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 🫶🏼

Those are some MAGICAL words✨

For Krista—and I’m sure many of us can relate—Yosemite wasn’t just another trip.

It was a soul-deep journey packed with growth, vulnerability, love, and a sisterhood she didn’t even know she needed 💗

The kind of adventure that leaves you feeling empowered, inspired, and totally transformed.

Krista, we’re obsessed with you! Thanks for sharing your story and fueling the fire for all of us at Explorer Chick 🥰

If Krista has convinced you to finally book that trip with us, comment “inspired” and I’ll send you over a link with all of our available trips 🫶🏼

In Her Words

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!!

Maegan H.

I can not recommend Explorer Chick enough! I did the Zion and Bryce Canyon trip and it was beyond amazing! The details of every single thing is planned out and so thoughtful. The guides are amazing - Mary and Kirstie are the best! So genuine and down to Earth. So thoughtful and considerate! They really went out of their way to make the trip special for each of us. The food was amazing and very accommodating for every person. Sleeping arrangements were perfect. The adventures were just a dream! The bond with every single woman on the trip including the guides was beyond special. Everything was seriously a dream. I am still on cloud 9 from my trip and can't wait to do another trip with Explorer Chick!

Jennifer B.

What an amazing opportunity to gather women together to build confidence and strength. We started out as complete strangers and built trust and friendships. Our group had some that were frequent hikers to novice hikers. I am the novice. This group helped all to meet their goals. Our guides, Hannah and Katie are skilled in their knowledge of the outdoors and hiking. What I wasn’t expecting is they are skilled in listening and providing a new perspective to life and living.

Young J.

It was my first trip with Explorer Chick. I honestly didn't have much expectation, but this trip blew my mind regarding the group travel with strangers! Kirstie and Christina made it so special and it was nice to have someone taking care of the group of women who always on the moves taking care of their own people.
I didn't expect to have such good quality food and packed lunches on our hiking trip. Everything was so well organized and planned perfectly! Kirstie and Christina took great care of 10 women on our UT trip. They were the Yin and Yang perfect dynamic duo and I would love to do future Explore Chick trips with them again! One thing I felt bad for them was they had another group coming in the right next day of our trip didn't have time to recuperate at all. They had to drop us at the airport and hotel for the rest of the group then grocery shop for the next trip after 8pm!!
All in all, what a wonderful trip! I would definitely come back again and can't wait for the next adventure! Nice job Explore Chick!!!

I recently got back from the Belize Jungle & Island Glamping Adventure Tour with Explorer Chicks. I can't say enough amazing things about this trip, our guide, and the company that planned it. They send you so much information to prepare you, including a detailed itinerary, packing lists, suggested gear, etc. From the moment our guide, Katie, picked me up from the airport I felt safe and well taken care of. I am wife and a mom of two. I spend my days taking care of everyone else and this trip was so special because someone took care of me the entire time. I never had to worry about where we were going, how we were getting there, or what we were doing next. It was an amazing brain break for this busy lady! I loved being challenged with new activities like caving, rappelling and zip-lining in the jungle. The snorkeling was unbelievable and Belizean line-fishing was a blast. Accommodations in all 3 places were comfortable and clean. One of the most unexpected parts of the trip was learning so much about the culture, food, animals and landscape of Belize. Thank you so much to Katie and Explorer Chicks for providing me with a trip of a lifetime!

Holley H.

Kirstie and Christina or as I have named them Kirstina. This was my first Explorer Chick trip and they have set the bar very high for my next trip. Everything was so well orchestrated in regards to timing, what to have in your pack, to meals, snacks, There were moments of my own personal self doubt that they talked me through. They met each woman where they needed to be met in regards to their needs. And they are hysterically funny. I cannot recommend this duo enough. Thanks ladies! You are my heroes.

Lana E.

I have been wanting to venture out of my comfort zone and have a story to remember and tell others about. Deciding to jump in with Explorer Chicks and head to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon is a game changer. I have never taken a trip like this before, especially one so adventurous. Leaving all arrangements up to EC and the guides is just the beginning. My trips guides, Katie K. and Mary C.M. were are the best! From the first encounter to the last hugs, these two ladies made me feel welcomed and ready to take on any challenge. I always felt supported, encouraged and safe during my adventure. They lead by example and were emotional available and venerable with the rest of us. Every morning outside their tents, they provided us a coffee bar. Also, we NEVER stopped for gas, only bathroom and snack breaks. How is that possible unless these ladies were working throughout the nights as fun fairies! Our group of ladies varied in age from low 40's to 70. During our adventures, Katie and Mary sandwiched us between them and no one felt left behind. Our accommodations were spiffy and the food delicious. I ate better (healthier and flavorful) on trail than I do in my own home. Explorer Chicks has my vote and I encourage all ladies wanting to step out a little or a lot... sign up! You are worth it, you are enough!
