I have done 3 trips through Explorer Chick and each one has been wonderful in different ways. I am a working mom of 2 young boys and the amount of planning and decision making I do on a daily basis is overwhelming. To have a full trip completely planned for me - including meals, activities and even what to pack - is absolutely AMAZING. Through each trip, I had opportunities to challenge myself with activities that I would never do on my own. I was able to explore areas that have been on my bucket list for years. And the best part of each trip was the friendship, camaraderie and connection with the other women. I have met such beautiful and strong women through these adventures and I am honored to be a part of these journeys.
WOW! What an amazing experience and such spectacular guides (Christina and Kirsty). I did Bryce and Zion and would 100% recommend. It was challenging, fun, inspirational, and community-driven. I went on my own and left empowered and with a new group of friends. The experience was perfect and would not change a thing. Thank you!
I had a great time on my first Explorer Chick trip! We went on the great Smokies boots and roots trip and had a blast. The hikes were fun (the first a satisfying challenge) and beautiful! Our guide, Kara, was awesome at providing us with delicious food, great guidance and leadership on our hikes and fun extra adventures throughout the weekend! I can’t wait to plan another trip 🙂
Epic adventure with Explorer Chick! Zion & Bryce Canyon experience blew me away—The Narrows, canyoneering, rappelling, and hiking with stunning views at every turn. Christina and Kirstie were phenomenal guides—fun, supportive, ready to pack our day with optimal adventures. The meals and snacks were beyond expectations. Our group was completely satisfied in every way, left with no regrets, and checked off several bucket list experiences. The whole trip left me feeling strong and inspired. Can’t wait to pick the next adventure trip with Explorer Chick!
My recent Zion & Bryce trip was my 3rd Explorer Chick trip. It was another great experience that I won't forget. The parks are amazing and the cayoneering was my favorite. Christina and Kirstie are the dynamic duo with so much experience, energy, and full of fun. They were so attentive and supportive and went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome experience. Highly recommend!!
I can not recommend Explorer Chick enough! I did the Zion and Bryce Canyon trip and it was beyond amazing! The details of every single thing is planned out and so thoughtful. The guides are amazing - Mary and Kirstie are the best! So genuine and down to Earth. So thoughtful and considerate! They really went out of their way to make the trip special for each of us. The food was amazing and very accommodating for every person. Sleeping arrangements were perfect. The adventures were just a dream! The bond with every single woman on the trip including the guides was beyond special. Everything was seriously a dream. I am still on cloud 9 from my trip and can't wait to do another trip with Explorer Chick!
