For nearly 20 years, women have come to Wild Women Expeditions for fun, adventure and relaxation. Formed out of a spirit of adventure and deep respect for Canada's wilderness, Wild Women Expeditions attracts women from around the world. Our relaxed atmosphere reflects our trust in the women in our groups and in the natural environment. Most years, you can adventure with us on Canada’s east and west coasts, the Rockies, Manitoba and Northern Ontario from June to October.
We supply the equipment, delicious food, friendly, experienced guides and an amazing group of women as we travel through the spectacular coastlines, lakes, rivers, and trails of Canada.
Whether "retreating" or "adventuring", relish the fun, supportive atmosphere of an all-women's group and let us take care of the details. We hope you enjoy our offering of all-women adventure vacations this year.
Warmly,
Beth Mairs, Director
