And while we couldn’t possibly pick a favorite, our Alaska tour holds a special place in our hearts. Shhh—don’t tell our other tours! 🤫
So, what’s the big deal about Alaska, you ask? Oh, where do we even begin? From towering mountains to sweeping glaciers, this rugged wilderness is a playground for the soul, a canvas for self-discovery, and a haven for adventure seekers like you. Truly, it’s nothing short of breathtaking.
In this blog post, we’re sharing how solo female travelers can tap into that magical sense of freedom in Alaska’s rugged landscape. Let’s dive into our top four tips!
4 Tips for Celebrating the Spirit of Female Adventure in Alaska
👉Alaska Tour Tip #1: Embrace the Solitude of Nature
Many of our Canyon Calling guests are navigating major life transitions—maybe you are, too. Whether it’s the loss of a partner, going through a divorce, or experiencing an empty nest for the first time, the solitude of Alaska offers the perfect backdrop for healing and embracing new beginnings.
Take, for instance, the Mount Roberts Trail. As you make your way through the rainforest canopy, every step is a metaphor for your journey of self-discovery and renewal. With Alaska’s breathtaking landscapes all around you, it’s easier to let go of the past and embrace the endless possibilities of the future. You know—kinda like therapy, but with better views. 😉

Your woman travel group will help you conquer mighty glaciers, and you’ll dig deep and discover a strength within yourself that you never knew existed. Here, you’ll tap into your resilience and feel a primal connection with the world around you.

👉 Alaska Tour Tip #3: Embrace the Unknown as a Solo Female Traveler
In Alaska, every adventure is an invitation to embrace the thrill of the unknown. It’s about stepping outside of your comfort zone and diving headfirst into the excitement of discovery.
For instance, imagine yourself boarding a floatplane bound for the remote wilderness of Admiralty Island. As the plane glides over turquoise coves and rocky shores, your heart races with anticipation. Touching down gently on the water, you find yourself in a land untouched by roads or accommodations, a true testament to the untamed beauty of Alaska.
Here, between the spruce forests and meandering creeks, you’ll have the chance to witness the majestic brown bears in their natural habitat. Every moment spent in the company of these magnificent creatures is a reminder of the awe-inspiring wonders of the natural world.Or perhaps, picture yourself cruising through the Alaska waters of the Inside Passage on a whale watching expedition. As humpback whales breach the surface and orcas playfully swim alongside the boat, you’re filled with a sense of wonder and exhilaration. Moments like these are a reminder of the magic that awaits when you dare to venture into the unknown.
👉 Alaska Tours Tip #4: Connect with Like-Minded Women
Who says solo travel means you have to explore alone? Not us! Joining a woman travel group like Canyon Calling is your chance to hang out with awesome women who love adventure as much as you do.
During our tours, you’ll make new friends while chatting around a cozy campfire and sharing funny stories over yummy meals. It’s like being at summer camp—but with fancy wine! And the best part? You’ll leave with friendships that’ll last a lifetime.

You’ll feel brave enough to try new things when you’re surrounded by a group of friends who’ll support you no matter what. Together, you’ll redefine what it means to travel solo and have a blast doing it!
