Wild Women Expeditions (WWE) are for newbies just as much as they are for the experienced globetrotter. They offer experiences for places that aren't frequently visited by tourists, and are also super keen on caring for the environment and making sure their group tours don't disturb all the critters they come across throughout their journeys. Know your money is being put to good use outside of your trip as well — WWE supports environmental education, advocacy campaigns, and community projects.

It's likely you knew to go to REI for your first pair of hiking books, but did you know that they also host group trips for women? REI Women's Adventures focus mostly on hiking and backpacking, but that's not to say they don't throw a more relaxing trip in there every once in a while — like the one to Baja California where you camp on the beach and visit local art galleries instead of trekking intimidating mountains.

Promising review: "It turns out that the hiking--and the biking--were just amazing...we all enjoyed each expedition and the counterpoints they offered to all the great food and wine we consumed in between!!" - Susan49, REI Adventures

Women High On Adventure (WHOA) coordinates meet-ups with local women in the places your group ventures to, so you can experience each destination with locals who share your same passion for adventure. Think trekking to Machu Picchu with local mountain guides who can take you up less trodden paths.

Promising review: "I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with them in 2016 and next year will be hiking to Everest Base Camp. It was my first 'solo' trip in that I flew to Tanzania alone, but we had 22 ladies climbing Kili as a group." - travelfearlessly, Tripadvisor

Promising review: "I'm usually an Airbnb and food truck kind of traveler and while I work out, I'd certainly never list fitness as a hobby. I was a little bit nervous when I booked this retreat but I SO enjoyed myself and would recommend Fit & Fly to anyone." - Sarah, Fit & Fly Testimonials

Destinations: North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa

Cost: $3,200+ (includes accommodations, meals, fitness classes, excursions, ground transportation)

Adventures in Good Company makes sure you have the flexibility to make your trip what you want, even with a big group. If part of the group wants to stay in while the other goes out, or half the group wants to go for a swim while the other half wants to hike, your guides will make sure that happens. Plus, at the end of it all, you'll likely leave with a new batch travel-loving girlfriends you can adventure with for years to come.

Promising review: "There were 10 ladies and two guides. The guides were very experienced and were flexible in order to meet all of the group needs. One day some of us wanted to try to go to Angel's Landing, so one guide took the group up to Angel's landing while the other took the rest of the group on another hike." - TravelinD1, Tripadvisor

Destinations: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and New Zealand

Cost: $920+ (includes accommodations, ground transportation, some meals, guides)

The group retreats focus on combining wellness, travel, and creativity — think yoga classes in Sonoma followed by family-style brunches with lots of flowers. Oh, and you get $200-$500 worth of FP products with the cost of the trip.

Promising review: "This unique journey to Maderas set the tone for the week: stepping outside of our comfort zones, saying yes to the unpredictable, and transforming." - Emily Sellers, FP Escapes
