I went on the Jungle and Island Belize Adventure. The trip was well worth it with so many exciting activities in the jungle and the sea. The group leaders were superb!
This was my first trip with Explorer Chicks and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience! Our guides - Christina and Kirstie - were the kindest and most patient guides. They thought of everything down to every last detail. It was so well organized and I was blown away with the trip; I’m already wanting to plan my next one. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience! I’m forever grateful.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! Our trip leaders (AKA "Trail Moms") Kirstie and Christina, went above and beyond. Arches and Canyonlands were stunning backdrops for great, scenic hikes in the company of incredible women from around the country.
It was better than I could have hoped for and I'm SO glad Kirstie and Christina were our phenomenal guides (the meals, surprises, prepped for anything at all times, and their mixture of calm and joy made it all just THAT much better). I'd 100% go again.
Can’t say enough about my explorer chick experience to Utah. 10/10, a must do, sign up today . As an added bonus- best leaders ever Kirstie and Christina!
This was an incredible trip from start to finish. I knew the scenery in Utah would be stunning, but I didn't expect to be so impressed with the care the guides put into the experience. Kirstie and Christina covered every base and walked the perfect line between keeping us comfortable and giving us challenges. If I could give 10 stars, I would!
I have now taken two trips with Explorer Chicks and have another coming up in August. Most recently I participated in the Moab multi-sport and had such an incredible experience. Each EC trip is carefully curated without missing a single detail. From the travel itself, the ample food and snacks, the logistics and fun add ins, our guides were so knowledgeable about the parks and geography, even the pickiest guest on our trip was vocally very satisfied. The condo accommodations were wonderful and very clean; did I mention the food? The guides packed lunches for us to eat on the hikes and they were WONDERFUL...and a healthy breakfast each AM at the condos were delightful!

I often look for solo trips with like-minded women and guides, Explorer Chick delivers every time. My only word to the wise is to pay attention to the physical requirements of each trip as if you are unable to meet the physical requirements, it can hurt the experience for others. That was not the case on this trip, the hikes and experiences were thoroughly enjoyed by all (Level-2) and the canyoneering and ATV-ing were absolutely wonderful and our group enjoyed every minute of these experiences on our trip. I can't wait until my next EC trip!!!
