I recently took a hiking trip with Explorer Chick, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, I felt supported by the guides, the company, and my fellow participants. The pre-trip communication was thorough and helpful, the logistics were seamless, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned. The entire experience flowed smoothly, allowing me to focus on enjoying the adventure, building confidence on the trail, and connecting with an amazing group of women. The guides were knowledgeable, encouraging, and always available when needed. I highly recommend Explorer Chick to both new hikers and seasoned trail mommas. Whether you're looking for your first hiking adventure or your next great challenge, you'll be in excellent hands!

Just got back from the 8 day Utah National Parks Trip. I highly recommend Explorer Chicks for your next adventure especially if you need other active people to travel with as I did. Our guides Laura and Kaylin were amazing! Laura had an enourmous amount of local knowledge about Utah's flora, fauna, and geology that we all loved hearing about. She took amazing landscape photos that truly captured it's beauty. Kaylin was always super supportive and encouraging. She was constantly taking group and individual photos to make sure everyone got a great record of the hikes. The trips are well planned and well executed with so much food! Due to weather issues, we had to modify our itinerary and our guides were in constant contact with the main office to adjust our plans. Book now.

I had an amazing adventure spending 11 days in South Africa with Explorer Chick! The guide Christina was super knowledgeable about the area and made sure everyone was having a good time. I loved exploring the different cities and getting to experience the safari, seeing so many animals! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a new adventure!

I just returned from the Shenandoah trip with guides Brooke and Heather with a full heart, humbled mind, and memories to cherish. The guides were so wonderful and set the tone for girl power all weekend. All of the hikes gave beautiful views and time to bond amongst the group. I highly recommend Explorer Chicks to any woman looking for group hiking.

This was my third trip with Explorer Chick and the Zion/Bryce Canyon trip was epic. Each hike explored different landscapes and was better than the last, ending with the Narrows and a surprise charcuterie board. Our guides, Nicole and Heather were amazing, teaching us about the area and fueling us with the best trail lunches, the sandwiches were unreal! From the moment we all met, both guides had infectious energy that had us all laughing like old friends.I hope to have them as guides on a future trip, they really made an amazing experience!
