An open letter to women who travel. Booking with the right company ensures your trip aligns with your dreams and protects your travel investment.
Dear Fellow Women Adventurers,
Have you ever gotten caught up in a fancy Facebook ad or Instagram reel for women’s group tours and thought, “This looks perfect!”? But just before clicking, you hesitate—does this trip really align with what I want? Is this a legit company?
Choosing the right women’s group tour experience isn’t just about finding a captivating destination; it’s about ensuring the trip is intentionally designed for women by a legitimate, licensed travel company with the expertise and credentials to back it up.
The truth is, while many groups advertise “women’s only” trips, not all are created equal. Some tours are thoughtfully crafted with women in mind, while others are generic itineraries rebranded to attract the market. Worse, some pop-up groups—despite excelling at local events like hikes or sip-and-paint nights—may not have the knowledge, resources, or legal credentials to organize international adventure tours responsibly.
What to Look for in a Women’s Group Tour
Booking an international tour is a big investment in yourself, and it’s important to ensure the company you choose delivers on its promises. Here’s how to identify a company that prioritizes your experience and protects your investment:
Designed for Women, Not Just Marketed to Women:
A true women’s group tour goes beyond the label. Look for tours intentionally crafted for women (not repackaged and marked-up generic itineraries) including tour guides, women’s specific concerns such as safety and solo-female travelers.
Legitimate Travel Credentials: Ask if the company is licensed to sell travel. Travel agencies must comply with specific regulations, including proper handling of funds, customer restitution programs, and state registration requirements.
Are they accredited by professional organizations like IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network) or ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors)? These affiliations indicate a commitment to professional standards and ethical practices.
Experience and Expertise: Leading great local hikes or sip and social events doesn’t automatically translate into the ability to manage complex, worldwide adventure tours. Look for a company with long-standing connections, impeccable safety record, destination knowledge, and extensive reviews.
How Green Edventures Women’s Group Tours & Adventures Stand Out
At our core, we don’t just plan tours—we design transformative experiences for women, by women. Since 2010, we have been building relationships with expert local guides worldwide to create women-focused women’s group tours and travel adventures. Our programming aligns with the Becoming an Outdoors Woman curriculum model.
Every itinerary is purposefully designed for women who are beginners ages 50+ in mind, but open to any adult woman, regardless of age, who resonates with the itinerary. We have thought through how to modify advertised activities to address varying stamina levels, skills, abilities, and shapes without making individuals feel “too old, or too slow”, and without compromising the group experience. Because of this, we have attracted a community of like-minded women who share a love for nature, group learning, and safety.
As a licensed and accredited travel company, with over 16 years in business, we take our responsibility to you seriously. Your investment is protected through proper travel fund management and compliance with industry regulations. We’re proud to be affiliated with organizations like IATAN and ASTA, ensuring we meet the highest standards in the travel industry.
Your Planning Starts With a Conversation
So, before you click “Book Now” and submit thousands of dollars to a stranger, call them. Ask the hard questions. Read reviews, check credentials, and don’t settle for a generic experience with a fancy label.
