AdventureWomen Gets Top Honors from
National Geographic Traveler Magazine
May 1, 2013 – Horseback Riding in Iceland: Land of Fire and Ice, from women’s active travel outfitter, AdventureWomen, has been recognized as one of National Geographic Traveler Magazine’s 2013 “50 Tours of a Lifetime”.
National Geographic Traveler’s selection process was competitive and their editorial team worked long and hard to find 2013’s most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours.

“This year marks the 125th anniversary of the National Geographic Society. The tours we selected capture that spirit of exploration,” said Executive Editor Norie Quintos. “They push the boundaries of mainstream tourism, whether taking travelers to the far corners of the globe, or helping them dive deep into the culture of familiar destinations.”
“How exciting to be chosen for this National Geographic honor, especially since our Iceland Horseback Riding adventure is very special to me,” says Susan Eckert, President and Founder of AdventureWomen, Inc. “I went to Iceland 16 years ago to set up a horseback trip, and fell in love with the “legendary and gaited” Icelandic horse. My life changed and I’ve had two wonderful Icelandic horses of my own in Montana for 15 years. Taking AdventureWomen participants to ride these amazing horses through Iceland’s remarkable landscapes is one of MY personal trips of a lifetime!”
National Geographic Traveler magazine has been recognizing the best tours and outfitters for travelers for the last eight years, as part of the magazine’s mission “to propel readers out of their armchairs and into the field.”
National Geographic Traveler "Tours of a Lifetime" issue, May 2013,
is now available at newsstands everywhere.

Happy Mother's Day!
A beautiful testimonial from Stefanie Bolte, who came with her mother, Charlene Bolte, on our Poland Culinary and Cultural Adventure last September, 2012

last year's AdventureWomen Poland Culinary and Cultural trip
My mother and I had never traveled without other family members before, but always thought it would be fun. Her retirement seemed like a good excuse.
I can honestly say we had a blast going to Poland. The great thing about the AdventureWomen trip was having all the details worked out for us. I would imagine it would be much more stressful to have gone by ourselves, not reading the language, having to drive, getting lost, etc. This took the stress out of the equation, and left us with time to enjoy our surroundings and each other. We still talk fondly of the trip, and I could see us traveling again sometime. Some of the ladies on the trip seemed impressed we got along so well, no bickering or arguing as mothers and daughters sometimes do. Our guides and fellow travelers were so fun. I don't know what there would have been to bicker about.
I hope AdventureWomen continues to thrive as it's the best tour company I have used.
Sincerely,
Stefanie Bolte
