Wild places, new friends, real adventure. Active holidays for women.

During the summer season, our trips include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, hiking, yoga, cycling and horse riding. Our winter trips include downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing and even winter kayaking.

Absolutely. We want to get women into new sports and activities; that’s part of our mission. Every trip includes expert instructors, and we also offer beginner trips for Gutsy Girls who want to learn a new sport or activity from scratch.

Each Gutsy Girls trip is packed with activities and we’ll be moving our bodies for 4+ hours each day. We don’t spend time driving you around to different locations, instead we use the activities as our way of exploring, through kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, skiing and more. Our trips give you the chance to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone!

Yes! Every Gutsy Girl adventure includes a highly vetted instructor or guide who will teach you how to do the activity/sport and help you navigate the location and terrain.

As all of our trips involve consecutive days of all-day activity, you need to have a good level of fitness to take part. We also advise you to prepare ahead of time with similar sports or activities. If you’re only used to relaxed walks in the park or low-impact sport, our trips might not be for you. Check out our Difficulty Guide to learn more about fitness levels and preparation.

Yes! We encourage you to book solo; over 95% of our guests join our adventure holidays on their own. We aim to bring together like-minded women for new friendships. We are a very friendly bunch, and love getting to know new Gutsy Girls.

We love taking our guests to unexpected destinations to go off the beaten path and explore remote locations. Currently, we travel to Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Iceland and North Macedonia. We also run one-day adventures in the UK, so you don’t need to travel too far to experience a Gutsy Girl adventure!

Women from all over the world join in our adventures, many from the UK and Europe, but we often have women join us from the USA and beyond. We welcome all Gutsy Girls, no matter where you’re from! Prices are listed in GBP, but that’s just because we’re a UK company; anyone can join.

Yes, you can book in groups of up to three friends. This is capped as our adventures are designed for solo travellers, and we want to encourage a dynamic where it’s authentic and easy to meet new, like-minded women on the trip. If a bigger friend group joins, the balance is off. If you have a larger group of friends who want to go on an adventure, you can book a private group tour – you can read more about these trips here.

The Gutsy Girls community is filled with fun and friendly women from all stages of life, and they all have one thing in common — they love an adventure. Typically, we’re joined by busy women looking for low-effort organisation, adventurous types whose usual mates can’t make a trip and even active retirees, who have loads of time to explore the world and meet new people. Around 65% of our guests are in their 30s and 40s.

You must be over 18 to join a Gutsy Girls adventure, but after that, age is not an issue – all we ask is that you’re up for the challenge, both physically and mentally!
