5 Epic Girls Getaway Destinations

Hiking in Zion and Bryce Canyon

1 Hiking in Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks

Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks provide a unique yet adventurous getaway for the perfect girls weekend. Slot canyons and hoodoos dot the surrounding scenery,  transforming this rugged Utah national park into an alien planet.

Aka the perfect setting to get up to some SHE-nanigans!

For the more adventurous girl squad, these majestic parks provide great spots for canyoneering and rappelling in the more remote areas. Our four-day Hiking + Glamping trip not only provides guidance for these more challenging hiking trails, but also treats you to a glamping experience like no other after a long days’ trek. This is an epic girls getaway to remember!

2 City Living in San Francisco

San Francisco is a no-brainer among the best girls trip destinations for a city weekend getaway. Fantastic restaurants, walking tours, boutique shopping, and of course, the iconic golden gate bridge are all welcoming attractions and sights. 🤩

For an extended vacation, Napa Valley is a short one-hour drive from San Fran. Think:  manicured golf course, scenic trails for horseback riding, and of course, wine tasting rooms—there are fun things for every member of your girl squad.

3 Viva Las Vegas

Las Vegas is another great option for your next girls weekend away. This vibrant city features its iconic strip centrally located to all the amenities your girl crew could want. Play tourist in sin city with a visit to Bourbon Street, or try your luck at the casinos located in any number of the luxury hotels. Most are within walking distance of each other.

If the party scene is more your squad’s thing, Encore Beach Club at the Wynn features a rooftop pool with a swim up bar, often showcasing celebrity DJs to keep the party going.

But if you’re looking for a real adventure—like a dirt-under-your-nails kind of adventure—then getting outside of the strip is essential. Las Vegas has a surprisingly diverse landscape that provides tons of opportunity for play. Think: kayaking, climbing, hiking, hot springs…

4 Have a grand adventure in Slovenia

Looking for a real escape? It’s time you hit up Slovenia!

Swap the nightlife in Nevada Las Vegas for European charm with Slovenia’s jaw-dropping mountain scenescapes, iconic Lake Bled, great restaurants, and quaint little towns. Explorer Chick will guide your girl gang through the Julian Alps, while taking in the best of Slovenian wine country, with our Hiking Hut to Hut package.

5 Go on a cruise in Baja

Sun, surf, and white sand beaches make Baja one of the best girls trip ideas. Despite easy access from San Diego and Santa Fe Springs, this charming island peninsula feels like an entire world away.

Stroll the streets while taking in beautiful Mexican art galleries, or party it up with live music on the local bar scene—the choice is yours! The Baja Brewing Company rooftop bar is a must-visit, providing patrons a gorgeous bird’s eye view of incoming cruise ships through the peninsula, and lush mountain terrain. Stomach growling?

Local food trucks featuring fresh seafood will leave your taste buds wanting more.

Tips to Plan an EPIC girls trip

  • The music city of New Orleans, the east coast of Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, bougie Key West, or the quaint, sandy shores of Rhode Island—where to stay is always the question. Be it a boutique hotel or a grand hotel, research amenities prior to booking. Be it spa treatments, or a fitness center for the workout buff in your group, keep everybody happy by ensuring your temporary stay has all the comforts of home.
  • Basing your accommodation around must-see sights while on your trip, ensures attractions are just a short walk away.
