Finishing as high as we did, particularly among close industry colleagues like Adventure Canada who we partner with for some of our amazing small ship expeditions, affirms our purpose and fuels our passion to create journeys that celebrate women, cultures, and the joy of wild, active living.”

From exploring ancient wonders on Peru’s iconic Inca Trail or hiking in the Swiss Alps, to small ship expedition cruising in the Arctic and Antarctica, every trip is designed for women who love the outdoors and seek authentic experiences alongside a supportive, adventurous community of like-minded “Wild Women.”

“As one of the largest women-owned and operated adventure travel brands in the world, our mission has always been to create meaningful journeys that empower women, protect wild places, and honour the rich cultures we’re fortunate to engage with,” says Haddow. “This recognition is incredibly meaningful, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who voted for us.
