Who are our Sisters?

Well, we’re you! We value old friendships but love making new ones. We’re intellectually curious and love a unique adventure to parts unknown. We might be single, divorced, widowed, or simply have a partner who doesn’t want to travel. Most of all, we’re kind, compassionate women who look forward to cultural immersion, exclusive adventures, lots of laughs , and the magic of Sisterhood.

We at Sisterhood Travels would LOVE to have you join us on any of our incredible, hand-curated tours specifically designed for solo female travel. No ho-hum cookie-cutter trips for our Sisters! With Sisterhood Travels, you’re part of exclusive women-only travel groups, ensuring you’re never alone…unless you prefer little independence from time to time. 85% of our Sisters travel solo in our exclusive groups, many of whom ask us to match them to a roommate!

Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list so that we can keep you posted on what women’s tours we have coming up.

If you’d like to get to know our Sisters, join our Sisterhood Travels private group on Facebook ! You’ll find lots of great information and camaraderie about our group travel for women!

All you need to know about Women-Only tours

What are the benefits of traveling on a women's only tour.

There are dozens of benefits from connecting with other women and forming friendships, to traveling with greater ease, confidence, and support. Many women feel free to be themselves and simply have more fun when traveling on women only vacations. And forget about being the third wheel! Many solo women travelers prefer trips for women only, as it’s easier to meet like-minded women, share rooms, and avoid single supplements.

How do I plan a solo trip as a woman?

The easiest way to plan a solo trip as a woman is to first pick out your dream destinations and travel goals. Check out the women-only tours offered by our sister brand Insight Vacations. Then, all you have to do is book your favorite women-only trip, pick your flights, pack a bag, and you’re on your way to exploring the world with a bunch of incredible women.

What are the best solo travel destinations for women?

There are dozens of destinations around the world that make for great solo trips for women. Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Norway and Sweden consistently rank as some of the world’s safest countries for solo women travelers, while our women-only trips take you to more amazing destinations like the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Egypt… The hardest part is choosing just one trip.

What to pack for a women's only travel adventure?

Every woman’s packing list will be different, but the essentials remain the same. Always bring versatile, comfortable clothing, including a sarong or scarf for extra warmth or when modest dress is appropriate. Other essentials include a small first aid kit and refillable bottles for toiletries. You should also bring security items like a lock for your luggage and portable chargers, so you’re never stuck with a dead battery on your devices.

Don’t want to travel alone travel with women’s groups and explore the world..

If you’re a woman who’s seeking to experience everything the world has to offer, then you’re in the right place!

After all, you’re a trailblazer — a pioneer. You’re our kind of people.

While everyone else is answering emails and checking mundane tasks off of their to-do list, you can be found daydreaming about your next glorious hike, snorkeling with magical wildlife, or stargazing in the desert sky.

You’re a travel enthusiast. It’s in your nature to keep moving. Keep meeting new people. Keep discovering new things.

We know you because we are you. And at Canyon Calling, we have an insatiable desire to explore every corner of the world, just like you do.

But let’s face it… It can feel impossible to find friends and family who have the same passion for adventure — not to mention the time and income.

And traveling alone as a woman sounds lonely and — let’s be real — kind of scary.

We get it! That’s exactly why we do what we do. We design thrilling adventures for women so you can hike, kayak, zipline, white water raft, and more around the globe. By touring in groups of like-minded women, you’re able to travel the world safely and confidently.

What makes Canyon Calling’s women’s travel groups so special?

We’re not a typical travel company… For us, it’s all about empowering women as we design fun, active vacations. And there are a lot of reasons women choose to return to Canyon Calling and book tours with us time after time. Here are some of their favorite reasons:

Our tours are female-only

Well, first of all, there are no men. The point of all-female travel isn’t to exclude men, but sometimes a break from the dudes feels right. In our groups of just women, you’ll feel free to completely be yourself. You’ll be surrounded by nurturing, encouraging females who want to see you succeed.

So as you’re trying out white water rafting for the first time, you’ll feel lifted up and confident — not self-conscious. The company of women is good for our souls. Whether you’re partnered, retired, divorced, or simply looking for a vacation for women only, we have a tour for you!

We travel in small groups of women

This ensures that every member of the group feels connected to each other and cared for by our Trip Leaders. Plus, when we’re in a small group, it’s much easier for us to get around and experience the most unique aspects of each destination.

We foster  connection

When women travel together, something magical happens. We inherently start to open up and trust each other. As we explore unfamiliar locales and try new things together, our guards come down.

We have each other’s backs. We share our stories with one another. We laugh until we cry. And we bond into a tight tribe. You’ll begin the trip surrounded by strangers, but you’ll end it with friendships that last a lifetime.

Our tours are affordable

To empower more women to explore the world, we’re proud to deliver quality vacations at a very reasonable price. We believe every woman should have the opportunity to discover herself through travel — and that’s why we offer  affordable, all-inclusive pricing.

We’re committed to planning every detail of your trip with heart, soul, and intentionality.

You deserve a wonder-filled and memorable adventure. And we’re passionate about delivering exactly that! Our vacations are:

  • Multi-activity —  So you can experience many different elements of your destination.
  • Active —  You’ll be able to keep up if you’re moderately fit (we define that as able to walk 5 miles in one day on uneven terrain).
  • Delicious —  You won’t find any fast food on our tours… We’re foodies, and we’re here to help you experience authentic local cuisine, savor wine around the world, and visit craft breweries!
  • Clean and comfortable —  Our accommodations are hand-picked for cleanliness, comfort, location, and uniqueness.

And if you’re looking for a more  relaxing  adventure, we have something for you, too. We offer softer tours that are focused more on a leisurely pace, food and wine experiences, upscale lodging, spa activities, and milder outdoor activities.

Canyon Calling has been empowering women for over two decades.

And each one of them holds a special place in our hearts. Here’s what some of them had to say:

Words cannot begin to describe what the last ten days have been for me. The energy and expertise you put into every aspect of the trip allowed me to let go and just be. The camaraderie of the women, the chance NOT to be in charge while at the same time completely trusting the hands of whom I write, all while laughing till my sides burst – well my soul is FULL!
I went on this journey to discover the beauty of the Rockies, only to discover something greater … the beauty, strength and courage of women supporting women! What a great service we do for ourselves when we shed our armor of everyday life to pursue adventure and self-growth. It was a thrill to be reminded here in the Rockies, that confidence plus goofy fun is the BEST medicine in life.
Please accept my thanks, gratitude and enthusiastic recommendation for the Utah trip. I couldn’t have done it without you! The five National Parks were jaw-droppingly beautiful, each in its own way, and the drive through Grand Staircase Escalante was amazing. Our small group of mighty women made for excellent company. The accommodations and dining choices were terrific. Our driver was safe and tireless, narrating the sites and sharing knowledge of the area. Each guest was made to feel welcome and important. I look forward to joining you on another tour soon, and I hope to bring my sisters along.
My spirit expands every year that I travel with you. You work tremendously hard to make these trips possible. Not many people can say they have found, and are good at, their life’s calling.
I treasure my Canyon Calling experiences. You have taken me awesome places. Your endless efforts to put together fun activities that teach me something about myself while I enjoy the challenge of the moment, make you special and your trips a joy.

