AdventureWomen, the pioneering women-founded tour operator, is enhancing its 2026 lineup with five new small-group trips in North America, reflecting a growing appetite for nearby, high-impact experiences. All-women groups of eight to fifteen travelers will embark on active journeys across Baja, Utah, Alaska, California’s national parks, and Canada – marking a bold step forward in domestic exploration.
This expansion is part of a strategic response to increasing demand for closer-to-home adventure travel. Since its founding in 1982, AdventureWomen has emphasized meaningful cultural connections and empowerment—a philosophy underscored by company president Paige Davis, who noted that the additions nurture not only travel experiences but also personal growth and community connection.
Five Distinct Adventures, One Transformative Vision
The new itineraries vary in style and pace but share core themes of discovery, wellness, and cultural immersion:
- Baja: Sea Lions, Stargazing, and Mindfulness – A seven-day exploration of Baja’s coast (April 12–18, 2026), blending wildlife encounters with restorative stargazing and mindful practices.
- Utah: Moab, Arches, and Canyonlands Adventure – From May 17–22, 2026, travelers will hike, raft, and zipline through Utah’s iconic red-rock landscape.
- Alaska: Glaciers, Wildlife Encounters, and Multi-Adventures – This nine-day expedition (June 1–9, 2026) offers glacier hikes, wildlife viewing, and sea kayaking.
- Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon – A seven-day journey (June 22–28, 2026) through California’s legendary parks, filled with hiking, natural wonder, and personal empowerment.
- Canada: The Ultimate Train Journey and Active Outdoor Adventure – A nine-day Canadian Rockies itinerary (August 6–14, 2026), combining the famed Rocky Mountaineer train with guided hikes, e-biking, and river rafting.
Empowering Journeys for Active Women
Each trip is curated for travelers seeking meaningful engagement – not just sightseeing. Groups are kept small to foster camaraderie, and each adventure emphasizes a strong connection to both place and people. All itineraries are led by experienced AdventureWomen ambassadors alongside local guides, ensuring a sense of support and insight throughout the journey.
Baja’s itinerary connects travelers with local fishermen and coastal conservation efforts. Alaska’s trip includes moments of solitude among glaciers and wildlife. In California, guests learn about forest ecology while soaking in the awe of giant sequoias. And in Canada, the Rockies rail experience is balanced with immersive outdoor excursions.
Meeting Demand Through Strategic Growth
AdventureWomen’s expansion into North America reflects changing traveler preferences and a wider shift toward more sustainable, close-to-home adventure travel. As more women seek trips that combine wellness, activity, and authentic cultural interaction, these new offerings deliver deeply resonant experiences without requiring long-haul flights.
President Paige Davis emphasized that these aren’t just tours—they’re journeys of transformation. Designed to empower and connect women through shared discovery, the 2026 itineraries reaffirm AdventureWomen’s legacy as a leader in purpose-driven travel.
