Frequently asked questions about women only tours

What about singles supplements for single travelers.

All the tour agencies we mentioned before, have this amazing thing in common! They want you to avoid paying a singles supplement as a single traveler.

Single travelers can either choose to pay a single supplement for a single room, but solo travelers are encouraged to share a room with a fellow traveler without paying a singles supplement.

I’m not from the US. Can I join these tours?

Yes! Most of the above mentioned travel agencies welcome international travelers. Even though we couldn’t find too many travel agencies with women only tours in Europe or for that manner, outside of the USA, you can still join the tours.

We contacted all of these agencies to ask them if international travelers are welcome. All of the agencies that replied to us, have answered positive to that question. So don’t let borders hold you back and just choose one of the amazing and adventurous tours and send them an inquiry!

Are these lesbian Travel Groups?

The Women Only travel groups mentioned in this article are not specific lesbian tours. Although many of these tour groups are frequently booked by single lesbian women or lesbian couples, they are not designed for lesbian women.

Women travel groups - Conclusion

There is obviously a need for tour arrangements for women only. During our research for this post, we noticed that all of these travel agencies sell out their tours amazingly quick! The concept is not only immensely popular, but it just works!

Another positive lesson we learned during our research is that these travel agencies not only organise women only tours. They also work towards the empowerment of women in the world. The travel world is a very male saturated market and women often have a difficult time finding their way and making it to the top.

For that reason, it’s very important that we have more and more women breaking through in this market. They strive to empower women worldwide. And they also provide valuable jobs for female guides, porters and hospital workers all over the world!

In this article, we gathered loads of tour agencies that focus on women only tours. We managed to find 26 awesome women travel groups and tour agencies. And we really hope you enjoyed this list!

The 10 Best Solo Female Travel Groups and Tours

07/05/2023 by Kristin Addis 3 Comments

Setting out alone to travel the world as a woman can be daunting. Whether it’s choosing a destination fit for first-timers or planning diligently around your safety concerns , there is plenty to consider before you make the leap to solo travel.

But what if there was an easier way to dip your toes into making your wanderlust dreams come true? Or what if there was a way to make solo travel less…solo?

Enter travel groups and tours. Now that solo female travel has become more popular than ever, new companies are emerging each year to offer women an alternative: traveling in a group. Group trips and tours vary widely, but a common thread is that they offer women the opportunity to meet other travelers and explore the world together without the added pressure of planning.

These are my top picks:

Table of Contents

1. BMTM Adventures

My own BMTM Adventures obviously makes the list! So far, we’ve taken over a hundred women on trips all around the world, from swimming with whales in French Polynesia to backpacking across glacial landscapes in Alaska and Patagonia. Focusing on unique and off-the-beaten-path destinations, this is the ideal choice for travelers who aren’t afraid to venture outside their comfort zone. I put my heart and soul into planning each and every trip.

This year’s destinations are Namibia & Botswana and French Polynesia . The Africa tour has an astrophotography and wildlife focus, and the other is all about whale watching and diving into Polynesian culture. (Past participants have been blown away by how up close and personal they can get with the animals without disturbing them.) Since I hand-pick each lodge, activity, and local guide on every trip, you can expect warm hospitality and a truly immersive experience, regardless of which adventure you choose.

2. Wander Women Retreats

Wander Women Retreats, founded by Alex in Wanderland , offers empowering experiences for solo female travelers. Its retreats combine wellness, adventure, and cultural exploration, providing a holistic approach to travel. Whether it’s practicing yoga on the serene beaches of Bali or diving in the deep seas of the Maldives , Wander Women Retreats create an environment in which personal growth and meaningful connections thrive.

This year, Wander Women Retreats will head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida , and also offer two unique trips to Egypt! You can also book a virtual retreat if you want a taste of Wander Women before hopping on an in-person tour.

3. TBA Escapes

TBA Escapes specializes in boutique and luxury experiences designed for adventurous solo female travelers . Its itineraries span unique destinations worldwide, allowing participants to embark on thrilling activities, such as sandboarding in Morocco or hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa .

