Small Group Size

There is no better way to explore the world and connect with like-minded women than with small group travel. Our average group size is between 8-15 women. Keeping our groups small offers you a more authentic and personal experience.

Friendship & Camaraderie

AdventureWomen is more than a travel company. It’s a relationship company founded to invite women to build new connections with the world, themselves, and other like-minded women through travel. Our carefully crafted journeys aren’t just trips to destinations, they’re active explorations full of empowering discoveries. There is nothing like discovering a new destination in the company of other active, inquisitive, and fun women.
Our average guest ranges from 45-70 years old, and most of our new guests come on a trip as solo travelers. Although they are traveling solo, many leave with new friends and travel buddies.
