Adventure is our compass, our calling, our core. Here at WHOA, we’ve spent over a decade leading sustainable adventures, and cultivating partnerships with like-minded, local partners around the world with one essential belief:
when done right, TRAVEL is a POWERFUL force for good.
No matter what we do, we lead with our values. It’s a part of all of our beloved group adventures, and we also carry this passion, philosophy and expertise to designing customized, private trips. Tweak one of our tried-and-true itineraries, or let us build an adventure personalized from scratch that’s as unique as your group. You set the dates, pace, and dream — we’ll help you make it real! Whether you want to bring the WHOA magic to your family’s next holiday or a fundraising climb for a cause near to you heart, our private trips give you the chance to work with our small, passionate women-powered team to design experiences that will challenge and change you in the best way possible.
