MY FIRST TRIP EVER WITH EXPLORER CHICKS!!! I don’t know where to begin! The Utah 8 day 5 Park trip was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. From meeting with our guides Laura & Kaylin in the morning of Day 1 right up until they dropped me off at the airport on Day 8 these 2 incredible women took care of me ! From the food , driving, lodging, hikes and everything in between these women are the absolute best! I couldn’t have completed Arches without them getting me through the fins and supporting me every step of the way! They got me through Little Wildhorse Canyon with ease. These women deserve an award for their courage, dedication and determination to help us all push past any challenges that might have come up. I loved every minute of this trip! I will be going on another trip with Explorer Chick as soon as I can find some time off in my schedule! If you are looking for something where you are safe, taken care of and an adventure check out Explorer Chick ! Explorer Chick Adventure Co. I think we all had the time of our lives! At the end of the day, it’s not the mountains we climbed that matter most, but the people who helped us reach the top. Laura, Kaylin & all the women on the trip are those people for me. Much gratitude 🙏 Nikki Rineholt

My first trip with Explorer Chicks to Zion and Bryce was everything I could’ve hoped for! Our guides Mary and Lauren were exceptional! They were extremely knowledgeable, very kind and continued to make our journey easy and enjoyable throughout. They made sure that our whole group was not rushing so we could really be present and experience all the beauty around us. Plus the planning of the trip was flawless from start to finish. I made connections with amazing women and I can’t wait until my next trip with Explorer Chicks!!

I did the Red River Gorge backpacking trip and had the best time. Our guide, Kathryn, truly knew her stuff and was well prepared, so I felt totally safe. It poured rain the entire time and I still had a blast! Learned a ton too. I highly recommend this trip!

My trip was to Zion and Bryce Canyon. OMG, what a great adventure. Our guides, Mary and Brooke were so awesome. This was my second Explorer Chick Trip, and it's the only way to go, for me. The company takes care of everything, all I had to do was Show Up!!It really doesn't get any better than this. If you're thinking about taking a trip with these gals, don't hesitate. You will be impressed, I surely am. Sharon Eder

My 4-day Zion and Bryce Canyon trip with Explorer Chick was over-the-top amazing. Each day brought a new adventure, made even better by our fabulous guides, Mary and Brooke. They were awesome! Fun, encouraging, and super invested in making sure we all had a great experience. (I mean, who carries a watermelon and cutting board on a trail climbing 1,100 feet in two miles just to surprise us with a special lunch treat?!?) I signed up for the promise of fun, adventure, and a sense of empowerment, and this trip delivered on all three. An unexpected bonus was getting to know 11 other incredible women spanning nearly 40 years in age. We started out as strangers, but four days of laughter, encouragement, and cheering each other on turned into a joyous celebration of sisterhood. It was such a cool reminder that friendship and adventure have no age limit. This was my second trip with Explorer Chick and I'm already dreaming of where I want to go next. I’d absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun adventure with a great group of women. Both my experiences have been exceptional.

My 2nd trip with Explorer Chick did not disappoint! Zion and Bryce Canyon trip was stellar! Mary and Brooke took great care of 10 of us crazy chick's, ensuring every need was met and always maintained safety at every activity. I honestly don't think anyone was ever less than happy, from singing at the top of our lungs in the canyon (acoustics were great) to enjoying lunch overlooking Bryce Canyon and all of the fun goofy conversations. This trip was fantastic, our guides were the icing on the cake. Well done!

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!

A week in Croatia was just enough to give us a taste of how awesome the country is! Had a blast with e-biking, truffle hunting, meandering through tiny medieval villages, drinking wine, laughing, bonding, hiking, swimming, boating, pasta making... seriously the list goes on and on. So many amazing experiences that aren't on the usual trip list! It was my first group tour and I was nervous, for sure. I loved that I could just relax and go with the day, knowing I didn't have to handle logistics or worry about the weather messing up our plans - which is usually my responsibility as the family trip planner. Majda was our lovely, local guide and she did a great job wrangling us all! :) Laura ROCKED as our EC guide; 100% will take another trip with her!! She's a fabulous mix of fun, quirky, crazy, calming and empathetic, with this enormous heart that just wrapped us all up and made the trip exceptional. As with every trip I've ever taken, it's the people that make the difference. And this group had some of the bestest!! :) Best 50th birthday celebration ever!!