I love that TBA Escapes includes a whole page dedicated to testimonials from past participants . These excited me about the trip offerings, because the reviews are absolutely glowing! TBA Escapes is currently accepting reservations for its 2024 offerings to the Galápagos Islands, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, and Morocco. How can a girl choose?!

4. Girls That Scuba

Girls That Scuba is a vibrant community and travel resource for women scuba divers. Alongside its informative articles and resources, it organizes dive trips catered specifically to solo female travelers. These trips provide the opportunity to explore breathtaking dive sites while connecting with fellow female divers who share the same passion for the underwater world.

The beauty of Girls That Scuba is its wide range of offerings for every skill level. You can join a freediving training retreat in Mexico , or dive head first (pun intended) into the Red Sea in Jordan for a fully immersive experience. So immerse yourself in the beauty of the ocean and form lifelong friendships on a Girls That Scuba trip.

5. Trafalgar

First Name:

Trafalgar’s women’s travel division specializes in curating enriching group experiences for solo female travelers and tend to cater to a boomer crowd. Its itineraries focus on cultural immersion, encounters with residents, and unique insights into each destination. From exploring the ancient ruins of Greece to discovering the vibrant markets of Morocco, Trafalgar offers a supportive and inclusive environment for female travelers seeking more comforts on their trips.

The history and culture enthusiast in me craves being fully immersed in a culture the way Trafalgar promises. Some of my favorite travel experiences include hands-on experiences like this, so I recommend Trafalgar to anyone most excited about the opportunity to be surrounded by new sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and more!

Upcoming trips include Ireland, France, Egypt, Jordan, and Scandinavia, and the website makes it super easy to choose one, because you can see recent reviews and a full itinerary for each trip before you book.

6. REI Adventures – Women’s Trips

REI Adventures has a range of outdoorsy trips designed specifically for women. They’re all about hands-on activities and active exploration, and the itineraries are tailored to empower women through physical challenges. Try backpacking for the first time , or a kayaking adventure with REI Adventures, and join a group of like-minded women ready to conquer new horizons.

Since trekking alone can be anxiety-inducing for many women, REI Adventures is an opportunity to connect with the outdoors without worrying about safety. My women love hiking but often get spooked when out on a trail by themselves, which keeps many from doing longer backpacking trips . That’s why REI Adventures makes my list of the best solo female travel groups and tours. Upcoming trips include hiking in Bryce Canyon , backpacking along the Pacific Crest Trail, and kayaking in the San Juan Islands.

7. AdventureWomen

AdventureWomen is a pioneer in women-only adventure travel (as the name implies), offering a wide range of active and immersive tours for solo female travelers. From hiking the iconic Inca Trail to cultural explorations in Iceland , AdventureWomen provides opportunities for women of all ages to discover the world while building lifelong friendships. Embrace your adventurous spirit with AdventureWomen, and join hundreds of other women in making their travel dreams come true.

Adventure Women has the widest range of offerings I’ve seen anywhere else. You can choose from trips on nearly every continent. Some of the upcoming trips, like this cruise in Croatia , are more laid-back. Then there are more intense adventures, like this trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro .

8. Intrepid Travel’s Women’s Expeditions

Intrepid Travel’s Women’s Expeditions focuses on empowering women while providing unique cultural experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Whether you’re exploring the ancient ruins of Jordan or discovering the vibrant cities of India, these expeditions offer a supportive and educational environment for female travelers. Intrepid offers the chance to join a diverse group of women from around the world and embark on a life-changing adventure.

Intrepid has a great reputation for organizing meaningful trips that inspire connection, which is why its expeditions excite me so much! There’s even a 12-day trip to Iran , which is the most unusual offering I’ve seen so far.

9. Wild Women Expeditions

Feeling a little…wild? Wild Women Expeditions specializes in immersive adventure travel experiences, such as kayaking in the Canadian wilderness or hiking in the Himalayas . These expeditions allow solo female travelers to challenge themselves in awe-inspiring natural environments. Discover your inner wild woman and join a community of adventurous souls on a journey that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired.

Like me, you might feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of trips available through Wild Women Expeditions. On the destinations page , you’ll see options all over the globe, so choosing just one might be tricky. There’s even a trip to Antarctica , which is a rare find!

