In her Words

Lisa B.Lisa B. ★★★★★ If you prefer to work really hard and spend lots of time and energy planning a trip and dealing with the headache of navigating, finding good places to eat and fun things to do all on your own then this is not for you. Now if you prefer to show up and have amazing people guide you and cover every detail so you don't have to and love every minute of it, then this is definitely for you! As a solo traveler I was warmly welcomed (with a margarita!), met some amazing women and had the adventure of a lifetime. It would not have been possible without our brilliant guides Lauren & Amanda on the Smoky Mountain Boots & Roots Hiking Trip. This being my first time I would not hesitate to book another trip. Amazing experience!!Dawn Julian M.Dawn Julian M. ★★★★★ I just got back from the Moab/Arches trip, and wow, what a fantastic adventure! Kayla and Jess were incredible, making every moment super enjoyable. It was such a treat to just relax and soak in the experience without worrying about the details. I’m definitely booking with Explorer Chick again!Kitty F.Kitty F. ★★★★★ 2 day 1 night - Red River Gorge, with the best group ever! Thank you so much Jody, wonderful, knowledgeable, guide. As well as a big thank you to the amazing group of "chicks". Thank you!carrie P.carrie P. ★★★★★ Amazing trip!!! Lauren and Amanda were fantastic, so patient. Accomodations and food perfect....Already looking for another trip!lisa B.lisa B. ★★★★★ Our Las Vegas weekend was amazing! Our guide Kara led us through our adventures like a pro! Rock climbing, amazing dinners, kayaking and overnight camping . She listened to our requests and worked with our needs. We had so much fun and made new friends - A+Deanna F.Deanna F. ★★★★★ What a fantastic trip! Kirstie and Hannah made everything perfect, from changing our itinerary due to weather, to making delicious lunches, snacks when needed, and taking us to experience some amazing places! I would highly recommend joining these ladies, but only if you want to have an adventure to remember! I already have another trip booked! 🙌🥾Lisa H.Lisa H. ★★★★★ Had the best time ever!! Got to do things I never would have dreamed of and accomplished things that I'm very proud of. Our guide Kirstie was fantastic, as was our Islandic guide/driver. Everything was planned out and taken care of so that all we (the 12 Explorer Chicks on this trip) had to think about was the next fun activity or the next great meal. I would SOOOO do another adventure with Explorer Chicks and recommend to anyone that has the desire to do something possibly out of their comfort zone. This gave me the confidence to tackle more things in the future like this.Lauren R.Lauren R. ★★★★★ I'm not sure there are any words to truly describe what an incredible experience I've just returned from in Iceland I had previously done a few local events with Explorer Chick, but this was my first big trip with them. I would give this 10 stars if I could! I can't believe all of the things that we fit into 1 week. Memories to last a lifetime.. ice climbing on a glacier, incredible waterfalls, driving ATVS on a black sand beach, hot springs, a beautiful and challenging hike. So many things! It was SO incredible to just show up and have everything else planned and taken care of for me. Our guide, Kirstie Mullikin, was top-notch! She went far out of her way to ensure that every single one of us had a wonderful experience. She made sure that I, with the culinary sophistication of a 5-year old, did not go hungry! This trip far exceeded any expectations I had. Looking forward to my next trip with Explorer Chick!Dr Deb S.Dr Deb S. ★★★★★ What a great experience! The trip location (Iceland) was phenomenal and the guide (Kirstie!) was the best guide one could imagine! I will travel again with Explorer Chicks, in a heartbeat an hopefully get Kirstie as guide again!! The group of ladies on this trip were diverse in their backgrounds, experience, and age but they were all out there enjoying the experience! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!Amanda C.Amanda C. ★★★★★ Great experience!Casey W.Casey W. ★★★★★ Savannah was a fantastic guide, and the rest of the women on our trip were great too! I was most concerned about the group dynamic as a more introverted hiker, but the atmosphere was perfect! Hoping for trips to Washington national parks in the future.Monika M.Monika M. ★★★★★ I explored Arches and Canyonlands National parks solo with 6 other women and two fabulous guides, Katie and Kayla with EC. I felt immediately comfortable with our group and found it very rewarding and retreat like. We hiked, we kareoked, we laughed, and did the challenging things, it was so worth it. This company makes great lady adventures and you don’t have to lift a finger just your feet. You will not regret this trip. Loved it.PJ A.PJ A. ★★★★★ Challenging adventures full of laughter. Great leadership, thank you Lauren, and opportunities for new friendships. Meals and accommodations were perfect.Lisa J.Lisa J. ★★★★★ Went on the Alaskan adventure with Nicole B and Kayla L as our spectacular guides!! Everything was jam packed-n-top notch adventure fun. Starting off with an exhilarating hike to a few glacial lakes, to ice climbing and sea kayaking. All the event guides we encountered were superb as well. We hiked some more, saw the copper mines and many different cities, a little history, a little dart throwing and dinner. Went to the fish hatchery, saw some sea lions and learned how the salmon is bred to be the best in Alaska. The guide prepared food was excellent every detail was well thought and appreciated and I felt safe the entire trip. Would definitely go on another EC adventure again! LisaSara C.Sara C. ★★★★★ El fin del Mundo - the W Trek defies words.I joined the Patagonia W Trek in December 2023. It was the first vacation I had ever booked more than a year in advance, but as soon as Explorer Chick announced the destination and showed the pictures at a launch party in 2022, I knew I had to go.This was my first international trip with Explorer Chick, as well as my first longer trip. I was highly impressed both by the Explorer Chick guide, Christina, as well as the local guide they contracted with. My understanding is that wherever possible when hiring a local guide, they hire a woman, which I appreciate. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, organized, and supportive. We had briefings each afternoon or evening on what the next day had in store, and I learned so much about the geology and the flora and fauna.The Refugios they reserve for eating and sleeping, whether you're sleeping in a dorm room or a tent, are nice, and I was pleasantly surprised by the food.I trained for this trip and was glad I did. While you don't ever have to deal with altitude, there are some pretty intense elevation gains and the wind can add an extra element of strenuousness. This trip has the potential to test your limits, but the reward is amazing. I will never forget it.js_loader
