I love its live jazz lounge, large lanais and spacious rooms. Turtle Bay Resort is a quieter option on Oahu’s North Shore. It features luscious gardens and pools, two championship golf courses, ocean views from every room, onsite water activities, and surfing beach.
16. Best Father Son Trips to TEXAS USA
Trips with Dad to Texas USA can be pretty much whatever you want. Golf, BBQ and breweries. Incredible historic sites and museums. Camping, boating and fishing. Texas USA has a bit of everything!
Up there on my list for father daughter or father son trip ideas to Texas is Dallas. Dallas has the infamous JFK assassination site, Dallas Cowboys, Perot Museum of Nature and Frontiers of Flight Museum. Get a few fun pics running with the bulls at Pioneer Plaza in downtown Dallas. Pay tribute at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. Then head to Deep Ellem for great food, drink and live entertainment. Hotel Crescent Court is a very cool places to stay with Dad in Uptown Dallas Texas.

18. CANYON Camping and Adventure Trips with Dad
Pretty great Father’s Day trips for fathers and their sons or daughters are the canyons near Las Vegas Nevada. You can easily make a weekend road trip to see the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Antelope Slot Canyon. Check out my 2-Day Canyon Road Trip with easy hikes at the four canyons and awesome places to stay.
I recommend going to Grand Canyon North Rim because it’s much more peaceful compared to the crowds at South Rim. Grand Canyon North Rim has a great lodge and campground, and is absolutely beautiful. But there are few experiences you only get at South Rim. A helicopter tour, the Skywalk experience, and sheer cliffs. North Rim is more rugged, with lots of valleys and lookouts with near-360 views. But note that it’s hard to see the Colorado River below.