10. Purposeful Nomad

This one is for you if you’re keen on diving deep into a new culture. Purposeful Nomad offers immersive travel experiences that combine adventure, culture, and social impact. You can explore vibrant markets in India, participate in community-based projects in Peru, and so much more. Purposeful Nomad also provides opportunities to volunteer during your trip, adding an extra layer of intention and meaning. You’ll get to connect with a community of like-minded women seeking meaningful travel experiences, too.

I love the unique social impact model of Purposeful Nomad, and the upcoming trips look incredible. From the Ngorongoro Crater to the Galápagos Islands , there are plenty of options to choose from.

When it comes to finding the best solo female travel groups and tours, the world truly is your oyster. Traveling completely alone is an incredible experience, but sometimes a girl needs to be in community with others while on the road.

Each group or tour brings its unique flair, catering to different travel styles and preferences. Whether you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping adventures, cultural immersions, or personal growth, those listed here are designed to enhance your journey.

So, which one will you choose?

Atlas adventures!!

I wanted to let you know about my experience with Girls Guide to the World before you recommend them to anyone else. It has been a nightmare…

I signed up to go on what I thought would be the trip of a lifetime to sail in Thailand in April 2024. The trip was two 44 foot catamarans with a private chef, 8 women and two captains. Before I signed up for the trip I spoke with the owner at length and was assured that everything would be perfect. The trip would be very safe with the two boats and so many participants.

Only one other person signed up for the trip and because the owner of the company did not want to lose her deposit, she decided that there would be only 1 boat, two paying travelers and that she would go along with her cousin. I do not feel it is even safe to sail around in a small sailboat alone with just a few women. When I sent an email to her in January expressing my concerns she ignored it. Only when I informed her that I would not be paying the balance of my trip did she contact me. She has continued to refused to cancel the trip, refused to refund or transfer my $2600 deposit to another trip and then sent an email out offering a discount of $1400 for anyone else to take my place. That $1400 discount was actually part of my deposit.

The website clearly states that if In the highly unusual event that Girls’ Guide to the World has to reschedule or cancel a trip, we will offer you the option of a) Joining us on the rescheduled trip at a later date (we will make every effort to pick new dates that work for everyone), b) applying your payment(s) towards a different trip, or c) receiving a full refund. Based on the fact that this trip was not at all what was advertised I believe it should have been cancelled and I should have been given the opportunity to choose a, b or c. Instead they decided to keep my deposit and move forward with one paying traveler.

This company clearly cares only about the bottom line in my opinion. I would never recommend them ever to anyone! Buyer beware!

10 Adventure Travel Groups for Women

Ranging from hardcore outdoor adventures to luxe glamping-style getaways, these trips have a no-guys-allowed policy.

Lila Harron Battis is a freelance writer and editor. She was previously a senior editor at Travel + Leisure .

Girls just want to have fun — in the wilderness, that is. That's the idea behind these travel groups for women and nonbinary adventurers. Whether you're a thrill seeker keen to kayak some rapids or a wellness enthusiast more interested in practicing your yoga poses in the serene outdoors, there's a female-focused trip or retreat for you.

With the guidance of these adventure tour operators, you can learn a new skill, conquer a physical challenge, explore new surroundings, and meet some amazing people along the way. So buckle your helmet for a days-long cycling trip or strap into your harness to take on a scenic climbing route with a supportive group.

Adventures in Good Company

This tour company specializes in small-group expeditions in more than 100 destinations on every continent except Antarctica. Adventures include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, camping on the Sea of Cortez, and kayaking in Greenland. Trips are categorized by activity level, on a scale of one to five, ranging from gentle activities for beginners to itineraries for the very fit. Adventures in Good Company welcomes all women — including trans women — and nonbinary people "who identify with the women’s community."

AdventureWomen

Operating since 1982, this trusted female-focused group leads hikes through the Himalayan Mountains, transports travelers to the Galápagos Islands by private yacht, and facilitates multisport adventures in the Canadian Rockies, among some 60 other options. You might opt to go alone and meet new friends or treat your mom to one of its mother-daughter trips . Tours range from moderate to active, high-energy, and challenging.