10 Adventure Travel Groups for Women

Ranging from hardcore outdoor adventures to luxe glamping-style getaways, these trips have a no-guys-allowed policy.

Lila Harron Battis is a freelance writer and editor. She was previously a senior editor at Travel + Leisure .

Girls just want to have fun — in the wilderness, that is. That's the idea behind these travel groups for women and nonbinary adventurers. Whether you're a thrill seeker keen to kayak some rapids or a wellness enthusiast more interested in practicing your yoga poses in the serene outdoors, there's a female-focused trip or retreat for you.

With the guidance of these adventure tour operators, you can learn a new skill, conquer a physical challenge, explore new surroundings, and meet some amazing people along the way. So buckle your helmet for a days-long cycling trip or strap into your harness to take on a scenic climbing route with a supportive group.

Adventures in Good Company

This tour company specializes in small-group expeditions in more than 100 destinations on every continent except Antarctica. Adventures include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, camping on the Sea of Cortez, and kayaking in Greenland. Trips are categorized by activity level, on a scale of one to five, ranging from gentle activities for beginners to itineraries for the very fit. Adventures in Good Company welcomes all women — including trans women — and nonbinary people "who identify with the women’s community."

AdventureWomen

Operating since 1982, this trusted female-focused group leads hikes through the Himalayan Mountains, transports travelers to the Galápagos Islands by private yacht, and facilitates multisport adventures in the Canadian Rockies, among some 60 other options. You might opt to go alone and meet new friends or treat your mom to one of its mother-daughter trips . Tours range from moderate to active, high-energy, and challenging.

Balanced Rock

Balanced Rock hosts groups of women in Yosemite National Park. These trips lean less toward the adventurous and more toward the spiritual, "inspir[ing] healing and wellness through yoga, hiking, Ayurveda, creative expression, and community." The nonprofit runs a variety of programs throughout the year, including annual Women of Color retreats. Trips are for "any individual who self-identifies as trans, woman, nonbinary, intersex, two-spirit, and/or genderqueer."

Damesly trips — ranging from Cuba to Bhutan, Uzbekistan, the Grand Canyon, and beyond — cater to "creative and professional women" between 30 and 65, though any woman 21 or older can join. Offerings include high-energy adventures and self-discovery workshops alike. The groups are kept small (12 maximum), making for an intimate experience. And you can bet this women-owned business supports as many females as possible along the way.

Explorer Chick

Explorer Chick 's trips include hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, and sometimes even whiskey tours, glamping, or survival workshops. Destinations range from Uganda to Patagonia to Croatia, among many others. Women of all ages are welcome as long as they're physically capable of the itinerary. The only demographics this group discriminates against are "mean girls" and "Debbie Downers."

Fit & Fly

Instructor-led daily workouts anchor Fit & Fly retreats to sunshiny locales like Bali, Morocco, and Mexico City (also Iceland — not so sunshiny). Fitness opportunities might include a surf lesson, a glacier hike, or yoga in the desert. Accommodations are high-end and comfortable — ideal for post-workout recovery — and time outside of "class" often involves good food and spa treatments.

REI Women's Adventures

The outdoor retailer REI invites any traveler who identifies as a woman on adventures in U.S. national parks and beyond. Choose between backpacking in Joshua Tree, kayaking in the San Juan Islands, camping in Bryce Canyon, section hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and more. You won't need a passport for any of them. Activity levels for said trips range from two ("easy active") to five ("strenuous"). One major selling point of an REI Women's Adventure ? Members get a discounted price.

Buena Vista Images/Getty Images

WHOA Travel

The concept of WHOA is apparent in the name: "Women High On Adventure." These itineraries are for women who want to climb mountains. This is your chance to hike to great heights in Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand, to ice climb a volcano in Iceland, or to scale a trio of peaks in Ecuador. Tours are also offered in Patagonia, Antarctica, Peru, and more. Some trips, billed as WHOA Plus, are just for "curvy" or plus-sized women.

Wild Women Expeditions

This Canada-based tour operator welcomes wild women "of all ages, sexual orientations, and identities" on trips in every corner of the world. Adventures might include taking a dinghy to see Greenland's glaciers up close, horseback riding in Mongolia, or sailing the Nile River in Egypt. Wild Women Expeditions has hosted girls and women from eight to 86 in more than 30 countries and on every continent.

Intrepid Travel Women's Expeditions

Intrepid Travel is the biggest adventure travel company — and one of the most eco-conscious, earning the reputable B Corporation certification for its social and environmental efforts. It isn't totally women-focused, but it does host a number of women-only adventures to Jordan, Pakistan, India, Morocco, and beyond. These trips are specifically designed to create immersive, hands-on experiences such as traditional weaving in Morocco's Amejgag village and cooking with Tibetan refugees in Nepal. On these expeditions, visitors get the chance to support female employment opportunities and women-owned businesses.

Have a look at the highlight videos of some of our trips:

Surf Getaways

As the name of this women travel company indicates, Surf Getaways is an Australian-based company offering surf holidays in various locations around the world.

Founded by a surf instructor with years of experience teaching at a fixed surf school and a surf lover, the company now offers getaways where both newbies and experienced surfers can enjoy a sports-holiday with lots of vitamin C.

Tours are for all levels and some of them allow non-surfing companions to join too.

+Small group, premium and unique experiences all about surfing with very experienced teachers.

-Trip geared towards surfing and less appealing for non-surfers. Destinations are still very Asia-Pacific focused.

Well-established Condé Nast is the publisher of several popular magazines among which Vogue, GQ and Condé Nast Traveler. They also launched a high-end line of women-only tours called Women Who Travel for women traveling together to appreciate the finer things in life.

These tours have a food and cultural focus and are organized by El Camino , curated by the Condé Nast Editors who also run a podcast on female travel and a large Facebook group.

Almost all tours include lots of evening music and dancing, cooking classes and real exposure to the local culture. There is also a trip photographer to take all those candid shots.

El Camino tours are quite different from the majority of other tour companies. They are bold and immersive in the real sense of the word. They feature artists in all areas, from food to crafts to music, and none of the usual touring. No checklist, no museums, no monuments.

+Small group, premium and unique experiences that are just not easy to find on your own. Installment plan. Lots of food and drinks, music and art. In-house photographer taking shots for you.

