Our Most Popular Tropical Destinations
Our tropical tours are some of our most popular trips and it’s easy to see why — pretty beaches, beachfront hotels, natural beauty (and we’re not just talking about our Explorer Chicks!), and active adventures. What’s not to like?!
Galapagos Islands: See ALL the Wildlife and Take in the Tropical Island Natural Beauty
Ready to experience once in a lifetime wildlife encounters with animals you didn’t even realize existed? Tour this famous destination while enjoying a variety of outdoor sports including cycling, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking.
Meet the locals and bask in the sun with your new gal pals making booby jokes and having some wild SHE-nanigans.
Belize: Explore Ancient Ruins, Glamp on the Beach, and Rappel from Waterfalls
This is tropical travel at its finest in Central America! You’ll snorkel in crystal clear waters, visit mayan ruins, stay in a rainforest eco-lodge, and glamp on a remote island with Instagrammable cabanas a stone’s throw from the beach. Can you say DREAM vacation spot?!
But that’s not all! We’ve added our signature Explorer Chick touch to this trip with options to snorkel, SUP, and swim with sea turtles and colorful fish in Glover’s Reef Marine Preserve. PLUS! Waterfall rappelling, zip-lining, and caving through Caribbean jungles.
Baja, Mexico: Take a Private Tropical Cruise and Enjoy All the Water Activities
This isn’t your grandma’s cruise with shuffleboard and evening shows! Instead, you’ll shuffle onto a surfboard or kayak and (if we’re lucky) get a show of marine bioluminescence from microscopic plankton in the water around you. We’ll snorkel with sea lions, swim with whale sharks, and camp and hike in the Sierra de Laguna. Margarita happy hour included.
By the end of this trip, your boat mates will feel like family and you’ll have tons of stories to tell everyone back home!
Dominican Republic: Take a Surf Lesson, Leap from Waterfalls, and Swing from a Trapeze
This 8-day multi-sport Dominican Republic adventure is your perfect tropical adventure paradise. We take this popular destination and turn the adrenaline volume WAYYYY up with surf lessons, flying trapeze, zip-lining, canyoning, and waterfall jumping.
Once your muscles are sore (in a good way), you can take a break to relax by the pool or attend evening open air yoga classes overlooking the ocean.

I just got back from Baja, and it was perfection, I literally wouldn’t change a thing, staying on a boat that felt like home, being around women that felt like family, it was truly amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

Guuuuuurl book that trip! ♀️
2016 was a bit of a rough year for me and was filled with some big life changes. To say the least I was not in a good place. I happened to come across EC randomly on the app Meetup and quickly started checking out all the adventures. I had never been out of the country before so the Dominican trip immediately caught my eye. It took me a few days, but finally decided I needed to go on this trip.
At first I was a little intimidated; I was a solo traveler on my first trip out of the country meeting up with women whom I’ve never met. But, the minute I arrived at the hotel and was greeted by a very enthusiastic Nicki that intimidation went away. This is the exact trip that I needed, and let me just say you’ll walk away feeling like such a complete BADASS!! My favorite part was probably the canyoning trip through Ciguapa Falls. It was a challenge and I loved it. I was sore the next day, but it was the good kind of sore.
I left the Dominican with new friends and feeling so empowered. This was such a great start to my 2017, and made me completely forget about my crappy 2016. Since then I’ve been on the overnight backpacking workshop to red river gorge, and I can’t wait for more EC adventures in the future!
