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.
1 . Zip across glaciers and soak in hot springs in Iceland
Iceland is not only one of the safest countries in the world, it also consistently ranks as one of the friendliest. Add to that its otherworldly natural beauty and abundance of outdoor adventures on offer and it’s the perfect destination for women travelling alone. Join a small group of culturally curious travellers on this five-day Iceland tour – which includes a private tour of the Golden Circle, a soak in the Blue Lagoon and glacier snowmobiling. If the conditions are suitable, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

2 . Island and bar-hopping on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast

Affordable, friendly, sun-soaked and packed with ancient towns lined with mazy cobbled streets, Croatia is a great choice when it comes to solo trips for women. On Culture Trip’s eight-day adventure along the Dalmatian coast, you’ll hop from the mainland to the islands and back, starting in Split and travelling south to Dubrovnik. Along the way, you’ll sample Hvar’s pulsating nightlife, relax on dreamy beaches on a trip to Vis island, try local wine at the vineyards around Lumbarda and plenty more. Our Local Insider will accompany your group throughout, showing you a side of Croatia most solo travellers don’t get to experience.

3 . 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.

4 . Mountains, martial arts and meditation in South Korea

You’ll receive a warm welcome wherever you go in South Korea, a country that prides itself on decorum and hospitality. On Culture Trip’s 10-day jaunt around this extraordinary country, you’ll get to know its unique culture – from singing with strangers in Seoul’s raucous karaoke bars to practising martial arts and meditation at a rural Buddhist temple. Along the way, you’ll take in spectacular mountain scenery, enjoy authentic meals with local families and learn about life over the border from a North Korean defector.

5 . 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.
