Top Trip Ideas for Women Traveling Alone
Travelling solo as a woman doesn’t need to be daunting – and on these Culture Trip adventures, you can share epic experiences with other like-minded travellers.
Travel for women tends to involve a few extra considerations, from the safety of a destination to easy access to facilities while on the road. While these factors are important, seeing the world solo is one of the most liberating experiences you can have – and there are always plenty of women travel groups to join. Whether you’re exploring Iceland’s frozen wilderness or relaxing on sun-drenched Croatian beaches, these small-group tours with Culture Trip are ideal for single female travellers.
Walk, swim and snorkel with wildlife on the Galapagos Islands
Make your solo trip one to remember by visiting one of the world’s most remote archipelagos: the Galapagos Islands. These volcanic islands, scattered across the eastern Pacific ocean around 1,000km (621mi) off the coast of mainland Ecuador, are home to an extraordinary abundance of wildlife that influenced Darwin’s theory of evolution. On this exclusive five-day trip, you’ll be based in Santa Cruz and San Cristobal – where you’ll meet giant tortoises, swim with sea lions, snorkel with penguins and hike across barren, lunar-like lava fields.
Ride the Hogwarts Express and sip whisky in Scotland
Scotland is safe, easy to navigate and filled with friendly rural communities surrounded by extreme natural beauty. Our seven-day Rail Trip showcases the country’s finest stretches of countryside from the comfort of train carriages, including the Caledonian sleeper and the Jacobite steam train – AKA the real-life Hogwarts Express. You’ll stop off on the Isle of Skye, Cairngorms National Park, Inverness and Edinburgh as you explore glassy lochs, mystical woodlands and old gothic streets, not to mention the customary whisky-tasting session at a local distillery.