-Prices are on the high-end of the scale, in fact these are the most expensive of the trips on this list averaging about $300-$600 per day.

Woander Tours

women's travel tour groups

Woander Tours is a great option for when you want to explore on a guided tour, on your own. They offer self-guided audio tours in cities like Edinburgh and Dublin, and give you the tools you need to explore your destination by yourself, but never alone.

In taking one of these tours, you will connect with your destination through the stories you’ll hear, the places you will see, and the people you will meet along the way.

These tours are carefully created to give you a local, unique and authentic experience; they work with local historians, small business owners, guides and travel bloggers to create the best possible itineraries.

The best part? You are in control of your own experience. They simply guide you to their favourite spots, landmarks and hidden gems at your destination. Each tour comes with a printable PDF-guide with directions as well as the audio.

+Connect with local people and experiences, and support local economies. No need to travel with a group or guide if you want to explore on your own time.

-There are limited destinations right now, so we look forward to more guides being released soon. Make sure you remain conscious of your surroundings with headphones in.

Purposeful Nomad

Purposeful Nomad focuses on what the name indicates, making sure that their trips have a positive impact, as they say “responsible, rewarding, safe, sustainable and ethical travel for women, by women”.

Their focus is on women-only, intimate and small group trips that go deeper and do not focus on the main tourist sites but on responsible tourism. Instead, you will learn something new like how to shear an alpaca or cook using traditional methods.

Days are spent at farms, beaches or at local foundations and charities fighting for women’s rights; there are yoga sessions and slow days by the sea. The emphasis of Purposeful Nomad is on slow travel.

+Get exposed to (mostly) women-owned charities and organisations from around the world and relax with lots of free time to simply take it all in. The purpose is to return recharged.

-Experiences tend to shy away from major tourist sites (not bad per se) and may not cover the key tourist attractions. Prices are on the high side.

WanderTours

Started, and almost always led, by Beth in 2008 as a means for her to take other women on some of the places she loves, WanderTours offers a small list of tours for women only (with some exceptions) that feel more like a group of friends getting together than a group tour company.

Beth encourages future guests to friend her on Facebook and get to know her better to decide if they would enjoy going on a trip.

She also hosts the She’s Bold Podcast , in which she shares stories of extraordinary women who inspire in many areas like travel, music, fitness, and more.

+The only women’s adventure travel company that organizes trips to Papua New Guinea giving you a unique opportunity (if pricey). Cozy and friendly, as if you were traveling with a friend.

-On the pricey side but this also includes a portion of the cost devoted to a local charity that usually works with women or children. Group tours are a bit larger than others (up to 16 guests).

Adventures in Good Company

Founded in 1999 by Marian Marbury, Adventures in Good Company focuses on adventure travel for women with emphasis on women of all ages.

Their trips have an outdoor focus and involve various level of activity depending on your choice. There is hiking across Greenland or the villages of Cinque Terre, kayaking in the sea, exploration in the Amazon or multi-sport trips with a bit of everything. Birders can marvel at Guyana and seafarers can sail in Turkey.

Because of the focus on nature, Adventures in Good Company has a strong responsible tourism charter and follows the leave no trace principles. Traveling slowly and being a fully remote team also helps contribute to sustainable travel.

In 2020 Kelly Kimple assumed ownership of the company, bringing fresh energy and a commitment to the vision and philosophy of guiding on which Adventures in Good Company was founded.

+A true outdoor tour company giving you the unique chance to explore the world on foot. Long years of experience. Wide portfolio of trips in the US. Clear audience of older women.

-The website feels a bit 2000s and is clunky and time consuming to navigate and filter due to the amount of trips (calendar view works best). Very US-focused in audience.

The Girls’ Guide to Paris

Founded by Doni, an American living in France, primarily with a focus on the country, The Girls’ Guide to Paris now offers 50+ different trips to destinations around the world with a touch of luxury, a welcome glass of champagne and a default no sharing policy.

You will find holidays ideal for mature women like wine trips, writing retreats, artist-themed itineraries and a wide range of destinations and curated trips to satisfy any craving. All solo travel female packages are mid to high end and prices are offered per room, but you can get a discount if you book with a friend.

Special SFT perk: Mention you heard about them from us and you will receive $100 OFF from any booking.

+Very strong culture, food & wine focus with a long tradition and track record delivering fabulous experiences for mature women.

-Trips are on the expensive side since the positioning is high end. No option for pairing guests to save on accommodation.

Damesly goes beyond typical group tours and focuses on travel, writing and photography workshops and trips of self-discovery where there are elements of coaching, mentorship and business brought together to help you find clarity or direction.

The company is the travel arm of Go Girl Guides and Women’s Travel Fest and has a strong bond in the creative community appealing to women who may work in the field, although open to everyone.

Trips are mid to high end and have a focus on culture and beautiful sites. Destinations are photogenic and perfect for those who love to photograph.

+Like-minded creative community of women with similar passion means you will be among your own. Workshop trips have a skill-building element. Reasonably priced for the mid-high end range of accommodations.

-Prices are on the high side. Guides are most likely foreign and not local. While guests are female, the businesses supported are often not.

WHOA – Women High on Adventure

WHOA is a boutique adventure-focused women travel company founded by Allison and Danielle in 2013 to offer active holidays such as hiking to Everest Base Camp or Kilimanjaro with a sustainable and responsible twist.

Their trips put travelers in touch with local women to facilitate cultural interaction and they are all about empowerment. The company works with small local female-owned businesses instead of bigger ones.

WHOA is all about inclusion and has even launched trips for plus sized women. As they put it “WHOA women find comfort in the uncomfortable. We bask in the sun and dirt. Never afraid to break a nail, a sweat or a stereotype. Adventure is an outlook and it’s how we choose to live.”

There are two types of trips on offer, adventures and expeditions and WHOA can also organise your own private group trip. The majority of the trips have a maximum of 12 to 18 participants.

+Fun and unapologetic with a strong responsible and sustainable tourism focus and women empowerment.

– Small tour company so limited list of tours and all very hardcore active (except for the Oktoberfest which may be tougher on the liver than the legs!). Some trips can be quite large (18 pax for Kilimanjaro). Although guests are female, guides aren’t always female or local.

Wild Women Expeditions

Wild Women Expeditions has been around for over 30 years and focuses on adventure and active trips for women of all ages.

They have wide portfolio of trips to many countries in the world all under the same active common denominator. They also have yoga retreats and safari expeditions.

As they put it “We encourage you to let go and get wild! We value freedom of expression and want to give you the space to maybe see yourself in a new light, outside of your regular responsibilities and everyday roles.”

Wild Women Expeditions also organises private trips for groups and has a couple of trips for teenage girls.

