Backroads Debuts New Women’s Adventures for 2026 Just in Time for Mother’s Day

Exciting New Trips Launch in Bali, Colombia, Moab, Norway, the Pyrenees, Tasmania and More Welcome Growing Numbers of Women Travelers

BERKELEY, Calif., May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Backroads, the global leader in active travel, today announced 18 new Walking & Hiking Women’s Adventures for 2026, expanding the offering to 250 departures worldwide. Breathtaking new destinations include Colombia and the Pyrenees plus US hotspots such as Death Valley and Moab. For active, travel-savvy moms, there’s nothing like the combination of adventure and “me-time” for the ultimate Mother’s Day gift. An even greater gift, however, may be the opportunity these trips afford mothers and daughters to spend quality time together, as evidenced by the number of mother-daughter bookings Backroads is seeing.

After launching in 2024, Women’s Adventures sold quickly. Backroads expanded the collection to meet soaring demand, which shows no signs of slowing. Bookings more than doubled in 2025, exceeding all projections and expectations. In 2026, Backroads will offer over 60 different Women’s Adventures across the globe, with even more new trips to be revealed this June.

The average guest score for Women’s Adventures is 9.7 out of 10, making them some of the company’s most highly rated trips. Women love these experiences so much that they’re signing up for their next Women’s Adventure while still on their first, sometimes with the new friends they’ve made along the way. The female camaraderie and support makes these trips extra special, according to guest feedback.

Women’s Adventures celebrate female relationships, curiosity and strength and welcome a diversity of travelers, whether friends or sisters, or mothers and daughters looking to celebrate milestones together, with multiple generations of women or solo travelers interested in connecting with others who have similar interests. These trips aren’t about who’s the strongest athlete or who can go the farthest. Women’s Adventures offer the freedom to choose the path they want to take and to make the experience whatever they want it to be.
