Rating Our Adventures

We think it's important for your enjoyment to choose an adventure that is suitable for your fitness level. Because we offer a wide variety of trips with so many different activities, we rate our trips by the level of condition we recommend you should be in to enjoy the trip. If you have any doubt about a trip's suitability, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Level 1: Easy

Trips with this rating require basic good health but no particular physical conditioning. You can opt out of some of the activities on the itinerary and thus have a more relaxed vacation, or you can do everything we offer and be as active as you choose. These adventures are ideal for women who are positive and

open-minded, and new to active vacations.