Balanced Rock

Balanced Rock hosts groups of women in Yosemite National Park. These trips lean less toward the adventurous and more toward the spiritual, "inspir[ing] healing and wellness through yoga, hiking, Ayurveda, creative expression, and community." The nonprofit runs a variety of programs throughout the year, including annual Women of Color retreats. Trips are for "any individual who self-identifies as trans, woman, nonbinary, intersex, two-spirit, and/or genderqueer."

Damesly trips — ranging from Cuba to Bhutan, Uzbekistan, the Grand Canyon, and beyond — cater to "creative and professional women" between 30 and 65, though any woman 21 or older can join. Offerings include high-energy adventures and self-discovery workshops alike. The groups are kept small (12 maximum), making for an intimate experience. And you can bet this women-owned business supports as many females as possible along the way.

Explorer Chick

Explorer Chick 's trips include hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, and sometimes even whiskey tours, glamping, or survival workshops. Destinations range from Uganda to Patagonia to Croatia, among many others. Women of all ages are welcome as long as they're physically capable of the itinerary. The only demographics this group discriminates against are "mean girls" and "Debbie Downers."

Fit & Fly

Instructor-led daily workouts anchor Fit & Fly retreats to sunshiny locales like Bali, Morocco, and Mexico City (also Iceland — not so sunshiny). Fitness opportunities might include a surf lesson, a glacier hike, or yoga in the desert. Accommodations are high-end and comfortable — ideal for post-workout recovery — and time outside of "class" often involves good food and spa treatments.

REI Women's Adventures

The outdoor retailer REI invites any traveler who identifies as a woman on adventures in U.S. national parks and beyond. Choose between backpacking in Joshua Tree, kayaking in the San Juan Islands, camping in Bryce Canyon, section hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and more. You won't need a passport for any of them. Activity levels for said trips range from two ("easy active") to five ("strenuous"). One major selling point of an REI Women's Adventure ? Members get a discounted price.

WHOA Travel

The concept of WHOA is apparent in the name: "Women High On Adventure." These itineraries are for women who want to climb mountains. This is your chance to hike to great heights in Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand, to ice climb a volcano in Iceland, or to scale a trio of peaks in Ecuador. Tours are also offered in Patagonia, Antarctica, Peru, and more. Some trips, billed as WHOA Plus, are just for "curvy" or plus-sized women.

Wild Women Expeditions

This Canada-based tour operator welcomes wild women "of all ages, sexual orientations, and identities" on trips in every corner of the world. Adventures might include taking a dinghy to see Greenland's glaciers up close, horseback riding in Mongolia, or sailing the Nile River in Egypt. Wild Women Expeditions has hosted girls and women from eight to 86 in more than 30 countries and on every continent.

Intrepid Travel Women's Expeditions

Intrepid Travel is the biggest adventure travel company — and one of the most eco-conscious, earning the reputable B Corporation certification for its social and environmental efforts. It isn't totally women-focused, but it does host a number of women-only adventures to Jordan, Pakistan, India, Morocco, and beyond. These trips are specifically designed to create immersive, hands-on experiences such as traditional weaving in Morocco's Amejgag village and cooking with Tibetan refugees in Nepal. On these expeditions, visitors get the chance to support female employment opportunities and women-owned businesses.

This was my third tour with SoFe, and I would rate this tour a 10/10. The group of Goddess I was with were AWESOMENESS. We all interacted together like we were friends for years." - AIYEEHA

I met 12 amazing women and made new friends from all over the world by going on one trip! I keep in touch with them still. I would recommend taking a SoFe trip if you are looking for some adventure, relaxation, knowledge, and like minded women to travel with! - SAMANTHA

I went to one trip as of now and the overall experience was excellent and with a lot of fun involved. Wish to travel more with Wander Womaniya in near future!

