Group trips for solo female travellers have become a popular choice for women who want to travel independently but enjoy the support of a group. These trips offer a perfect mix of adventure, social connection, and safety. Whether you’re exploring Thailand’s beaches or trekking through Europe’s scenic landscapes, group trips provide an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded solo travellers. Join a hosted trip and enjoy the convenience of an organised travel experience, while discovering new destinations in a safe and empowering way.
Why Choose Group Trips for Solo Female Travellers?
Group trips for solo female travellers offer a unique way to travel, combining independence with the safety of a structured experience. As a solo traveller, the idea of navigating a new destination alone can be daunting. However, joining a group trip ensures you’re never truly alone. You’ll gain the freedom to explore while benefiting from the support and safety of a group environment. These trips allow women to meet like-minded individuals, share experiences, and create lasting friendships. The structure and community found in group trips help you feel comfortable, secure, and excited about the journey ahead.
Benefits of travelling solo but in a group
Travelling solo but within a group allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds. You can explore new destinations at your own pace while benefiting from the support of others. The sense of freedom that comes with solo travel is maintained, but you’re also surrounded by like-minded individuals, which makes the experience less intimidating. Group trips offer a sense of security, with guides ensuring you’re well taken care of and that all logistics are sorted.
How group dynamics support safety, connection & confidence
Group dynamics naturally foster safety, connection, and confidence for solo female travellers. When you travel in a group, there’s strength in numbers. You’re not only supported by the trip leaders but also by the shared experiences of fellow travellers. This collective support boosts your confidence, as you explore new places knowing there are people to share the adventure with. The social connections you build also enhance your sense of belonging, allowing you to embrace each destination more fully.
Why solo female travellers especially gain from group travel
Solo female travellers often seek independence but appreciate the added reassurance of group travel. Group trips for solo women provide the ideal balance. With the safety of a guided trip, women can explore new places, try new activities, and meet fellow travellers in a supportive environment. The presence of other women who share similar travel goals creates a sense of community, making it easier to step outside your comfort zone and enjoy the adventure with confidence.
Why Join a Hosted Group Trip with Always Go Anywhere?
After taking multiple solo trips and then finally joining a group trip to Cuba (which you can read more about here) I realised just how powerful it is to surround yourself with like-minded women. Yes, travelling alone is incredible, but there’s something uniquely uplifting about exploring the world with a group of women your age who share similar values yet bring completely different life experiences. The conversations, the support, the laughter – it all adds a whole new layer to the journey. And having a knowledgeable tour guide you can trust, someone who can share the culture, history, and stories behind each destination, makes the experience even more meaningful and stress-free.
Tailored experiences for solo female travellers
I’m working with G Adventures – A company I’ve personally travelled with and trust to curate group trips for solo female travellers that genuinely consider the needs of solo women. Together, we design itineraries that offer comfort, safety, and the right amount of freedom, without the chaos of the hostel party scene or the price tag of luxury travel. These trips are perfect for mid-range travellers who want meaningful experiences, authentic culture, and a supportive group environment, all while feeling completely taken care of from start to finish. Our first group trip will be hosted in Thailand in April 2026. You can see the full breakdown of the itinerary here.
What to Look For in Group Trips For Solo Female Travellers
When choosing a group trip, it’s important to consider various factors to ensure it aligns with your travel goals and preferences. Look for a trip that offers a good mix of flexibility and structure, as well as destinations that appeal to you. Additionally, the make up of the group, the trip’s focus, and safety measures all play a key role in making your travel experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Group size and composition (women‑only or mixed‑gender)
Group size and composition are crucial factors when selecting group trips for solo female travellers. Smaller groups allow for a more personal experience, making it easier to connect with others and receive individual attention. Women-only groups are particularly appealing for solo female travellers, as they provide a safe, supportive environment where you can share experiences with like-minded women. Mixed-gender groups can also offer a diverse dynamic, but they may not always provide the same level of comfort and connection for solo female travellers seeking a more tailored experience.
Types of destinations (global vs UK‑centric)
The destinations on offer can make or break your trip. Global destinations offer the excitement of international travel, whether you’re exploring Thailand’s beaches or trekking through South American jungles. UK-centric trips, on the other hand, are great for solo female travellers who prefer closer-to-home adventures but still want to explore new places. The key is choosing a destination that excites you, whether it’s an exotic getaway or a culturally rich UK location that offers a chance to relax, connect, and discover something new.
