Expeditions for all-women groups have become increasingly popular, and in response, Intrepid Travel has expanded its offerings. Specifically designed for female travelers, these 'Women’s Expeditions' feature a variety of adventure trips, such as backcountry hiking in the U.S. and exploring remote regions in Morocco. To further meet this demand, Intrepid has partnered with Wildland Trekking, adding 10 new Women’s Adventure trips for 2025, all led by local female guides.
Moreover, these expeditions focus on creating deeper, culturally immersive experiences. As participants explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, they engage with local communities and support women’s employment by working with women-owned businesses. In addition, the tours provide local women with leadership roles as guides, enhancing the connection between travelers and their surroundings.
Through these initiatives, Intrepid Travel supports the rising trend of women-only travel, while promoting sustainable and responsible tourism that empowers women in the process.