The company focuses on being in the moment so all trips start with a discussion on photography and videography and recommends guests to be in the moment and void constant social media updates. Likewise, they encourage participants not to bring drones.

+Experienced women’s tour company. Wide portfolio with several departures for some of the trips means it is easier to find the right one for you. 7-day risk free cancellation policy and the ability to pay in instalments.

-Slow and clunky website that makes it hard and time-consuming to search and compare. If you are someone who likes to document everything or take lots of photography and videography you may find the trip philosophy to be against it.

The Women’s Travel Group

The Women’s Travel Group was established in 1992 and has a portfolio of women trips that usually include more than one country and cater to an older demographic interested in having a more in-depth conversation about the culture, the politics and the history of a place. As its President, Phyllis Stoller, put it to us, “Our guides are for smart women who bring complicated questions.”

You will find some of the popular destinations as well as more unusual ones like Albania, Georgia or Madagascar.

Accommodation tends to be on the higher end and meals better than average. Emphasis is on culture and food and the itinerary is closed. No shopping stops and no free time. Prices are mostly all inclusive and there are no surprises or hidden costs.

Phyllis continues, “We often have a speaker who talks about the dark side of a country. For example, a human rights worker in Chile under Pinochet; an economic development expert in Albania; a Fistula Doctor in Ethiopia. We like controversy to get the group to talk.”

+More in-depth conversation to truly get under the skin of a place, unique to The Women’s Travel Group. No extras that aren’t included. Packed itinerary gets a lot in.

-Closed itinerary means you need to love the whole (or you can skip some parts). The website is a bit clunky; Information is hard to locate and compare so it might be best to reach out to them directly for the trips you are interested in.

AdventureWomen

Founded in 1982, AdventureWomen runs one of the oldest female travel group trips with a focus on adventure travel for women over the age of 35 who want to step outside of their comfort zone and challenge themselves.

The company was purchased by the current owner Judi Wineland and her two daughters in 2016, and today runs trips to 65 countries. As the company says, they are not a travel company but a relationship one.

In an interview Wineland says, “We’re kind of a tribe of sorts, seeking other like-minded spirits to share our adventures with. So, if you want to make travel experiences really transformational  for  women, it’s probably best if women are driving the ship.”

AdventureWomen has one of the widest portfolios of destinations and a strong and well-established track-record with a guide-ambassador combo per trip, surveys and research into female travel and lots more.

Like most other women travel groups in this list the company is female-owned and works with female-owned businesses. AdventureWomen also organizes private trips for your female group.

+Company with long experience in the industry. Huge array of destinations and a focus on community and relationship.

-Prices are very high for some of the trips considering they are for shared accommodations. Age restriction is both a plus and a minus and you should expect a higher age representation.

Explorer Chick

Explorer Chick is another a female adventure travel company for women traveling together to conquer new heights, and we mean that literally as well as figuratively.

They shy away from luxury and premium tours and instead focus on getting you back in nature and staying in the purest accommodations; tents, yurts and huts.

As they say “We promise hysterical laughing, unladylike behavior, strings of cuss words, and happy exhaustive fatigue on all of our adventures”. Or, as the founder puts it, “we would do cool shit in cool places with cool chicks!”

I think you get the gist of the company’s philosohy!

Besides organizing women only adventure tours, Explorer Chick also offer day trips and long weekend getaways within the US which consist of adventures and hiking trips across the country. They can also organize private departures for any of their advertised tours where men are welcome to join.

+Strong focus on having fun and little tolerance for moaners and complainers who will be removed from the trips.

-Shorter trips are on the expensive side. Dietary needs may not be catered for (in which case you may have to bring your own food). No instalment plans.

Sights and Soul Travel

Sights and Soul Travel is a women travel package company that specializes in high-end women travel tours which include premium experiences and activities, wine and food and upscale hotels and hit the traditional tourist sites.

Expect wine tasting, spas, wellness elements and fine dining built into a more traditional and cultural trip.

Tours have a lot of activities and a packed itinerary so you will get to cover a lot. Because of the type of trip, they are appealing to mother-daughter getaways and the company states that their average guest is above the age of 55.

+Huge array of destinations with a more traditional travel style: buses, cities and main sites. Most of the trips are almost all inclusive.

-The itineraries are packed which can be a Pro and a Con. Prices are on the high-end for a shared accommodation. Groups can be a bit larger than other companies (up to 16 guests)

Femscape Sojourns

Femscape Sojourns was founded in 2018 and is a boutique mother-daughter small group travel company that organizes trips based on the traveler’s age. There are trips for women in their 20s and 30s and for women over 40. The company also has specific mother-daughter trips.

Founded by Tami and Latifah, Femscape Sojourns wants to empower women in the places they visit so they work and support local women-owned businesses. The idea is that travelers preferences change with age and that is why trips are tailored to various age groups.

In keeping with that, the mother-daughter duo escort the group in their age range.

+Small groups of 6-12 women. Unique mother-daughter trips for bonding. Cozy and personalised, hosted by the owners. Some trips have a free day you can customise.

-As the company is relatively new, the range of trips is very limited to Barcelona and Morocco.

Fit & Fly

Fit & Fly takes the idea of a fitness and wellness retreat to the next level with premium & luxury accommodation, local exploration and world class instructors.

Guests start the day with a fitness class and some evenings end with yoga, but the rest of the day is spent exploring the destination. Fitness is at the core of the trips.

+Premium accommodations and renowned fitness instructors flown in for the occasion.

-Very high price, especially for the single rooms. Limited options for solo travelers to share with other as many rooms are for single use or friends booking together.

SmarTours is a US company that specializes in creating exciting international tours at accessible prices. The company focuses and responsible and sustainable travel with groups an average of 23 guests.

SmarTours has an exclusive section of women-only tours, aimed at mature women who want to have a once in a lifetime experience. They inspire and empower women to travel and offer many immersive female-focused experiences in their trips.

Some of their top women-only tour destinations are Jordan, Egypt and Turkey. A few of their amazing female-focused experiences are: a modern Egyptian women lecture and connecting with Jordanian local women.

They also have a FB group where women can find a roommate or connect with fellow female guests before their trip.

+Immersing international trips at very affordable prices. Some trips have no single supplements at all. Exotic and fascinating destinations with mature women-focused experiences.

-Limited destinations for their women-only tours. Limited single room options. There is a single supplement in the majority of the tours. Large groups of up to 23 guests to keep costs down.

Road scholar women

Road scholar is known for its educational trips that are intensely focused on culture, learning and getting deep into the history of a place through lectures and sessions on various topics.

Besides their general trips that are open to anyone, the Road Scholar Women trips are exclusively for women. Some of their itineraries are exclusively women-only and designed with women in mind, whereas others are just women-only departures with the same general program.