Female solo travel ​ We organize women-only travel group trips where any female can join solo. We have felt an inherent need to provide this platform to women in the light of providing a safe, secure, and healthy environment for self-expression, freedom, and travel. And we're more than happy to empower Indian Women with endless travel opportunities through our women travel groups. We have carefully churned out and planned the most amazing travel packages for solo travelling in India for women. At Wander Womaniya we aim at helping every woman traveller to explore & experience Incredible India freely, without worrying about safety & security. ​​ Wander Womaniya firmly believes that solo travel is a builder of character and an exploration of our own selves. We are trying to empower Indian women through our ladies-only domestic tours. We curate unique experiences for girls travelling solo in India which are affordable & yet do not compromise on hygiene and comfort. Furthermore, we aim to unchain both women & girls alike from orthodox roles they have long been tied to by assisting them to travel without being dependent on their family. When you are travelling with Wander Womaniya, you are your own self; you are no longer a sister or a mother or a daughter. We might not have noticed, but Indian women are still carrying out the burden of responsibilities even while they are on a holiday. ​​ Travelling alone in India comes with many unwanted advances and situations, we eliminate these and make sure that girls travelling with us can focus on exploring India while we take care of all the hurdles which accompany travelling alone.

WHY TRAVEL WITH BGTT!

“There are no strangers in here, just friends you haven’t met yet”

This is one of the most highly regarded concepts about our BGTT journeys. “As they say, there are no random meetings in our lives, everyone we encounter has been put in our paths for a reason. We are intentional in our efforts to cultivate a sense of sisterhood in each journey we make with our tribe of ladies. With opportunities to venture to shops solo or navigate the town with the girls, dining together over delectable meals or mingling with the locals, you’re provided the freedom to run your own race, but together! You can be assured the vibe is genuine love, and experiential bonding. From the connections made, it isn’t uncommon for our ladies to link up after we return to the states, collaborate on business and even journey together again on another BGTT trip.

SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT

“Realize who you are and the game will change”

Traveling can be an intimidating experience for women, which is reason enough for us to proactively confront those potential barriers with the most beautiful hotels, reputable transportation, delicious cuisine, professional photography and so much more. Leaving you seeking new challenges, loving yourself more and soaking up the cultural experiences around you. Our previous travelers credit their experience for proving to themselves they’re stronger then they imagine, and it’s no secret, empowered women empower women.

NEW FOUND PERSPECTIVE

“Different cultures, shifting perspectives”

Many people associate travel with therapy and with good reason. Often challenged with dilemma’s and nuisances of daily life, dwelling on issues can deteriorate our mindset and overall well-being. Physically, separating yourself from a familiar place has an immense value to your perspective. Stepping away from normalcy will be a huge relief, you are deserving of. You won’t realize how good it feels to release, until you do just that and return to your daily life relaxed, refreshed and renewed.

CONSIDER IT HANDLED (CIH)

Embedding an inclusivity standard for all your future travels to live up to may or may not have been our intent with this one! If this is your first time traveling with BGTT you’ll love us for the peace of mind we offer by purposely arranging your transportation needs, stay accommodations activities and meals for you. Leaving you on cruise control to focus on making memories, and consider everything else, handled.

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER

The scenery, the cuisine, the people and the lifestyle in Cuba is simply magical and will challenge your comfort zones. Adventure from our predictable environments has so much potential to transform us for the better, expanding our self-knowledge, cultural appreciation and comfort zones making for the opportunity to consciously increase self-confidence.

LEAVE BETTER

Slipping into roles of complacency are often unintentional and unrecognizable. Let’s just be honest, life happens and so can shifts in our identity. After an empowering experience with BGTT you’re harvest from purposely investing in your inner wealth and health will leave you dripping inspiring girl magic and empowering other women to do the same.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF VOLUNTOURISM?

25 Affordable Girls' Trip Ideas That Will Convince You to Finally Plan That Getaway

Posted: May 9, 2024 | Last updated: May 9, 2024

Remember the old days, when getting the girls together for a getaway was as easy as piling in the car with a few bathing suits, some snacks, and a sense of adventure? These days, it's not so easy: Often, female friendships require intricate coordination with spouses, kids, jobs — and all the trappings of serious adulting. (Womp, womp.)

