Womens Adventure Travel and Vacations

Womens adventure travel is a great way to enjoy a trip with your girlfriends; while many women look for spas and shopping for their girlfriend getaways, many women want the adrenaline rush of adventure!

This is also one area where we will focus on women only vacations; men can certainly enjoy a cooking trip or spa, but when it comes to adventure vacations, competitiveness can come into play and spoil the fun.

Womens adventure travel can be "soft adventure" (more active and out-of-the-ordinary than your usual bus or walking tour), or it can be of the "extreme sports" variety.

- Sisters on the Fly offers outdoor adventures for women of all ages. They specialize in fly fishing and horseback riding, and have a "Cowgirl Caravan" of vintage trailers that travel to their events.

Events are scheduled around the country, so check their calendar to find something near you.

- Cruising Women has lots of information about sailing, including sailing schools for women. There's nothing more adventurous than piloting your own "ship" on the seas! (or maybe I just think that because I don't even swim - sailing seems pretty scary to me!)

While Cruising Women is not a travel supplier and does not offer their own classes or events, you'll find all the information you need to get started sailing with other women.

- Del Mar Surf Camp in Costa Rica, is a surf camp specifically for women.

They offer yoga, horseback riding, and massage along with surf lessons, and start their days with a hike into the nearby mountains where you'll see monkeys, toucans, and other native wildlife and plants.

They have week-long programs as well as 3 and 5 day getaways.

- Women on the Road is another informational site for women backpackers and solo travelers.

Traveling the world alone in an adventure in itself! Even if you choose to have your sisters or friends accompany you, there are things that affect women travelers differently than their male counterparts (security, for instance!).

This site is about independent travel rather than escorted tours, and covers volunteer vacations and teaching English in foreign countries