Travel style, comfort level & inclusions
Every traveller has their own preferred style when it comes to comfort and adventure. Some may prefer more luxurious accommodations and guided activities, while others might enjoy a more rugged, hands-on travel experience. Be sure to choose a trip that matches your comfort level, whether it’s a luxury retreat or an adventurous trek. Consider what’s included in the trip, such as meals, excursions, and transport and make sure it fits your expectations for a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.
Safety considerations, female‑centric logistics & cultural sensitivity
Safety is always a top priority for women travelling alone, which is why my group trips for solo female travellers are designed with your comfort and peace of mind at the forefront. From secure, hand-picked accommodations to safe transportation and knowledgeable local guides who truly understand the culture, every detail is planned so you can focus on enjoying the journey. On my Thailand trip in April 2026, you’ll experience all this while exploring incredible destinations with a group of like-minded women, creating a supportive and empowering travel community from day one. This is more than a trip – it’s a safe, enriching adventure designed just for solo female travellers.

The goal is to find the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and social connection, allowing you to explore safely while meeting like-minded women and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Europe & Mediterranean (easy access from UK)
Europe and the Mediterranean are some of the best destinations for solo female travellers – especially if you’re looking for short flights from the UK and a mix of culture, food, sunshine, and history.

If you’re looking for some travel inspo head my to destination guides for a break down on the best things to do and top places to visit across Europe and the Mediterranean.

Africa, Latin America & beyond (adventure, immersive
For solo female travellers, Africa and Latin America are ideal for those seeking immersive, adventurous experiences. From the vast wildlife plains of Kenya to the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro, these regions are full of stunning landscapes and rich culture. Group trips for solo female travellers in these areas often include safaris, hiking, and other thrilling activities, all carefully planned to balance adventure with safety. Beyond the excitement, these trips offer the chance to connect with both locals and like-minded women, making them perfect for anyone ready to step outside their comfort zone and create unforgettable memories.
My experience with G Adventures in Cuba – a journey filled with local culture and adventure
My trip to Cuba with G Adventures was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From exploring Havana’s vibrant streets to hiking in the mountains, I got to immerse myself in the country’s rich history and culture. The group dynamic made it all the more enjoyable, as we shared experiences, learned from each other, and formed lasting friendships.

How to Prepare for Your Group Trip as a Solo Female Traveller
Proper preparation is key to making the most of your group trips for solo female travellers. As a woman travelling solo, it helps to approach your journey with equal parts excitement and thoughtful planning. Packing the right essentials, setting realistic expectations, and understanding how group dynamics work will help you feel confident and ready for anything. Connecting with your fellow travellers beforehand can also make a huge difference – building relationships early creates a sense of comfort and community before you even set off. Let’s dive into the details that will ensure you’re fully prepared for a smooth and enjoyable trip.
Packing essentials & travel‑smart checklist
Packing efficiently is vital for a stress-free journey. Focus on essentials that will keep you comfortable and prepared for all activities: comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, travel-friendly toiletries, a portable charger, a water bottle, and a basic first aid kit, especially for longer trips. A travel-smart checklist can help you stay organised and ensure you have everything you need without overpacking, so you can enjoy your adventure without any unnecessary stress.
I’ve pulled together my top 10 travel essentials that I never leave home without – you can check them out here.
Pre‑trip connection with your group (WhatsApp, meetups)
Before your trip, connecting with fellow travellers can make a huge difference, especially on group trips for solo female travellers. Using a WhatsApp group or pre-trip meetups allows you to get to know the women you’ll be travelling with, helping you feel more comfortable and confident from the start. You can share tips, travel stories, or bond over common interests, creating a sense of community and support before you even set off. This early connection not only makes the journey more enjoyable but also gives you a chance to get any questions answered ahead of time, so you can focus on making the most of your adventure.