+In-depth cultural and historical understanding with lectures led by specialists and experts on various cultural aspects of the country.

-Limited destinations for their women-only tours. Very large groups of 13 to 24 guests means the experience is different than that of a smaller group tour company.

Other women travel groups to look out for

Besides the above women’s tours there are a few other tours for women worth mentioning, as follows:

  • Dare to detour offers retreats in the US that are more about self-discovery and taking a break from your daily life to pause, re-frame, rethink, and perhaps find yourself and your path again.
  • Women traveling together offer solo traveler tours for women in the US. Trips are usually 6-7 days long and mostly culturally-focused.
  • Living Big Travel is not an exclusive women travel group company but rather a custom-tour company that organizes trips for solo travelers so you can reach out to them if you wish to go on an adventure on your own.
  • She Hit Refresh is a community which also organizes retreats in Spain and Morocco for women over the age of 30 who want to make a big change and pursue a life of travel. As the founder puts it “[the retreats are] a magical week of exploration, introspection, and inspiration!”
  • Adventurous Women is an Australian company who offer tours, day trips, retreats and many memorable experiences throughout Australia. Most of the women who join them come solo and there’s a wide age range. Depending on the kind of adventure you’re into, you can find everything from hiking to water-based trips.
  • Diva Destinations is a UK company that specializes in bringing together lesbian & queer women on group holidays. They have group tours in the UK, US, Norway and Portugal.

Why you should join a women travel group

Women want to travel and sometimes, they don’t have the right friend or travel companion to do so. While many choose to travel on their own ( watch our mini-documentary to find out more), many prefer to join a group. Both choices are amazing and rewarding, if you’re still thinking about it, get some inspiration from our solo travel quotes .

Although it sounds like an oxymoron, solo travel tours are a great alternative for inexperienced travelers who prefer the comfort of an organized tour where they can make new friends and gather the courage to go it alone in the future.

Several companies have sprung in recent years to facilitate women traveling together via group trips, hangouts or meet-up groups. Besides our own women only group trips, we also created a sub-group for solo female travelers wanting to swap homes, hangout or host other members of the community in a safe environment.

The 10 Best Solo Female Travel Groups and Tours

07/05/2023 by Kristin Addis 3 Comments

Setting out alone to travel the world as a woman can be daunting. Whether it’s choosing a destination fit for first-timers or planning diligently around your safety concerns , there is plenty to consider before you make the leap to solo travel.

But what if there was an easier way to dip your toes into making your wanderlust dreams come true? Or what if there was a way to make solo travel less…solo?

Enter travel groups and tours. Now that solo female travel has become more popular than ever, new companies are emerging each year to offer women an alternative: traveling in a group. Group trips and tours vary widely, but a common thread is that they offer women the opportunity to meet other travelers and explore the world together without the added pressure of planning.

These are my top picks:

Table of Contents

1. BMTM Adventures

namibia road trip spitzkoppe

My own BMTM Adventures obviously makes the list! So far, we’ve taken over a hundred women on trips all around the world, from swimming with whales in French Polynesia to backpacking across glacial landscapes in Alaska and Patagonia. Focusing on unique and off-the-beaten-path destinations, this is the ideal choice for travelers who aren’t afraid to venture outside their comfort zone. I put my heart and soul into planning each and every trip.

In 2025, we are heading to Namibia and Botswana ! This highly sought-after Africa tour has an astrophotography and wildlife focus, and since I hand-pick each lodge, activity, and local guide on every trip, you can expect warm hospitality and a truly immersive experience, regardless of which adventure you choose.

2. Wander Women Retreats

best solo female travel groups and tours

Wander Women Retreats, founded by Alex in Wanderland , offers empowering experiences for solo female travelers. Its retreats combine wellness, adventure, and cultural exploration, providing a holistic approach to travel. Whether it’s practicing yoga on the serene beaches of Bali or diving in the deep seas of the Maldives , Wander Women Retreats create an environment in which personal growth and meaningful connections thrive.

This year, Wander Women Retreats will head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida , and also offer two unique trips to Egypt! You can also book a virtual retreat if you want a taste of Wander Women before hopping on an in-person tour.

3. TBA Escapes

best solo female travel groups and tours

TBA Escapes specializes in boutique and luxury experiences designed for adventurous solo female travelers . Its itineraries span unique destinations worldwide, allowing participants to embark on thrilling activities, such as sandboarding in Morocco or hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa .

I love that TBA Escapes includes a whole page dedicated to testimonials from past participants . These excited me about the trip offerings, because the reviews are absolutely glowing! TBA Escapes is currently accepting reservations for its 2024 offerings to the Galápagos Islands, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, and Morocco. How can a girl choose?!

4. Girls That Scuba

best solo female travel groups and tours

Girls That Scuba is a vibrant community and travel resource for women scuba divers. Alongside its informative articles and resources, it organizes dive trips catered specifically to solo female travelers. These trips provide the opportunity to explore breathtaking dive sites while connecting with fellow female divers who share the same passion for the underwater world.

The beauty of Girls That Scuba is its wide range of offerings for every skill level. You can join a freediving training retreat in Mexico , or dive head first (pun intended) into the Red Sea in Jordan for a fully immersive experience. So immerse yourself in the beauty of the ocean and form lifelong friendships on a Girls That Scuba trip.

5. Trafalgar

women's travel tour groups

First Name:

Trafalgar’s women’s travel division specializes in curating enriching group experiences for solo female travelers and tend to cater to a boomer crowd. Its itineraries focus on cultural immersion, encounters with residents, and unique insights into each destination. From exploring the ancient ruins of Greece to discovering the vibrant markets of Morocco, Trafalgar offers a supportive and inclusive environment for female travelers seeking more comforts on their trips.

The history and culture enthusiast in me craves being fully immersed in a culture the way Trafalgar promises. Some of my favorite travel experiences include hands-on experiences like this, so I recommend Trafalgar to anyone most excited about the opportunity to be surrounded by new sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and more!

Upcoming trips include Ireland, France, Egypt, Jordan, and Scandinavia, and the website makes it super easy to choose one, because you can see recent reviews and a full itinerary for each trip before you book.

6. REI Adventures – Women’s Trips

best solo female travel groups and tours

REI Adventures has a range of outdoorsy trips designed specifically for women. They’re all about hands-on activities and active exploration, and the itineraries are tailored to empower women through physical challenges. Try backpacking for the first time , or a kayaking adventure with REI Adventures, and join a group of like-minded women ready to conquer new horizons.

Since trekking alone can be anxiety-inducing for many women, REI Adventures is an opportunity to connect with the outdoors without worrying about safety. My women love hiking but often get spooked when out on a trail by themselves, which keeps many from doing longer backpacking trips . That’s why REI Adventures makes my list of the best solo female travel groups and tours. Upcoming trips include hiking in Bryce Canyon , backpacking along the Pacific Crest Trail, and kayaking in the San Juan Islands.

