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 have been on several trips with EC, the most recent being to South Africa with Christina. The trip was amazing! Christina is an expert at making the trip feel seamless. She handled all the details and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. Navigating physical limitations, injuries, dietary restrictions, uncooperative weather, and the occasional cranky lady, Christina took great care of us all!

From the moment I was greeted by our guide till we sadly ended the trip, I was in a state and pure joy and amazement. Explorer Chick not only takes care of the details, but does it in style- the food, the lodging and the activities! My guide Christina led me around South Africa all while instructing on the region and animals. She was relaxed and fun but always had her eye on my experience and safety. In South Africa, I hiked, biked, and interacted with penguins, sharks, giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants, leopards and so many more!

What an incredible trip with Explorer Chicks! Our Yellowstone adventure was truly unforgettable, and so much of that was thanks to our fabulous guides, Kirstie and Marla. Their attention to detail was exceptional. They seemed to think of absolutely everything and went above and beyond to make sure every single person in the group felt included, comfortable, and had a wonderful time. The trip was packed with amazing experiences — beautiful hikes, soaking in the hot springs, a picnic surrounded by the spectacular scenery of Yellowstone, and some incredible wildlife spotting. We saw bison, elk, osprey feeding their young, and one of the absolute highlights was seeing a pack of wolves! The scenery was breathtaking, the itinerary was fantastic, and Kirstie and Marla made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and incredibly well organized. I came away with wonderful memories and would highly recommend Explorer Chicks to anyone looking for an adventure with great people, amazing experiences, and guides who genuinely care about making your trip special.

Highly recommend the Maine and Acadia Hiking Coastal Adventure with Guides Laura T and Marla M! The trip was well organized and Laura & Marla were attentive to travelers' needs. Not only would I go on another EC trip, I would want them as my guides!

I love these trips. I just returned from an Explorer Chick trip to Maine--hiking, sea kayaking, a trip to the Campobello Roosevelt part in Canada. Lots of laughter, challenges, good food, and many new memories. We glamped for four nights and stayed in beautiful rooms in the Campobello historic site. Laura and Marla were fantastic guides--gave us information on rocks, fed us, make sure we were taken care of and cared about us. I was reminded once again why I keep signing up for new trips with this company.

Went with EC to Banff and it was incredible! Our guide Lauren B. was a great leader and a friend. She created fun little moments on the trip and also worked her booty off. I hope I get the chance to be on one of her trips again!

Explorer chick This was my first trip with Explorer Chicks and it was wonderful from start to finish. I did the four day Yellowstone level 2 trip. The guides Heather and Mary made a good trip an amazing experience. The wildlife tour was amazing and the views out of this world. Loved the cute lunches and especially the lunch with bison experience. The thoughtfulness and attention that went into each experience was great and I felt so comfortable traveling with other wonderful and empowering women. Mary An absolute wealth of knowledge and female empowerment. She was encouraging and kind through gross downpours and motivating during tough hikes. Mary was thoughtful and could answer so many questions about the area which greatly enhanced the experiences. I loved that the hot springs and cold pool was part of the trip it rejuvenated my sore muscles. Heather Such a kind, thoughtful and funny woman whose enthusiasm for learning made the trip all the better. She was great when monitoring progress during hikes and supporting times when people were having challenging moments. She validated hardship especially when it came to elevation and clearly has a love of nature and female empowerment.

Just returned from Alaska with Explorer Chick. This was my 5th trip through this organization and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. These women go above and beyond to provide such a fabulous experience every time. I love that I don't have to plan anything - I just show up! The guides always share exactly what you need, what to wear, and provide all the snacks possible. The guides are the *trip moms* you didn't know you needed :) It is amazing to sign up for once-in-a-lifetime trips knowing you don't have to be responsible or worry about any part of it. I have always wanted to travel to Alaska but didn't feel confident enough doing it on my own. Thanks to Explorer Chick, I was able to hike, travel from Anchorage to McCarthy to Valdez, enjoy a private bush plane, ice climb, explore ice caves and have a private sea kayaking experience in the Prince William Sound. None of this would have been possible on my own or through an Alaskan cruise. If you need a sign to book a trip with Explorer Chick - this is it!

I had THE most amazing trip to Yellowstone with Mary and Heather. The trip was the perfect life reset, and I can't imagine a better way to spend the long weekend than with a group of badass women hiking through Yellowstone. Mary and Heather were the absolute best guides; they knew more about the park than humanly possible and were so kind and approachable. I can't wait to book my next trip with Explorer Chick!!!