Managing expectations – freedom vs planned group time
It’s important to strike a balance between having free time for personal exploration and engaging in planned group activities. Group trips for solo female travellers are designed to offer both flexibility and structure. While there will be scheduled tours and activities, you’ll also have time to explore on your own. Setting expectations beforehand about how much group interaction versus solo time you’d like can help you make the most of both. Communicate your preferences with the group leader to ensure your needs are met throughout the trip.
Budgeting, single supplements & financial tips
When preparing for your group trip, it’s crucial to budget properly. Factor in all costs, including meals, activities, and any optional excursions. Many solo female travellers prefer group trips because the costs are often more manageable than organising their own travel. If you’re staying in single accommodations, check if there’s a supplement fee, as some trips charge extra for solo rooms. To save money, consider booking early or taking advantage of any special offers. It’s also wise to set aside some extra funds for emergencies or spontaneous experiences.
The Experience: What It’s Like on the Trip
The true essence of a group trip for solo female travellers lies in the experience itself. From the moment you step onto the plane to the final farewell, these trips offer a unique mix of exploration, connection, and fun. You’ll enjoy shared accommodation, group meals, and carefully planned activities designed to encourage bonding, laughter, and adventure. But it’s not just about the itinerary – it’s about the friendships you form, the personal growth you experience, and the unforgettable memories you create along the way. Travelling with a group of like-minded women makes every moment richer, more empowering, and truly special.
Shared accommodation, dining & bonding moments
One of the best aspects of group trips for solo female travellers is the opportunity to stay in shared accommodation and enjoy meals with fellow women on the trip. Shared spaces – whether in hotels, boutique guesthouses, or carefully selected homestays create an instant sense of community and encourage socialising, making it easy to form friendships. Group meals are another highlight, offering the chance to swap stories, share laughs, and enjoy delicious local cuisine together.
If you prefer more privacy, single rooms are also available, giving you the flexibility to enjoy the trip your way while still being part of the supportive group environment. These moments of connection transform a trip from just a holiday into an enriching, inclusive experience where lasting memories are made.
Free time vs guided activities – balancing independence
Group trips offer a mix of guided activities and free time, which is perfect for solo female travellers looking for both structured and independent experiences. While there are planned group activities, you’ll also have time to explore on your own, whether it’s wandering through a city, relaxing by the beach, or discovering hidden gems. The key is balancing these moments of independence with the social aspects of the trip, ensuring that you get the most out of both the group experiences and your own personal exploration.
Why UK Female Travellers are Choosing International Group Trips
More and more UK female travellers are choosing international group trips as their preferred way to explore the world. These trips offer a great balance of adventure, safety, and convenience. From the ease of booking through UK-based operators to the comfort of knowing that all logistics are taken care of, international group trips make travel simple and stress-free. Whether it’s for the opportunity to meet like-minded women, or the chance to explore new countries with a trusted group leader, these trips offer unparalleled peace of mind and adventure.
Trust, Convenience & Pre‑Arranged Logistics
One of the biggest reasons women choose group trips for solo female travellers is the trust and convenience these trips offer. On my Thailand trip in April 2026, everything is carefully organised – from flights and accommodation to activities and group meals – so all you need to do is show up and enjoy the adventure. By taking care of all the logistics, I make it easy for you to focus on exploring, meeting like-minded women, and fully immersing yourself in the experience without any stress.
With a supportive group and well-planned itinerary, you can relax knowing that every detail has been considered, allowing you to enjoy Thailand safely, comfortably, and confidently and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Wider destination choice than UK‑only
Group trips for solo female travellers open up a far wider range of destinations than UK-based trips alone. While the UK has plenty to explore, many women want the thrill of discovering new countries, cultures, and landscapes. Travelling as part of a group makes far-flung destinations like Thailand, Cuba, or South Africa more accessible, enjoyable, and less daunting. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, international group trips give you the chance to explore incredible places with the confidence and support of like-minded women by your side.
“Travelling solo” in a supportive group context
The concept of “travelling solo” can feel intimidating, but group trips for solo female travellers transform it into an empowering and exciting experience. These trips give you the freedom to travel independently while removing the loneliness or uncertainty that can come with solo travel. In a supportive group environment, you can explore new destinations safely, meet inspiring women who share your sense of adventure, and enjoy the perfect balance of independence and connection. It’s the ideal way to experience the world on your own terms – with friendship and support along the way.