7. AdventureWomen

best solo female travel groups and tours

AdventureWomen is a pioneer in women-only adventure travel (as the name implies), offering a wide range of active and immersive tours for solo female travelers. From hiking the iconic Inca Trail to cultural explorations in Iceland , AdventureWomen provides opportunities for women of all ages to discover the world while building lifelong friendships. Embrace your adventurous spirit with AdventureWomen, and join hundreds of other women in making their travel dreams come true.

Adventure Women has the widest range of offerings I’ve seen anywhere else. You can choose from trips on nearly every continent. Some of the upcoming trips, like this cruise in Croatia , are more laid-back. Then there are more intense adventures, like this trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro .

8. Intrepid Travel’s Women’s Expeditions

best solo female travel groups and tours

Intrepid Travel’s Women’s Expeditions focuses on empowering women while providing unique cultural experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Whether you’re exploring the ancient ruins of Jordan or discovering the vibrant cities of India, these expeditions offer a supportive and educational environment for female travelers. Intrepid offers the chance to join a diverse group of women from around the world and embark on a life-changing adventure.

Intrepid has a great reputation for organizing meaningful trips that inspire connection, which is why its expeditions excite me so much! There’s even a 12-day trip to Iran , which is the most unusual offering I’ve seen so far.

9. Wild Women Expeditions

best solo female travel groups and tours

Feeling a little…wild? Wild Women Expeditions specializes in immersive adventure travel experiences, such as kayaking in the Canadian wilderness or hiking in the Himalayas . These expeditions allow solo female travelers to challenge themselves in awe-inspiring natural environments. Discover your inner wild woman and join a community of adventurous souls on a journey that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired.

Like me, you might feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of trips available through Wild Women Expeditions. On the destinations page , you’ll see options all over the globe, so choosing just one might be tricky. There’s even a trip to Antarctica , which is a rare find!

10. Purposeful Nomad

This one is for you if you’re keen on diving deep into a new culture. Purposeful Nomad offers immersive travel experiences that combine adventure, culture, and social impact. You can explore vibrant markets in India, participate in community-based projects in Peru, and so much more. Purposeful Nomad also provides opportunities to volunteer during your trip, adding an extra layer of intention and meaning. You’ll get to connect with a community of like-minded women seeking meaningful travel experiences, too.

I love the unique social impact model of Purposeful Nomad, and the upcoming trips look incredible. From the Ngorongoro Crater to the Galápagos Islands , there are plenty of options to choose from.

When it comes to finding the best solo female travel groups and tours, the world truly is your oyster. Traveling completely alone is an incredible experience, but sometimes a girl needs to be in community with others while on the road.

Each group or tour brings its unique flair, catering to different travel styles and preferences. Whether you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping adventures, cultural immersions, or personal growth, those listed here are designed to enhance your journey.

So, which one will you choose?

Atlas adventures!!

Mimi Leiper says

03/06/2024 at 6:02 pm

I wanted to let you know about my experience with Girls Guide to the World before you recommend them to anyone else. It has been a nightmare…

I signed up to go on what I thought would be the trip of a lifetime to sail in Thailand in April 2024. The trip was two 44 foot catamarans with a private chef, 8 women and two captains. Before I signed up for the trip I spoke with the owner at length and was assured that everything would be perfect. The trip would be very safe with the two boats and so many participants.

Only one other person signed up for the trip and because the owner of the company did not want to lose her deposit, she decided that there would be only 1 boat, two paying travelers and that she would go along with her cousin. I do not feel it is even safe to sail around in a small sailboat alone with just a few women. When I sent an email to her in January expressing my concerns she ignored it. Only when I informed her that I would not be paying the balance of my trip did she contact me. She has continued to refused to cancel the trip, refused to refund or transfer my $2600 deposit to another trip and then sent an email out offering a discount of $1400 for anyone else to take my place. That $1400 discount was actually part of my deposit.

The website clearly states that if In the highly unusual event that Girls’ Guide to the World has to reschedule or cancel a trip, we will offer you the option of a) Joining us on the rescheduled trip at a later date (we will make every effort to pick new dates that work for everyone), b) applying your payment(s) towards a different trip, or c) receiving a full refund. Based on the fact that this trip was not at all what was advertised I believe it should have been cancelled and I should have been given the opportunity to choose a, b or c. Instead they decided to keep my deposit and move forward with one paying traveler.

This company clearly cares only about the bottom line in my opinion. I would never recommend them ever to anyone! Buyer beware!

So sorry to hear about your negative experience! I’ve gone ahead and removed them as a recommended company on the post.

9 Best Travel Groups For Women

I often get asked if I know of any great travel groups for women that bring together like-minded solo women travelers. I always recommend trying a group tour if you are skittish about planning and traveling on your own . In fact, I joined a large group tour when I took my first trip to Paris in 2011 and it opened my world up to new friendships and a self-confidence like I’d never felt before.

Women Travel Differently

Let’s face it when it comes to travel women and men can have obvious differences in their objectives. Men may find spending hours in an art museum boring and would choose to race through the Orsay in Paris vs really taking the time to ponder the artist’s view. Women may be more open to cultivating relationships with those they meet on their travels. We tend to be interested in the culture of a destination. Men may be more interested in racing to see how many things you can experience in a day and women are more into slower travel. Women tend to enjoy shopping more on their travels than men. More married women are choosing to travel on their own because either they have a spouse that has no interest in travel, or they have very different travel goals.

Travel Groups For Women As an Alternative to Solo Travel

There is a wide segment in the travel industry geared toward female solo travelers. But what if you are dying to give solo travel a try, but just don’t feel comfortable striking out on your own? That’s where travel groups for women come in. Most times, these women’s travel groups are small-sized and may have a focus. Food-based groups, travel groups for women that focus on culture, and adventure travel groups for women have taken off in popularity. Especially for the midlife woman, as baby boomers continue to stay active, adventure travel has been a great way to see the world and to stay fit at the same time.

Here are 9 great travel groups for women

Rei woman adventures.

REI Woman’s Adventures combine outdoor activities with local flair. These trips are for women looking not to just see a destination, but to experience it threw off the beaten path places and local food. Hiking, camping, backpacking, or kayaking (or maybe all the above), these adventures are not for the traveler that wants to sit back and relax.

travel groups for women

Select your travel style or a destination and you have an abundance of travel options at your fingertips. Shefari was created by two best friends and travel buddies to connect and empower like-minded travelers through different curated travel. From trips that heal and energize, to trips that teach and inspire, it’s a unique type of travel model aimed at redefining the group travel. I took one look at their trips offered and spotted a Castle and Wine tour of the Loire Valley in France and immediately wanted to sign up!

