Exploring The World With Women Travel Groups
At Camp Social , we believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and supported while traveling.
Thanks to women's travel groups, the days of compromising your travel dreams due to safety concerns or lack of travel companions are over.
Whether it's your first solo trip or one of many adventures, here's our girl's guide to female-only travel groups.
6 Reasons to Choose Women’s Travel Groups
Thousands of women have discovered that traveling with other females transforms their entire travel experience. Here’s why women keep coming back for more group adventures:
1. Connection and community
Where else is better to meet like-minded women than within travel groups?
Women-only trips create an instant sense of belonging. Everyone is there for the same reasons: to explore, have fun, and recharge their batteries.
These shared intentions spark quick bonds and create a supportive community of amazing women.
2. Build lasting friendships
There's something about women-only tours that fast-tracks real friendships. You're sharing enriching experiences, meals, and unforgettable moments with like-minded travelers, so you already have plenty in common.
Many women come home with relationships that last for years, the kind where you stay in touch and plan future trips together.
3. Supportive and inclusive environment
Female group travel provides a welcoming environment based on encouragement and empowerment, not competition.
No one is rolling their eyes if you want to take in the sunset or rushing you through a museum if they're bored.
Instead, everyone's experiences and comfort levels are respected, creating a space where you can just be. No one's judging you or pressuring you to fit in.
4. Female-oriented experiences
Women travel differently from men. We're more interested in a destination's culture and history, and we want to explore at a slower pace.
These travel groups are designed with women in mind, from carefully selected destinations to activities that appeal specifically to female interests.
Think wellness workshops, artisan markets, spa days, and cultural immersion - and yes, we also sneak in a shopping trip here and there!
5. Solo travel with benefits
Solo travel is something many women want to check off their bucket list, but plenty don't feel comfortable attempting completely independent travel to unfamiliar destinations.
Joining a solo female travel group gives you the perfect blend of lone travel with a built-in support network.
Someone else handles the logistics while you're free to explore on your own terms. And, if you want to connect with others, you can join the group for meals and other activities.
6. Safety in numbers
Group tours bring peace of mind. You feel less vulnerable in uncomfortable situations because everyone has your back.
You don't have to venture into unfamiliar areas on your own, and there's always someone to watch your purse while you dash to the bathroom.

Types of Travel Groups for Women
Women's travel groups cater to different interests, activity levels, and personal preferences, so choose one that best matches what appeals to you most.
Adventure travel groups
An adventure trip is perfect if you want excitement without the intimidating competitive atmosphere sometimes found in mixed-gender adventure travel.
You get to challenge yourself amongst a team who cheers you on! Enjoy skiing, kayaking, hiking, wildlife encounters, and other activities without worrying about being left behind. The travel company tailors each trip according to the participant's fitness levels and abilities.
Boutique tour companies
A boutique company organizes small group tours and carefully curated trips. They have a more personal touch with thoughtfully planned itineraries and high-end accommodation.
These are exclusive experiences that feel intimate and intentional, ideal for women who want something genuinely special and memorable rather than standardized experiences offered by larger group tours.
International women-only tours
International tours are great for empowering women to discover new countries without the hassle of planning every last detail.
The trips offer rich culture led by guides who understand women's needs.
From Costa Rica and the Caribbean to the deep history of Europe, global exploration is easier, safer, and far more fun as a group.
Groups for females traveling solo
These groups are designed for women who want independence as a solo female traveler but appreciate the comfort of having a ready-made crew.
Itineraries allow for more freedom, offering group activities and shared experiences without creating pressure to participate in every single event.
These trips are also usually organized so you get your own room, yet avoid the dreaded cost of the single supplement.
Women-only trips for wellness
Wellness trips focus on rest, renewal, and rejuvenation. An escape to recharge the batteries in a nurturing environment with supportive women.
Spa and yoga retreats, workshops for personal growth, nature escapes, and slow-paced itineraries. Pick your experience and take a much-needed break from the constant demands and stresses of daily life.
