Traveling women in Norway. (photo courtesy of  the Women's Travel Club) Out With The Girls: Worldwide
Women-Only Tours

By Lauryn Axelrod

Miss the days of high school or college, hanging out with your girlfriends, talking into the wee hours of the morning? Or, looking for a way to see the world as a single or solo female traveler without having to worry about guys and their travel style?

 

Since the late 70’s, tour companies have been addressing the needs of female travelers with women-only tours that offer all the adventure of mixed-gender tours, but with a woman’s interests and touch. Think ultimate girls’ night out, or a sleepover party that includes adventure, good food, and even a massage!

Whether you want to hike the canyons of Utah, walk the hills of England, kayak the fjords of New Zealand, or discover the food and culture of France, there is a women-only tour for you.

Pack your bags, bring your girlfriends, and check out these GoNOMAD NETWORK MEMBERS that specialize in women-only tours around the world. Please let them know you read about them on GoNOMAD!