Purposeful Nomad

Purposeful Nomad designs trips with intention. Aimed at bringing together women from around the world to bring about positive change. Focused on small group travel, Purposeful Nomad takes its travelers to international destinations such as Mexico, Greece, and Tanzania.

Women Traveling Together

“No one will go with me. ” I hear this ALL THE TIME from women. Heck, I even uttered those words myself in the past. Women Traveling Together puts together small group tours with one mission. To bring solo women travelers together. This travel group for women focuses on US destinations. You get to the destination and the rest is planned out for you. I absolutely love that this company was started by a 40-year-old woman who, like many of us wanted to travel, but didn’t want to go alone, or join one of the large tour options. There is an annual membership cost, but if you’re looking to join a community before your trip, this may be a good option.

Sisterhood Travels

Sisterhood Travels is about a lot more than each destination they visit. The entire mission behind the Sisterhood Travels is to empower women to explore the world on their own terms in a safe, accepting, and community centered environment. You may go on your first Sisterhood Travels tour as a solo traveler not knowing anyone, but you’ll go home with new travel buddies and lifelong friends. 

Founder Stacey Ray traveled extensively with her husband and channeled that expertise to create her own travel company. When he passed away, she was not ready to hang up her suitcase. Instead, she used that extensive travel experience to shift direction to a woman only travel group, hence Sisterhood Travels was born.

Read My review from my trip with Sisterhood Travels.

Sisterhood Travels embarks on a wide variety of world-wide tours . Each one has an activity level score. Many of their tours sell out fast (85% of their guest return to book repeat trips). They have an active Facebook private Facebook group for past guests and those curious about taking that first step into solo women-only group travel.

Women’s Travel Club

Women’s Travel Club offers small group tours for women of all ages to destinations around the world. Divided up between Classic, Signature, and my favorite, Budget Friendly Tours, you’ll be able to find a tour for your budget.

Girls Guide To The World

Founder Doni Belau started Girls Guide To Paris in 2009. It was a resource for all things Paris (which is how I discovered it), and she began hosting small group tours to the city. She was drawn to the magic that happens when a small group of women travel together and discover the world. The popularity of these tours and the fact that Doni is a seasoned traveler lead her to branch out to lead tours to other places around the world.

She rebranded, and Girls Guide To The World was born.

Sight And Soul Travel

Serving only international destinations, Sight And Soul Travels is a small group women-only tour company. This boutique tour company specializes in outdoor activities and luxury travel to destinations around the world. Their tours combine culture, activities, food and wine tastings, and stays in boutique hotels, with the traveler coming home with lasting friendships. They run 50 tours a year, which means they have a vast selection of tours available.

Road Scholar

Let talk about travel groups for the over 50 woman. My belief is that travel is all about educating ourselves on the world around us. Do you travel to learn? Are you over 50? If you answer yes, Road Scholar is for you.  They offer ‘learning adventures” around the world. On the website, you can browse trips by destination, country, ability level, and interests. Although this site caters to men and women over 50, you can select women only travel adventures. Just pick women only in the adventure filter.

women only travel groups

So really there’s no reason to put off travel because you have no one to go with. Take my word for it. Most times you make friends for life when you open yourself up to group travel as a solo traveler . You have some great options with the above travel groups for women. So start dreaming! You can make travel happen.

Women's Expeditions

Women wearing head scarves in Iran

Break down the cultural barriers of traditional tourism with our range of all-female adventures.

We believe travel is for everyone. But in some countries, there are things mixed-gender groups just can’t do. What if, as a female traveler in Pakistan , you could head down to a women-only salon owned by a local woman and run out of her home in a town surrounded by mountains and glaciers? Or you might prefer to learn how to make traditional Indian food at a home cooking class in Jaipur, a country where, in parts, women still rarely get the opportunity to work. Relish in powerful moments like heading out on a  Morocco tour  with M’Goun Valley’s first local female guide.

Our Women’s Expeditions are all about breaking down barriers, fostering discussion and creating immersive local experiences for women that are ordinarily off limits on our regular group departures. They provide local women employment through locally-led experiences, while also supporting women-owned and operated businesses in our supply chain. 

Our groups are small enough to feel like you’re exploring a destination independently but big enough to create a good social vibe. Our average group size is about 10 women, which we've found is a great number to let you connect with the locals you meet without feeling like you’re just a face in a crowd.

The best women to show you the heart of a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we work exclusively with local leaders. On Women's Expeditions, your female leader is not only just a travel expert, but she's also your teacher, travel guru and enthusiastic purveyor of grassroots experiences.

What is travel but a search for something that can’t be Googled? We love the highlights, but the real magic for us happens well away from a beaten path. It’s the visit to a women's-only beauty salon or a home-cooked feast shared in an Indian woman's home. These are real-life experiences you won’t find in a search engine.

As a solo female traveling the world, it's important that you feel safe and comfortable. When you travel with Intrepid, you can rest assured that your safety is our biggest priority – and having the security of a built-in group of new friends and expert local leader means you can relax and enjoy yourself.

Got an urge to see the world, but no one to do it with? We provide a ready-made, all-female group and an expert female local leader to help you make the most of your adventure. Plus, you can choose to share a room with a new friend or have your own for a small extra cost.

We strive to use travel as a force for good. That’s why we choose to give back to the communities we visit, carbon offset all our trips and take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously. We’re proud to be a certified B Corp.

We're empowering women across our business, on our trips and through our work with our not-for-profit, The Intrepid Foundation.

Why is Intrepid Travel operating these female-only expeditions?

Cultural and religious factors mean that local interaction in some countries can be challenging and complex for mixed-gender groups. While we endeavor to offer interaction with locals and real-life experiences wherever possible, in some cases, like the male-operated desert camps we stay at in Jordan, it’s not socially acceptable for men to be alone with our female travelers, so the opportunities for interaction are limited.

By the same token, most opportunities our group tours have to spend time with local women are in the presence of men in a controlled environment. We see these trips as an exciting opportunity for female travelers to go behind closed doors and learn about customs, food, challenges and the lives of other women across the globe.

How are these trips different to other Intrepid Travel adventures?

These are certainly off-track trips, but what sets them apart is cultural, not geographical. In traditionally conservative countries or places where women are not viewed as equal, certain traditions and customs can make genuine cultural interaction difficult.

Traveling in an all-female group means women can connect more directly with each other, and travelers can learn more about women and their day-to-day lives. What these trips are not about is replicating run-of-the-mill itineraries for women-only ‘girls clubs,’ which fuel gender stereotypes and exclusivity.

Will you be adding more countries to your Women's Expeditions in the future?

