Review of Wild Women Expeditions
Wild Women Expeditions’ website is beautifully designed and user-friendly, allowing you to search tours by destination, activity or date. Each tour page provides detailed itineraries, trip highlights, accommodation information and activity levels. Activity levels are clearly defined on their FAQ page. Tours are offered on pre-selected dates and change each year. The frequency of departures varies by trip, with some offered multiple times per year and others offered only once. Most tours are multi-activity and may include snorkeling, rafting, horse or camel riding, yoga, cycling, and kayaking. Group sizes range from 6-16 (up to 40 for ship expeditions).
Wild Women Expeditions emphasizes comfort and authenticity in their accommodations, often choosing locally-owned lodges, eco-friendly retreats, and boutique guesthouses that reflect the character of the destination. While accommodations are thoughtfully selected for quality and ambiance, they are not typically luxurious in the traditional sense but are geared toward creating a warm, welcoming environment for adventurous travelers.
Please note! Canadian land tours are priced in Canadian dollars, all international tours are priced in USD.

Normally I wouldn’t mention something so personal, but I feel it’s important to include this story about Jennifer Haddow (Wild Women Expeditions’ owner), where she talks about overcoming a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and finds her strength in the outdoors. Her story deeply resonates with me and I know it will with others. ~ Clare
