Active Odyssey exists to create transformative experiences that go beyond travel. We’re not just about visiting beautiful destinations—we’re about providing women with the opportunity to reset, reconnect, and rediscover themselves in a supportive and empowering environment. Our trips are designed to tackle real challenges that many women face: the need for connection, relief from daily stress, personal growth, and finding inspiration.
Unlike other travel experiences, we combine active adventures with wellness practices, offering the tools and guidance to prepare physically and mentally before you even set foot on the trail. Whether it’s building confidence, forming genuine friendships, or uncovering hidden strengths, our journeys are as much about self-discovery as they are about exploring the world.
What truly sets us apart is our focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where there’s no judgment or pressure—just encouragement to step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and leave feeling stronger, more inspired, and more connected than ever. With Active Odyssey, every journey is designed to make an impact that lasts far beyond the trip itself.
Active Odyssey's mission is to redefine the way women experience the world—through bold, inclusive, and unforgettable experiences that inspire growth, build community, and celebrate diversity. By encouraging an active and outdoors lifestyle, we empower women to embrace movement and exploration as essential elements of their journey.
