Interested in a nature encounter exclusively in the company of women? An adventure where you can relax and be yourself, push your comfort envelope as much or as little as you wish, and learn from outstanding female naturalist guides in the world’s most wondrous wild places?
Nat Hab is thrilled to announce the expansion of a series of small-group nature journeys exclusively for women travelers!
Women’s Journeys is a curated selection of Nat Hab’s top itineraries, which offer inspiring encounters with nature while championing women and their stories.
Women’s Journeys
“Nat Hab’s Women’s Journeys offers a supportive and uplifting environment where women can explore nature under the passionate guidance of our women Expedition Leaders,” says Renata Haas, Nat Hab’s Head of Adventures, North America. “Our women-only departures build an immediate and meaningful community while empowering women to reconnect with their inner ‘wild.’”
From the Arctic to Africa and beyond, Women’s Journeys cultivates connections among women of all ages and life contexts. The program welcomes women traveling solo, with friends, partners, or multi-generational family members. Itineraries are designed to animate and empower women as they embrace new discoveries in a supportive all-women setting.
In intimate travel groups averaging just nine guests, Nat Hab’s highly accomplished women Expedition Leaders, including Ph.D. scientists, wildlife biologists, and conservationists with extensive field experience, offer guests deep insight into wildlife, ecosystems, and natural and cultural history. Departures also facilitate connections with local women in the places visited.
Be immersed in pristine brown bear habitat at Nat Hab’s private fly-in camp in Lake Clark National Park. Guests participate in guided bear viewing and wilderness walks with expert women bear naturalists. They will also get to know the camp’s female manager, who has helmed this wilderness outpost for nearly 20 years.

“The impact of bringing women together to intimately witness the natural world spurs a ripple effect for active and meaningful discourse and change,” says Haas. “This communion is at the core of our brand ethos and our larger mission of fostering environmental activists, conservationists, and changemakers.”
