I just got back from my first Explorer Chick trip to South Africa! It was amazing. Christina Bruno was the most accommodating guide and made sure everyone was taken care of. I would highly recommend booking the trip!

Explorer Chicks does such a great job at organizing amazing trips - they plan everything, all you need to do is show up. They pick the best hotels, food, activities, and the guides are so lovely. Traveling with them is a great way to explore places you want to go, meet other women, and have the best mix of activities to enjoy. Highly recommend booking your next trip with them!

Had a great trip to Moab (Arches and Cayonland NPS) with Explorer Chicks. Led by Kirstie and Jeannie, we had a great 4 days of hiking. A group of 7 women was perfect for this trip. Everything was taken care of while on the trip (food, snacks, room, driving). Jeannie was an excellent chef for the group. So many delicious meals after the long days. They knew the best places to go, the trail routes, and were able to accommodate all abilities in the group.

I took a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains with Heather and Kaylin from Explorer Chick. They were amazing guides. Their food was absolutely delicious. What I loved the most were the facts that they knew about the Smokies! If they didn’t know something, they returned every night to research it and share with they learned.

I loved my Fall weekend in Shenandoah with our guides, Kara and Katie, and our great group of women. Explorer Chick thinks of everything; I just had to show up and enjoy! From the hikes to the lodges and all of our time spent together, I will remember this weekend forever. I’m glad I stepped outside of my comfort zone with the Explorer Chicks!

I went to Moab in Sept 2026 and it was my first experience with Explorer Chicks and WOW I WAS BLOWN AWAY! My friend and I went to celebrate her birthday + the fact that she just beat cancer and her and I came home filled with the most joyful tears and how a group of total strangers could make us, and her feel SO special and loved. Kirstie went SO COMPLETELY above and beyond for absolutely every little detail. She made accommodations for EVERYONE and somehow still tailored the trip to us as individuals even though we were a group of almost 10. The food was incredible too, I was not expecting all the snacks and amazing home cooked meals. Ashley was also so incredibly sweet and helpful and encouraging. I was absolutely terrified to rappel but they both made me feel so safe and confident and I’m so proud of myself for doing it and it’s honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I just got home today but have already bragged about my experience on IG and to everyone I’ve talked to so far. I will absolutely be sending more women y'all's way. This company was incredible, but Kirstie and Ashley really made the trip a dream come true for us ❤️ brb going to go book my next trip with them!