But travel is the ultimate bonding experience for best friends and an amazing way to recharge and refocus. So it's a goal well worth prioritizing, despite the challenges involved with logistics and coordination. These girls' trip ideas include something for every group — whether you're all about adventure, relaxation, city sightseeing, or wandering off the grid. Our picks include both far-flung destinations, and plenty of domestic travel options that require no passport (or jet lag) at all. And these girls trip ideas include options for every group's budget , from wallet-friendly road trips to bucket-list international travels.

No matter where you go, you're sure to have a life-affirming, laughter-inspiring, friendship-rejuvenating good time. So get to booking and make it happen — no excuses!

Ready to get packing? Don't forget to check out our picks for the best luggage on Amazon , and best travel dresses to pack for every destination.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas has long been a hot spot for bachelorette parties and wild girls' nights out on the town and for good reason. The Strip is only a few minutes from the airport and home to upscale hotels, the must-see dancing Fountains of Bellagio , mainstream restaurants, and no shortage of shows. Get the girls together for a baller group stay at Sky Suites at Aria , with its own food and drinks lounge and airport transportation included.

Rome, Italy

Focus on the “eat” of an eat, pray, love-style getaway with a girls trip to the Eternal City. Visit the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Sistine Chapel, and more — all with ample stops for pizza, pasta, gelato, and vino, of course. Stay at the Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese with its Settimo restaurant and lounge bar on the roof terrace, overlooking all the splendor of the city.

Maui, Hawaii

The beaches and turquoise waters make for a dreamy and relaxing getaway, and the lively dining, pool, and shopping scenes combine for the ultimate girls trip. Stay at the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea to live out The White Lotus experience IRL. And make a plan for the new experience, A Wayfinder's Journey , led by the distinguished female Hawaiian navigator Kala Baybayan Tanaka aboard a private catamaran.

Palm Springs, California

Palm Springs and its environs all around the Southern California desert region make for a girls trip packed with fun under the sun and swaying palms. (Definitely pack that SPF!) The Thompson Palm Springs hotel is readying for a chic opening. Or in Indian Wells, get your splash on in the lazy river with two enormous water slides at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells . (Don’t forget to snap your social media selfies in front of the “Desert Vibes Only” neon wall!)

New York City, New York

There's a lot to see in NYC. Luckily, you can see almost all of it from the observation deck at The Edge . And if you and your girls are looking for a real thrill, you can even sign up to scale the building . It's the perfect bonding moment for any group dedicated to new challenges and conquering fears. Then, spend the rest of the trip exploring the various shows, restaurants, and boat tours available.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The iconic Rocky Steps , photos at the Liberty Bell , and drinks at the bar in the Four Seasons Hotel are all great stops for a girls' trip in Philly.

For a bucket list trip, Fiji is more accessible than you think: It’s the same distance from the U.S. West Coast as London via nonstop flight. Stay at Vomo Island Fiji for spa, scuba, snorkeling, and incredible South Pacific cuisine.

Baltimore, Maryland

When it comes to sightseeing, you can't go wrong with a stop at the Baltimore Inner Harbor , home to the Maryland Science Center , the National Aquarium , Top of the World Observation Level , and amazing seafood dining.

Downtown Dubai isn't just home to the world's tallest man-made structure, the Burj Khalifa. It's home to a guaranteed glamorous girls' trip experience, with modern architecture, luxury shopping, and pristine beaches. It's also home to plenty of Real Housewives lore, if your group loves Bravo. And it's where Beyoncé famously performed at the opening of the new Atlantis The Royal .

Ocean City, Maryland

If your friend circle consists of mom friends who are sick of cleaning up after other people, they'll enjoy the beaches of Ocean City. The locale is ranked amongst the cleanest in America. For oceanfront and in- ocean dining, Seacrets is a local favorite.

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Lighthouses, The African American Heritage Trail , and access to seafood make this charming location a top pick for a trip with the girls.

Newport, Rhode Island

Those who dream about living the mansion life will love a trip to Newport to expand on that fantasy. The town is famous for the mansions along Bellevue Avenue . Book a stay at Gurney's Resort for some R&R and Instagram-worthy photos lounging by the pool.

