Tours By Women For Women

AdventureWomen was the very first company to offer adventure travel vacations, just for women, founded in 1982 by travel pioneer Susan Eckert. In 2016, Judi Wineland and her two daughters, Nicole and Erica, purchased the company, ensuring the spirit of AdventureWomen continues forward. In 1978, Judi was one of the first women to launch and run an adventure travel company, Overseas Adventure Travel. She later founded Thomson Safaris and subsequently created Thomson Treks, Thomson Family Adventures, and Thomson Collection. Judi, her daughters, her expert staff, and a worldwide team of expert travel guides ensure that AdventureWomen remains at the forefront of women’s adventure travel.

Absolutely! We happily welcome all women, as long as you are physically capable of doing the activities on your chosen trip. Our guests range from 18-85+! It is important to us to talk to each guest to make sure each woman chooses the right trip for her physical ability and interest.

Because women from any culture relish the freedom to experience new things away from limiting, societal expectations. We have a unique sense of discovery, an unabashed curiosity, the easy ability to laugh at ourselves, and the capacity to create a non-competitive environment of support and encouragement for each other. Under these circumstances, women feel free to challenge themselves with a trek up a mountain, learning to snorkel or scuba dive, or immersion in an unfamiliar culture. On an all-women’s trip, women tell us that they can be totally and unequivocally themselves.

Yes! Whether you are celebrating a personal milestone with family or looking for a custom itinerary for your hiking club or your other small friend group, AdventureWomen can work with you to create a private trip to meet your specific schedule and interests. You’ll get the same attention to detail and access to one-of-a-kind activities, the best guides, and enriching cultural experiences that we’ve been known for for over 40 years. Getting started is as easy as giving us a call at 800-804-8686.

Adventure travel blends the awe-inspiring sensations of exploring the world with the exhilaration of embracing the outdoors. Our trips weave the history, wildlife, culture — and local cuisine – of a destination around a range of activities. We believe that adventure travel is a state of mind, an approach to travel, and a way of seeing the world. Adventure travel, by its definition, requires that travelers be self-sufficient, flexible, accepting of situations as they exist, and open to other cultures, traditions, and experiences.