We chose these destinations because there are a lot of cultural and religious factors that make these countries more complex and therefore the benefit of local interaction is greater. It’s also about the laws in these parts and what is and isn’t acceptable. We’re hoping we can expand our range of female-only trips to even more destinations in the future.

Are men allowed on these expeditions?

We would love to open up these real-life experiences to all of our travelers, but in order to operate in a socially responsible and culturally sensitive manner this is simply not possible – at least not yet. So rather than excluding everyone from this opportunity, we’ve created a range of special departures for our female travelers.

Can you organize a private departure?

Private departures of our female-only trips are definitely possible. Feel free to get in touch with  [email protected]  and let us know what you’re after, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

What if I identify as transgender or non-binary?

Everyone should feel comfortable when they travel with Intrepid and we know that many of our travelers are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s important for our travelers to be aware of the local laws and customs in the destinations we visit, as some countries have laws that discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people. We recommend you visit  Equaldex  before you choose your trip for up-to-date advice and information about LGBTQIA+ related laws. If you have any specific concerns or questions about some of the activities on these trips please contact our bookings team for more information.

If you are a solo traveler booking on a twin-share basis, you will be paired with another traveler of the same gender as per your passport information. If you have concerns with this arrangement please let us know at the time of booking.

Our 7 fave tour companies for singles in their 20s and 30s

These tour companies bring together younger travelers on adventures around the world..

Beth Luberecki

Review: EF Go Ahead’s Food & Wine: Piedmont & Tuscany with America’s Test Kitchen

Millennials and Gen Zers go big on experiences like travel, and many travelers in their 20s and 30s are borrowing a tried-and-true strategy from older generations by booking multi-day guided tours as a way to maximize adventures, simplify planning, and meet like-minded people on trips from tour companies that focus on younger travelers.

According to a recent survey by GetYourGuide , 42% of Millennial leisure travelers and 40% of Gen Z travelers booked a guided tour in the past year, and 81% of Millennials and 80% of Gen Zers say they’re likely to book a guided tour in the next year. It’s an especially appealing option for young solo travelers, who can safely experience the world in the company of new friends and knowledgeable tour guides.

So if you’re a traveler in your 20s or 30s, whether you’re traveling with a friend, a partner, or solo, read on for my list of the best singles guided tour companies for travelers like you.

The Contiki focus is on travel tours for ages 18 to 35, so young travelers will be exclusively among their peers. The company offers 200+ itineraries in more than 60 countries on six continents. Itineraries range from long weekends to trips up to 60 days long, and travel styles include active and adventure trips, sailing and cruise tours, and small-group tours. All on-trip transportation and accommodations, plus most meals and activities, are included on tours.

Almost 60% of U.S. Contiki travelers join tours solo, and itineraries are built to encourage travelers to be social with each other. Many guests make lifelong friendships on trips and even participate in Contiki’s reunion tours once they age out.

OUR FAVES: 10 best Contiki tours

Sustainability is a big focus for the company, which made all its trips carbon neutral in 2022 and is now working to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire business by 2050. Almost every itinerary has at least one “Make Travel Matter” experience to help travelers give back to the people and places they visit, experiences like meeting rescued baby elephants in Kenya or visiting indigenous communities in Ecuador.

Popular tours include the eight-day Thai Island Hopper West trip, the Ireland in a Week tour, and the eight-day Egypt and the Nile adventure. Contiki offers lots of flexibility for young, budget-conscious travelers, like the ability to pay in as many installments as you’d like as long as the trip balance is paid in full 60 days before departure. If plans change and it’s more than 60 days before the departure date, travelers can use their original deposit toward a future Contiki trip without any penalties.

2. EF Ultimate Break

Founded in 2016, EF Ultimate Break focuses exclusively on trips for young adults ages 18 to 35. The company offers more than 140 different trips across six continents ranging from six to 60 days.

Many of the company’s customers are solo travelers , and itineraries are designed to foster connections and bring travelers together. Booking an EF Ultimate Break trip also gives solo travelers the safety and security that comes with a group tour, plus airport transfers and EF’s global support network that’s available 24/7 before, during, and after a trip.

3. Intrepid Travel

Intrepid Travel has been a leader in responsible travel for 35 years. In 2018, it became the world’s largest travel company to achieve B Corp certification, and it strives to create positive change through immersive and impactful travel. 

Intrepid has offered young adult travel trips for ages 18 to 29, but in 2024 the company expanded the age range up to 35 to better serve the next generation of travelers. The company’s 18 to 35s itineraries are specifically designed with Millennials and Gen Zers in mind, taking into account the fact that they’re curious, climate-conscious, and culturally connected. That means lots of local immersion, plenty of free time, opportunities for adventure and time spent in nature, and regional specific food experiences, along with nightlife, photo ops, and unique accommodations when possible.

With an average group size of 10 and led by local tour leaders, these trips are welcome environments for solo travelers. In fact, Intrepid’s highest volume demographic of solo travelers in 2024 was 21- to 30-year-olds, and the 18 to 35s itineraries are one of the company’s top trip categories booked by solo travelers. Popular 18 to 35s trips include the 15-day Real Central Europe tour, the Six Days in Iceland excursion, and the 12-day Essential Morocco trip, and the company’s newest offerings for this age group include the nine-day Essential South Korea tour and the One Week in Costa Rica trip.

Young solo travelers who take these tours get the safety that comes with traveling in a group and the chance to meet new friends from all over the world.

But younger travelers can also participate in any of the 150 REI Adventures itineraries, and any departure can become a private trip with just six people.

New trips launched recently include a California wine country women’s hiking trip and an Asheville-area backpacking trip , and REI has 13 more itineraries are slated to launch by the end of 2024 to destinations, including Acadia and the Oregon Coast.

7. Koda Sail

Koda Sail offers small-ship tours of Croatia, Turkey, and the Maldives designed for young professionals in their mid-20s to late 30s. That means things like spacious air-conditioned cabins with private en-suites and a local chef on board preparing meals. Tours include swim stops and free time when docked in town. Trip leaders offer recommendations on what to see and do, and there are sometimes organized excursions. Dinner and happy hour take place on the boat, and then guests can head back into port to experience the local nightlife.

SAIL AWAY: Dreamiest European river cruises

Tourgoers come from all over the world, with 30% from the U.S., 50% from Australia, and the rest from places like New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, and Singapore. More than 60% of the guests are female, and 33% are solo travelers. Taking part in a trip with like-minded peers with similar travel styles tends to make it easier for solo travelers to get on board, and Koda Sail even offers tips for solo travelers to help them break the ice.

And if being on the water isn’t your thing, the company’s newest tour offering is actually on dry land. The 10-night Africa trip travels from Zimbabwe to Botswana and includes a four-night private safari in the Okavango Delta, whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River, and a tour of Victoria Falls.
