Question 1

I am a solo traveller, can I come by myself?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Most of our guests join solo. Wild Women Journeys was created to bring like-minded women together and give every woman the chance to go on her dream adventure, with or without friends.

No more waiting for your friends to get time off work, or for the dream travel partner to magically appear. Step out of your comfort zone and come along solo, we’ll be there to welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home.

Question 2

Am I too old to come on this trip?

Accepted Answer

We believe age is just a number! Whats more important is that you are open minded and ready for adventure. Most of our trips are far from luxurious, you can expect to be camping on a simple mat or hiking 10kms a day, so we do tend to attract a younger crowd with the average age being mid 20's - mid 40's, however we have had plenty of free spirited women in their 50's and 60's join us and fit right in.

Question 3

How fit do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

Most of our trips are adventure packed and include physical activity almost every days; so this does mean that a general level of fitness is required. However every trip is different, with some being very laid back like the Whitsundays Sailing Adventure, and some like Everest Base Camp obviously requireing more fitness. Please read the description on each trips we

Even if you do have some days where your body just isn't cooperating, we support and empower each other and will only ever move as fast as our slowest traveller. No one is left behind, unless in the case of serious medical emergencies where we will make sure you get the care you need.

Question 4

What will the food be like? I have dietary requirements.

Accepted Answer

Wild Women Journeys prides ourself on our high quality, tasty food. We can cater to any dietary requirement including vegetarian, vegan, GF, DF etc. There is an option to add your dietary requirement information on the booking form. Here is some examples of what meals may be:
 
Breakfasts: Cereal, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, hot foods like eggs/mushrooms/bacon (some days when we have time).
Lunch: Wraps, sandwiches, couscous salads, quinoa salad, burgers. 
Dinner: BBQ, curry, stir fries, burritos, pasta.
 
*Please note, food shopping for the whole trip is done the day before the trip, so if you have not listed a dietary requirment on your booking form we may not have enough of that type of food for you. Make sure you list your accurate dietary requirement, don't be worry about being "fussy"! We would rather know what you are and aren't going to eat so we can provide the right food.

Question 5

What is a swag?

Accepted Answer

Great question! Swags are a simple "bed roll" which is made of canvas with a foam mattress inside. On many of our adventures we choose to sleep in swags. This is because they are super comfy, weather resistant, and quick and easy to set up. In the outback, we generally dont use tents as there is no bugs, so we sleep outside just on the swags (yep, that means your sleeping outside!) Up north however in Kakadu we put our swags in tents so that we can have an escape from the mozzies. We also provide sleeping bags which you will sleep in side of in the swag.

Question 6

Will there be phone reception or wifi?

Accepted Answer

Every trip is different depending on where we are going, however, most of our trips are remote so reception is generally very limited. If you are concered and need to know exactly where/when you will have access to internet, contact us and we will be able to tell you.

Question 7

Do I have to pay the full amount up front?

Accepted Answer

Let’s take on the elephant in the room: MONEY!

We do our best to make Wild Women Journeys as accessible as possible and the truth is travel is the very best investment you can ever make into yourself. No we’re not just saying that to sell you a tour; we genuinely know the powerful impact that accomplishing a big trek, sailing the oceans, or canoeing a wild river with a group of likeminded women has on you.

Yes you, the girl seeing these amazing adventures on her phone and yearning for a taste of the big beautiful world. It’s right at your fingertips and we promise you won’t regret it!

We also work on a deposit now, pay later basis so don’t stress if you don’t have the full trip fee in your hands right now. You can bite it off in pieces, just like a yummy burrito … mmm burritos. Mexico, anyone?

Question 8

Do you do the same trips every year?

Accepted Answer

Most of them yes! We do our best to confirm the dates of trips with lots of time in advance so you can do what you need to be there. Some trips however don't get a repeat due to either supply issues (i.e accomodation already booked out) or because we didn't have enough participants to cover the cost.

If you see a trip you're obsessed and excited about our recommendation always is to take the leap and make the most of what's currently available so you don't miss out. Travelling is always full of surprises and no trip is exactly the same as the last! That's why we LOVE what we do and can't wait to share this life with you.

Question 9

How far in advance do you post trip dates?

Accepted Answer

We do our best to get organised for the year ahead as early as possible. We know most of you need time to request annual leave and save those dollars before coming on one of our epic adventures! We are still a very small team though so please be patient with us,  there is a lot that goes into our trips behind the scenes with local park fees, permissions / admin, organising additional facilitators and finding accomodation.

If you want to be the first to know about upcoming trips we recommend signing up to our email list on the home page for instant notifications!

Question 10

What happens if I get sick/injured during a trip?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry! All of our tour guides have been trained on how to handle emergency situations. If we're on an Australian trip, there are excellent medical services that can transport you to the nearest hospital if needed. For overseas trips, we also research ahead and educate ourselves on emergency services and will have all the right numbers to call along with first aid on hand.

If you get unwell on a trip and don't feel like you can continue, we will help you get back to the nearest city so you can get home and get better! We always recommend bringing lots of warm clothing as it can get very cold overnight in some places. It's also a good idea to have a small personal medical pack with cold and flu medications, regular painkillers, blister aids and disinfectant for any cuts and scratches.
