This was one of my hiking trips of a lifetime! Peru is absolutely beautiful and Melanie with ChicasAbroad made sure everything was taken care of for a stupendous experience! The hiking was phenomenal albeit challenging. Just proved that you can do difficult things, especially with the support of Melanie and all the Chicas hiking with me. Daniel, our guide that Melanie found was THE BEST guide I have ever had on any previous trips on my own. Melanie does not miss a beat and I rest assured knowing that she takes care of everything. The hotels and lodges we stayed in were wonderful! If you are thinking about traveling to a destination, utilize ChicasAbroad to join a trip or plan a trip of your own! Top of the line service and experience!!!! Can't wait to go on another one. This was my third trip with ChicasAbroad!

By Patricia M for Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, & Inca Trail Adventure on Aug 25, 2025

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review, Pat! 🌟 It means the world to know that your Peru adventure felt like a trip of a lifetime. The hiking there is definitely challenging, but you showed so much strength and determination—and I’m so glad you felt supported by me, our wonderful group of Chicas, and of course, Daniel (we agree, he’s truly the best!). It’s always my goal to make sure every detail is taken care of so you can focus on the experience itself, and I’m so happy that came through. Knowing this was your third trip with Chicas Abroad makes it even more special—we absolutely can’t wait to share another adventure with you soon! 💛✨ - Melanie

What an incredible amazing time I had with the women who guided and attended the San Juan Islands August 2025 trip. It was challenging to kayak and camp the way I did but I have immense gratitude for that experience. The women were all so wonderful and the trip was so well-organized. I 100% recommend Chicas Abroad plus also I will be looking at future trips. Thank you so much!

By Teresa (Terry) F for San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking Adventure on Aug 25, 2025

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful feedback, Terry! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the San Juan Islands adventure and embraced both the challenge and the joy of kayaking and camping. The community of amazing women is truly what makes these trips so special, and we’re grateful you were part of it. We can’t wait to welcome you on another Chicas Abroad journey soon!

The Apostle Islands Kayak Camping trip is definitely for folks who can appreciate a physical/ mental challenge in the outdoors and are prepared to expect the unexpected from Mother Nature. I am new to camping and had limited paddling experience, but found my stride while experiencing an epic adventure with a great group of friendly and supportive woman, all unknown to me prior to enrolling. The trip was enhanced by the excellent , professional and experienced guides who prioritized the group’s safety and well-being, prepared delish snacks and meals, and taught many newbies like myself how to navigate a persnickety but beautiful Lake Superior. I learned quite a lot about backcountry camping fundamentals that I will carry with me on my next outing, and I returned home feeling so much gratitude and respect for these women, the water, and the wilds of this rotating rock we call Earth. Thank you Maddy, Abby, Gitchie Gumee, and the Chicas Team, for the opportunity to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience and education.

By Peggy K for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Sea Kayaking Adventure on Jul 08, 2025

Thank you for your review, Peggy. We are glad you enjoyed your time in the Apostle Islands and learned new skills.

An amazing trip with amazing women! Melanie and Tygra provided us with a great experience, taking care of the details so we could absorb and enjoy the wonderful scenery. This trip has been on my bucket list and thanks to Chicas Abroad, I can now cross it off! So glad I did it!

What a treat to just show up and enjoy a fun filled weekend in Walla Walla! This was my first trip with Chicas Abroad and it did not disappoint. Melanie created an itinerary that provided opportunities to be active as well as some down time. We rode bikes to the wineries with a guide, attended the balloon stampede, hiked, ate delicious meals, and enjoyed each other's company. I am already looking forward to my next Chicas Abroad trip.
