Had a wonderful day at the wellness retreat at Whitworth Darley Dale. We had a lovely mindful walk bathing in the fresh air and socialising with mind like ladies, after we had a delicious lunch consisting of home made soup and wraps with salad and fruits. Then we did relaxing yoga , couldn't ask for more, was a perfect day thanks to Sarah and Julie. Even got to hug a tree 🌳
Have had the most amazing time in Morocco with Women Outdoors! Emma was a fabulous host ensuring we were all okay and accommodating our individual needs. Met the most incredible and inspiring women who made these few days even more special.
The food, sunset, riding and sand boarding were AMAZING! Now booking 2026 adventures! Thank you Women Outdoors for creating a safe space x
Just had a wonderful five day trip to Morocco. So much fun and met some lovely people. Emma is so organized whilst being calm and accommodating for all our different needs and requests. She really knows her stuff and had gone above and beyond to give us all experiences which were showing us the real Morocco, rather than just a standard tourist trip. Traditional food, local people and an amazing range of adventures; surfing, horse riding, camel riding, desert sand boarding and wild swimming in the mountains to name a few.
Already wondering what I'll book next!
Thank you!
I joined the group on the Yorkshire Three Peaks and it was a fabulous weekend. It was organised really well, all the leaders and host made us feel very welcome and put us all at ease! It was a such a challenge but the guidance we had made all the difference! The group of ladies were so inspirational and everyone supported each other, real show of team work and resilience. Will be booking another hike for sure! Thank you team! ☺️
Just got back from Norway, what an amazing experience and I loved it. It was challenging but so rewarding. The accommodation was amazing with stunning scenery and amazing hosts who were happy to meet all our needs and supported us all to get the most of our time there . Amazing group who all supported each other and you never felt alone. I didn’t want to leave. Emma events are always so supporting and this was my six event and I can’t wait to do more . Thank you
Just back from the amazing Women Outdoors trip to Norway. It was truly fabulous! Every day was full of adventure - from demanding hiking to Via Ferrata to white water rafting to rope bridge crossing. Absolutely epic!
Our hosts and guides were brilliant, always looking out for us and tailoring things if required to people’s ability, but still challenging us every day.
A great bunch of like minded ladies of all ages, we laughed and had fun together all week.
Emma put together a fabulous trip for us and looked after us at all times. Accommodation was lovely in beautiful setting. A life changing trip - thank you Emma and your Norway team! I’m definitely coming on another Women Outdoors adventure!
Just back from an epic trip in Norway with Women Outdoors! Perfect mix of adventure and downtime—hiking, white-water rafting, via ferrata, yoga, and wild swimming. The scenery was stunning, the local guides were brilliant, and the group was so welcoming. Can’t wait to go again!
Wow what a week 😍 I’ve just returned from the Norway trip and can honestly say it’s one if not the best places I’ve ever been. The whole week was jam packed with new experiences, rafting, via ferrata, hikes and more.
I’ve made such good friends and enjoyed spending time with like minded people from different walks of life. 🗻
We loved it that much we hope to return next year for the winter trip!!❄️
Thanks to Emma, camille and Honza especially for such great organisation. Can’t wait for the next !
I am currently on the flight home from the 10-15th August Norway trip with Emma, this has been one of the best weeks of my life! I decided to come on this trip and step out of my comfort zone, and I have met some of the most amazing women, I feel I have really made some friends for life from this trip! The activities we did were all so much fun and every single person absolutely smashed everything they did! I have done so many new things this week, tried new foods, and laughed more than I have ever laughed. Emma and all of the team (Big shout out to Camilla, Ole, Honza, all the rafting guides, Connie and Rory) have been so brilliant, they have been understanding of people limits, but have all gone completely out of their way to do everything to make our experience the best it could be. Me and some of the other girls are already discussing which trip we want to go on together next! Thank you so so much Emma for everything you have done for us! I can’t wait for our next adventure!
This is such an amazing group, empowering women to get out into nature while making strangers into friends. It has reignited my love of hiking and given me some time away from the day to day stresses.The leaders have been amazing, supportive, knowledgeable and informative and just all amazing people. I can't recommend this group enough, give it a try you will be glad you did.
An amazing morning paddle boarding with Judith! Highly recommended…so relaxing and at the same time adrenaline filled and informative 🙂
I’ve completed x2 paddle board courses with them and highly recommend! You’ll learn so much in a friendly and safe environment. I’ve made new connections and now SUP. In the correct safety gear.
Judith is a fabulous instructor. Fun, experienced and safe.
I have attended two paddleboarding sessions now and I have developed new skills and confidence on a lake and canal. The instructors are very patient, informative and skilful. I would recommend Women Outdoors and I'm sure will be booking another session soon 🙏
I had such a great time on a walk and a wild swim organised by Women Outdoors. I loved that someone else was in charge and Katie was such a good leader. I managed to speak to all the women there at some point and it was so lovely to meet new people and perspectives all whilst surrounded by the gorgeous environment. Fully endorse this company!
The entire trip was so well planned. I've never felt so confident hill walking or paddle boarding and that was entirely down to the confidence inspiring leaders. I would absolutely recommend women outdoors UK to anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors with a friendly and supportive group of women. Thank you for a truly memorable weekend.