Savannah, Georgia

Friend groups dreaming of living like a Southern belle won't be disappointed with a trip to Savannah. People come for the Southern charm and stay for the horse-drawn carriages, bed and breakfasts, and river boat cruises.

Charleston, South Carolina

Cobblestone streets, boardwalks, and The Pineapple Fountain are amongst the landmarks great for tourists and girlfriends looking for some fun photo spots.

New Orleans, Louisiana

When a hit movie called Girls Trip takes place in this travel hot spot, it only makes sense you follow suit with a girls' trip of your own. Besides being home to the Essence Festival , New Orleans is known for the sounds of soul and the infusion of French cuisine. In short, there will never be a dull moment on a trip here.

Catalina Island, California

Just off the coast of California, this getaway is well known by natives of the state and the perfect place to head to for anyone who prefers to escape the crowds of Los Angeles (...for island crowds, when summertime demand swells the lively beaches and restaurants here). The 22-mile island is easily traveled by foot or golf cart. It's home to diving, paddling, a casino, several spas, and plenty of reasons to relax and disconnect.

Houston, Texas

Houston may be well known for its space center and museums, but it's also the perfect spot for hitting the trails. The Buffalo Bayou has several hundred acres of park land. Rent a canoe, see the hidden art, and paddle through downtown Houston as you admire the natural beauty. If you and your girls are kids at heart, take the hour and a half drive down to adults-only waterpark The Cove at BearX . Or, enjoy a wine tasting at Pur Noire Urban Wineries or Sable Gate Winery .

Chicago, Illinois

Chicago is home to rooftop bars, rich history, and a captivating architecture boat tour that's sure to impress. The best part is, its central location makes finding direct flights a breeze for the most part. For friends looking for a high-class experience, a stay at the Sofitel Chicago and shopping along the Magnificent Mile can provide a healthy dose of luxury.

Pigeon Point, Tobago

For the crew who's had enough of the typical Caribbean tourist attractions, Tobago is a hidden gem not to be missed. It's located north of the main island of Trinidad and home to Buccoo Reef and lush rainforests perfect for bird watching. Not to be missed is the Nylon Pool — a naturally made pool surrounded by white sand in the middle of the ocean safe enough for visitors to swim in and enjoy. Spend the night at the secluded Bacolet Beach Club after indulging in some curry chicken and roti.

Nassau, Bahamas

The Bahamas is a no-brainer decision for friends living on the East Coast. The ease in finding short direct flights makes planning a stress-free experience — something all busy friends can appreciate. Once there, head to the Junkanoo Museum to learn more about Bahamian culture.

Barcelona, Spain

A girls' night in your hometown at a favorite restaurant surrounded by tapas and drinks isn't an uncommon experience, so why not experience them where it all started? Book the Original Tapas Crawl Adventure to find out more about (and taste!) the local food and drinks.

Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Dining at juice bars, surf lessons, and experiencing the butterfly conservatory are among the popular activities for girlfriends to engage during a getaway to magical Costa Rica.

Niagara Falls, Canada

Niagara Falls has no shortage of splash zones and adventures. Zip lining, Maid of the Mist boat tours, and a trip to the observation deck leave little room for boredom. Raise a glass to the memories made over a glass of the popular Canadian varietal, ice wine.

Charlestown, Nevis

Anyone who is addicted to the soundtrack from the Broadway musical Hamilton (and who isn't?) is in for a surprise during a girls' trip to the island of Nevis. Lovers of the show will appreciate the opportunity to visit the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, known as The Hamilton House . Then, relish in the rich history that led to the captivating story during an amazing West Indian dinner at Bananas restaurant .

Riviera Maya, Mexico

If staying at an all-inclusive resort is a must for your girlfriend getaway, look no further than Mexico. Dreams Resort , Excellence , and Grand Palladium are some of the top choices for all-inclusive stays in the area.

Group of teenage girls wreak havoc on train

A group of teenage girls is wreaking havoc on an Adelaide train line, with one victim too scared to travel by herself anymore.

A group of 12 to 15-year-old girls has been accused of wreaking havoc and assaulting commuters on an Adelaide train line.

