Adventures for Women - with Canyon Calling

Canyon Calling are based in Sedona, Arizona, and since 1996 they have been introducing women to adventure travel in the USA and around the World.

So active women like you could enjoy extraordinary travel adventures!

Their small group trips for women focus on amazing scenery, challenging yet attainable activities and the fun, enrichment and support of women in the outdoors. 80% of our travelers come solo, the rest bring a friend, sister, mom, daughter or partner.

Recently Janet Scalzo has taken over from the founder of Canyon Calling, and brings to this new venture her innate sense of curiosity, true love of sustainable adventure tourism, passion for hospitality, and need to connect with the local culture.

Janet writes: adventure destinations have been a mixture of customer ideas, research, and our own personal favorites. These popular destinations are refreshed regularly, and new and exciting adventures are being introduced.

We have brought in ‘softer’ adventure trips, some with more emphasis on food and wine, maybe a mineral spa or two, but above all we continue to ensure a superb adventure vacation for you!

Canyon Calling is one of the women focused tour companies that are listed on Women Travel – a portal I developed to showcase opportunities for women to travel in small groups and to stay in women owned accommodation around the world.

This is another of the companies started 10-20 years ago which have managed to change hands successfully.

To me this is a sign of the growing maturity of the Women Travel sector, so that companies are able to move beyond being the passion of an individual, to being a business that can be successfully transferred to someone else who can grow and develop it further.
