Sisterhood. Adventures. SHEnanigans.

How can a person rate or review what finding a little bit peace and clarity is like?I have had the pleasure of being on two EC trips since October 2024.My first trip was in October of 2024 to Moab with guides Katie and Nikki.That trip changed my life.It is my belief that everyone signing up for an EC trip is searching for something. It just happens to be a little different for everyone.I happened to be searching for me.Who would have guessed that I would find her in the quiet and in the beauty of Utah with a group of strangers.That trip reminded me that I am not just a wife, and momma. It helped me to filter out most of the crap floating around in my head and just focus on me for a few days.My second trip with EC was in September of this year with Christina and Nikki in Yosemite.Christina and Nikki, were the perfect guides for that trip, they were just what I needed. (shoutout to Nikki for being on my last trip and remembering that I love to eat PB sammies on white bread while I hike!)Yosemite with all of the women on that trip was an experience I will never forget, because I almost didn’t go.But I am so glad that I did.I needed all of it, the adventure, the laughs, the beauty, and the opportunity to feel a little more like myself.Pressing pause on home life and getting out of your comfort zone takes some courage, but with the help of EC and some absolute kick ass women I did it and so can you.Thank you, EC, for helping me find a little more of myself of these amazing trips.Quincy

This was my second trip with Explore Chicks and I loved both adventures. Lauren, our EC guide, and Dina, owner of Mountain Shepherd Survival School, were both spectacular - knowledgeable and fun! The other eight women on the trip were also so much fun! Everything was throughly and impeccably organized.Looking forward to my next trip!

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!! 😊

I went to Jordon this fall with a small group of explorer chicks. What an absolute treat! My best trip ever. Learning the history of the region was mind blowing. People we met were welcoming and kind. And, in true EC fashion, we had so many wonderful adventures with our terrific guides, Kara and the local “chick”, Ahlam. From hiking up the beautiful Wadi Rum & floating down on our backs, looking up the rust colored canyon walls to the blue sky peeking out, pinching myself to remind me that I’m half way around the world with truly fabulous women….to meeting shepherds and Bedouin babes on our hike to Petra to eating under the stars, the most delicious food that I tried to emulate in my own home kitchen (didn’t hit like the original)….. the camel ride, sleeping under stars, Dead Sea soak…and sooo much more. Waking up in the Dana reserve to watch a shepherd lead his flock into the steep canyon basin was a treat, quietly reminding me that we truly don’t need much but wonderful experiences that leave memories of magical places and time. And, that my friends, is what this travel group provides.

Amazing trip to Va !!! Lauren led us on an epic journey through the day and night. We learned so much at the MountainShepard Adventure School. Looking forward to hiking with my new tools.

Let me begin by saying, I was always looking at these trips but did not believe I was outdoorsy enough to do them. My sister and friend pulled the trigger for the Iceland trip and so I followed suit. Truly the best decision ever! This was a bucket list trip that I will never forget. I did things that made me realize I am outdoorsy, I met new people that I truly hope I stay in touch with forever and see again on future trips, and learned just how much the explorer chick company cares. Our guide, Christina Bruno, set the stage from the beginning as this trip is for us-- the travelers -- and it truly turns into what you make of it. She was helpful, organized, prepared to help in any situation, and also wanted to get to know us and feel valued throughout the trip. The trip is life changing and the people that make these trips happen are amazing. Thank you Christina for all your organization and sharing about Explorer Chick. Thanks for your positivity, encouragement, and laughter! Thank you to all of the ladies on my trip as well! I felt seen, empowered, and will never forget the laughs! Hopefully future trips are in store for me!

I am a single woman with the desire to travel. I feel a bit intimidated going alone. I had my eye on Explorer Chicks for a couple of years and finally committed to a trip; just returned from Alaska. All the ladies were down-to-earth, funny and kind. The guides made me feel safe and took us to places that were well off the beaten path, not tourist-y. I am on my way to becoming a world traveler, having booked another trip with them this fall. You will have so much fun!

Had an incredible experience hiking in Moab and Arches National Park. The guides handled everything and took great care of us.

Just book the trip!!! This was my second international trip with Explorer Chicks...ICELAND! Iceland is amazing and everyone should go to see...every foot is a postcard view! As usual, Ex Chicks managed all the details and provided an excellent experience with the time we had! We saw many of the elements of the Golden Circle and explored hidden gems as well! All I have to say, is book the trip...all Explorer Chick trips are on my agenda!!

Jayne and Steph were wonderful guides. They had so much knowledge and a great sense of humor! I was reluctant to go on this trip since it was my first real hike and it was a challenging one. The guides and other woman on the trip were all super supportive and I had a great time. The Bryce Canyon Hoodoos was at the top of my list, but it was all beautiful!

Iceland adventure was AMAZING! Our guide, Kara was so attentive to all of our needs throughout the trip. I am so happy I chose the travel with Explorer Chick and can’t wait to pick another trip!

I just returned from the Red River Gorge trip in Kentucky. Lauren Beatty was our fantastic guide. I learned a lot and had a blast. I highly recommend and will be booking another trip soon!

Recently did a trip to Iceland with my mom - it did not disappoint! In fact, exceeded my expectations. Our explorer chick guide, Jayme, and local Icelandic guide, Dayne, were awesome! They went the extra mile in every way - from making us feel comfortable to squeezing out every bit of experience we could get. Highly recommend!

I had a blast hiking the VA Triple Crown with the Chicks and our wonderful guide, Savannah!

Epic adventure in Maine with outstanding guides Mary and Kirstie! Don’t hesitate, you will absolutely love everything about your trip!
