I just got back from Croatia and the entire trip was a 10/10 experience. Everything was planned to a T and it was nice to experience international travel with guides handling the details. It’s a great way to really indulge in the cultural experience. A lovely, unexpected surprise was all the cats I got to pet! As a crazy cat mom, this made my day! I met the greatest group of ladies whom many will be lifelong friends and hopefully a travel buddy for another trip. Our guide, Laura, was certainly a highlight of the experience! It wouldn’t have been possible without all her efforts. She captured so many great moments through pictures, including my first Via Ferrata experience! Additionally, she made the trip feel very safe even during some unnerving moments. She was very attentive to all our needs and adapted to each of our requests based on comfortability throughout all adventures. Thank you Laura and Explorer Chick for an unforgettable, life changing experience on so many different levels. This was the first trip I never experienced home sickness. Croatia was definitely the first of many trips with you all 🙂

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 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!

South Africa. I will be smiling for a long time. It was a true adventure that pushed me out of my comfort zone a few times and I am grateful for that. The animals and the people of S. Africa are beautiful. All of the women that were on the adventure with me were fun and I enjoyed being with them. Like minded, intelligent and supportive. I cannot say enough about our guide Christina. She went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. Always smiling, and you could see her love for Africa. Hummm...Where to next with EC!
