Christine H.
Just spent 4 days in Moab ringing in the New Year! What an incredible experience. The guides were amazing, knowledgeable, generous and fun. The group was great - felt comfortable right away and enjoyed our dynamic. This was my second EC adventure and both times were so well done. A true quality experience. Loved the beauty, the food, and the challenge.
Alex P.
I have done 2 trips with Explorer Chicks and have enjoyed them both immensely. The guides are very knowledgeable, progressional, encouraging, and overall great leaders.
Pauline W.
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!
Sierra W.
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!
Sandra T.
I had an amazing experience in Belize with Christina! The whole trip was planned perfectly and was a great adventure. I can’t wait for my next Explorer Chick trip!
Christine H.
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 😊
Stephanie G.
12/2025 Oh Africa!
I just returned from the Uganda trip of a lifetime. Such an amazing experience. Too much to say about it but I enjoyed the whole trip!!
Lisa H.
Had a truly amazing and awe inspiring trip to Patagonia. All details were taken care of all the time. We never had to worry about anything. Great group of women, fantastic guides and beautiful and challenging adventures each day.
Ashley L.
Best trip ever!!!! Everything ran smoothly and it was so much fun. Our guides, Christina and Wilson, were truly the best. Highly recommend if you are able to book a trip with them. It was a great combination of adventure and relaxation. The food was amazing also. If you are thinking about going on the trip, DO IT!!!!!
Heather M.
Obsessed with this company now. I’ve been a solo traveler for the past 8 years and finally decided to sign up for a group trip. It far exceeded my expectations and didn’t have that “touristy” feel that typically comes with bookings through tour agencies. The women I traveled and adventured in Belize with were amazing, our Explorer Chick guide Christina B was fantastic and so supportive and inclusive, our local guide Wilson was amazing and so knowledgeable, informative, and passionate about everything nature in Belize. If you’re on the fence about booking a trip, DO IT. I just booked the Croatia one and I’m not even home from Belize yet lol easy doesn’t change you 💜
Vanessa O.
I have been on two Explorer Chick vacations. Both with Kirstie and Kara as guides. Had a wonderful time on both. Highly recommend for anyone looking to connect with nature in a way that feels empowering and connecting to other women who enjoy nature as well.
Bernadette J.
Had a FABULOUS first trip with Explorer Chick in the Smoky Mountains in late Oct/early Nov. I'm new to hiking and was nervous about my ability to handle mountain trails and about my limited knowledge of camping/glamping. EC took care of everything, and I had an amazing experience! The pre-trip guidance was helpful because I didn't know where to start in terms of packing or preparing. Once we were on-site, our guides, Christina & Savannah, were the BEST!! Knowledgeable, supportive, energetic and great fun to be with. They handled every detail of the trip with great poise and expertise, and instilled confidence and built camaraderie in our rambunctious group of women! The hikes were spectacular (the fall foliage was a wonderful bonus), the pottery class was a blast, and learning about the history and ecology of the Smoky Mountains along the way was rewarding. Food was delicious and nourishing (TY Christina & Savannah!!) and the accommodations were clean & comfortable. Best of all, that rambunctious group of smart, funny, supportive and adventurous women are now friends. Looking forward to my next adventure with Explorer Chick!!
Paige L.
I went on the Zion/Bryce trip with guides Katie and Kayla. My word, they took such great care of us and the entire trip led to a lifetime of memories. We went in mid-October and unfortunately the weather turned quite stormy, so our itinerary got shifted around a good bit. Our guides did a marvelous job at keeping spirits high while also prioritizing safety. Since getting back home I have recommended Explorer Chick to anyone who will listen!
Laura M.
I used Explorer Chick for the first time in October for a hiking trip to Jordan. Everything was handled very professionally from the initial contact to book the trip to the end of the trip. Our guides were extremely knowledgable, fun and organized. The front office is very organized, as well. I am using Explorer Chick again for Red Rock hiking next year.
Ashley D.
Had an amazing time with friends old and new and made memories that will last a lifetime. Explorer Chick guides think of everything. We had great accommodations, lots of delicious food. Turned out better than I could have imagined.
