I am a mom of two boys and in my forties, looking for an adventure to enjoy activities that I love on/in the water. I found my way to my first Explorer Chick trip to Belize with Christina Bruno and local guide Wilson. I had the time of my life! The organization by EC was very smooth! My flight in arrived a bit late but I found my guides patiently waiting. All the activities were high quality and safe. They were not all "easy" but pitched at the right level to feel a sense of accomplishment. For Belize, the highlights were the ATM caves, rappelling down a waterfall, and all the kayaking (even in a storm!) and snorkeling (day and night). Thank you so much Christina and Wilson for a wonderful time!! This is one unforgettable trip for me!

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!

12/2025 update: This time I did the Belize trip! It was absolutely wonderful! Christina did an amazing job with the group and our local guides Wilson and Siri were so knowledgeable! Would still highly recommend Explorer Chick and would recommend the Belize trip!

This was my first explorer chick trip and it was absolutely incredible. Went on this trip with guide, Christina Bruno, and local guide Wilson. They were both incredible guides - so knowledgeable, organized, friendly, and curated a supportive and empowering environment. I had a fantastic vacation, where I was able to push myself to do things out of my comfort zone with the support of the group and my guides. I can’t wait to go on more of these 😊
