Explorer Chick, Emily, joined us on our Machu Picchu Multisport Adventure and had nothing but love for her time with us. Sure, the Andes are breathtaking, but she swears the real magic was sharing the journey with an incredible crew of women.

Bring along your bestie, sister, mom, or grandma – we’re all about the memories, no matter who you bring!

And if you have an experience like Corrine and Jennifer did, we’ve hit the mark 🥳

Corrine and Jennifer, an awesome sister duo, joined us in Belize last year and loved it so much they came back to explore Yosemite with us this September!

I could go on about how incredible this Yosemite tour is, but Jennifer sums it up perfectly: “What’s really amazing is how much of Yosemite you see on this trip... you get the full experience.”

And she’s right. This trip truly is the full Yosemite experience.

From hiking iconic trails like Sentinel Dome, Mist Trail, and The Cathedral Lakes Trail (to name a few) to relaxing by the clear, lush waters of Tenaya Lake – if you’re not already drooling over this trip, it might be time for a check-up! 🥾🤩

Huge thanks to Corrine and Jennifer for joining us again. Your energy lights up every adventure 🫶🏼

In Her Words

Arlene A.

I am still flying high from my backpacking trip in Yosemite lead by the very capable Ashley B. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly and according to plan. I would love to see more strictly backcountry backpacking trips - this was a great experience.

Kristen T.

Where do I begin? It was all fabulous! From the guides, to the women I met, to the adventures, to the food, to the accommodations explorer chick has got it down! I joined in the 4 day adventure to Yosemite and it was perfect. With having 3 young kids the 4 day trip was the perfect time that I needed. I loved the balance of this trip. Challenging and exciting, yet you get to sleep in a comfy bed at night. Perfect!

Rachel H.

Just got back from the 4-day Yosemite Hiking Trip. The trip was incredible. The hikes on the Sentinel Loop, The Must Trail, Cathedral Lakes, and Mariposa Grove were challenging, but rewarding with beautiful outlook views, waterfalls, and glacier lakes. The trails took us to different areas of the park, and we were able to experience several areas in Yosemite. Our guides Kayla and Savannah were excellent - organized, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Definitely recommend this trip!

Janice G.

The Dolomite’s were something out of a movie. We had an amazing group of women and two very special guides. Savannah from Explorer Chicks and Karin from Italy. Both were kind, patient, and so knowledgeable. Savannah knows how to bring a group together and have fun. She brings the best out in you. Thank you both so much for making this an incredible trip.

Norice R.

We had a wonderful eight day trip to beautiful Iceland seeing many wonderful places. I highly recommend this trip and our amazing guide Christina. Christina was professional, friendly, caring and full of facts and adventures. The food was wonderful also. As with previous EC trips, I would score this trip a 100/100!! 😊

Deb A.

Our second Explorer Chick trip. Christina is a fabulous guide. A fantastic group of fellow travelers. Great mix of adventure and touring. Go for it!

Rachel J.

Amazing experience on the Shenandoah Hiking, Winery & Sunsets trip led by expert (and fun!) guides Brooke & Savannah! Will book another hiking experience.

Leslie F.

June 2025 Croatia. Best trip ever. Varied activities, challenging yet doable. Great guides, helpful and organized.

Mary C

My trip to Moab was stellar! Accommodations, activities and food were all excellent. I saw the beautiful landscape as advertised, but I actually received something even better- the bond of new friendships. Our guides Mary and Stephanie facilitated the whole trip like the pros they are. I can hardly wait for my next outing with Explorer Chicks!💕

Sierra W.

Explorer Chick was absolutely phenomenal! I recently completed their Yosemite National Park Half Dome Backpacking trip and had an incredible experience. My guide, Kirstie, was beyond amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the park, its history, and the surrounding area. Her enthusiasm and passion for the outdoors were contagious, making the trip even more enjoyable. Kirstie was also very approachable, making it easy to ask questions and feel comfortable in the group. I was impressed by her attention to detail, ensuring that everything was well-planned and executed. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend booking a trip with Explorer Chick!

6/2025 update: Did another trip, still incredible! All the guides are so kind - Lauren and Kara were wonderful on this trip to the Great Smoky Mountains!

Jill K.

I have done 3 trips through Explorer Chick and each one has been wonderful in different ways. I am a working mom of 2 young boys and the amount of planning and decision making I do on a daily basis is overwhelming. To have a full trip completely planned for me - including meals, activities and even what to pack - is absolutely AMAZING. Through each trip, I had opportunities to challenge myself with activities that I would never do on my own. I was able to explore areas that have been on my bucket list for years. And the best part of each trip was the friendship, camaraderie and connection with the other women. I have met such beautiful and strong women through these adventures and I am honored to be a part of these journeys.

Ana Maria M.

WOW! What an amazing experience and such spectacular guides (Christina and Kirsty). I did Bryce and Zion and would 100% recommend. It was challenging, fun, inspirational, and community-driven. I went on my own and left empowered and with a new group of friends. The experience was perfect and would not change a thing. Thank you!

Laura H.

I had a great time on my first Explorer Chick trip! We went on the great Smokies boots and roots trip and had a blast. The hikes were fun (the first a satisfying challenge) and beautiful! Our guide, Kara, was awesome at providing us with delicious food, great guidance and leadership on our hikes and fun extra adventures throughout the weekend! I can’t wait to plan another trip :)

DeAnna B.

Epic adventure with Explorer Chick! Zion & Bryce Canyon experience blew me away—The Narrows, canyoneering, rappelling, and hiking with stunning views at every turn. Christina and Kirstie were phenomenal guides—fun, supportive, ready to pack our day with optimal adventures. The meals and snacks were beyond expectations. Our group was completely satisfied in every way, left with no regrets, and checked off several bucket list experiences. The whole trip left me feeling strong and inspired. Can’t wait to pick the next adventure trip with Explorer Chick!

Nancy M.

My recent Zion & Bryce trip was my 3rd Explorer Chick trip. It was another great experience that I won't forget. The parks are amazing and the cayoneering was my favorite. Christina and Kirstie are the dynamic duo with so much experience, energy, and full of fun. They were so attentive and supportive and went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome experience. Highly recommend!!