The group has been threatening and terrorising commuters on the Seaford train line for the past few weeks, 9 News reports.

An Adelaide mother confronted the teenage girls after they allegedly attacked her 17-year-old daughter on Wednesday evening.

She was alerted to the incident after she received SOS text messages from her daughter who said she was being robbed.

“They were saying give me your bag, give me your phone, give me your glasses,” the mother told 9 News.

“Grabbed her by the hair, pulled her head backwards and started punching her.

“As a mother, it makes me feel helpless.”

A South Australia Police spokesperson confirmed that police were investigating the alleged assault.

“Just after 6.15pm Wednesday 1 May, a teenage girl was assaulted on the Seaford Line train by a group of girls unknown who attempted to steal her bag and phone,” the spokesperson confirmed.

“The female victim received minor injuries.”

The spokesperson said police were reviewing CCTV footage, and all three suspects had long brown hair and were aged between 12 and 15.

“One suspect was described as being of Aboriginal appearance,” the spokesperson said.

“One suspect was wearing denim jeans and a light grey coloured jumper, while another was wearing light blue shorts and a white hoodie.

“The third suspect was wearing black leggings and a black hoodie.”

Anyone with any information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimesstopperssa.com.au.

Another alleged victim, Avari Geschmay, 19, told 9 News that she believed she was attacked by the same group of girls when she was leaving Seaford train station on Tuesday evening.

Ms Geschmay alleges she was followed by the gang and punched in the back of her head by one girl.

“They were following behind me, towards the car, kicking my bag, which had all my electronics,” she said.

“But once I got in the car, one of the girls started punching me in the back of my head.

“I won’t be able to use the train station by myself anymore because anything could happen to me.

More Coverage

“You don’t think that it’s going to be younger people that would do stuff like that.”

A South Australia Police spokesperson confirmed that police were investigating an alleged assault on a woman at Seaford train station at about 7pm by three teenage girls on Tuesday evening.

The spokesperson said police were not sure yet if the two incidents were linked.

Federal Judge Says Pro-Abortion Groups Can Sue Alabama Attorney General

Friends Read Free

A federal judge said May 6 that Alabama would be violating the Constitution if it prosecuted organizations seeking to help women obtain out-of-state abortions.

Two pro-abortion organizations—Yellowhammer Fund and West Alabama’s Women Center—are suing Attorney General Steve Marshall after he indicated during an interview that individuals could be prosecuted if they facilitate out-of-state abortions that are illegal in Alabama. The state has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, making it a felony for anyone to perform an abortion absent a medical emergency.

In a preliminary ruling, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, allowed the organizations’ lawsuit to proceed while dismissing two of their claims against the attorney general’s office.

Judge Thompson allowed claims about free speech and the right to travel to proceed.

Post-Dobbs Abortion Landscape

The ruling has raised questions about how women might access abortion when their unborn child’s gestational age exceeds the limit for abortions in a their respective states.

Judge Thompson’s ruling quoted Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose concurring opinion in Dobbs argued that the decision didn’t foreclose interstate travel.

“As I see it, some of the other abortion-related legal questions raised by today’s decision are not especially difficult as a constitutional matter,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote. “For example, may a State bar a resident of that State from traveling to another State to obtain an abortion? In my view, the answer is no based on the constitutional right to interstate travel.”

Judge Thompson wrote that the case before him was “simply about how a State may not prevent people within its borders from going to another State, and from assisting others in going to another State, to engage in lawful conduct there. Alabama can no more restrict people from going to, say, California to engage in what is lawful there than California can restrict people from coming to Alabama to do what is lawful here.”

He withheld judgement on whether the Yellowhammer Fund organization enjoyed a right to travel but said prosecution would violate Yellowhammer Fund clients’ right to travel.

Interstate Travel

His motion added that “it is well settled that speech used to conduct a crime receives no constitutional protection; the same is true for the right to associate.”

In his ruling, Judge Thompson said the attorney general couldn’t regulate speech in furtherance of an act that would be lawful in another state.

Idaho passed a similar law that prevents individuals from helping a minor cross state lines to obtain an abortion. A federal judge halted it in November.
