CULTURAL JOURNEYS, Creative Retreats, Relaxing Escapes, Culinary Experiences, and Walking TOURS.
On our Women Only Tours we delve into ancient cultures, wander through breath-taking landscapes (both city & countryside) and visit amazing heritage sites.
We stay in gorgeous accommodation; eat amazing food; and meet inspiring people who give us insight into their lives and their countries.
We will learn, discover, try new things, see things we never thought possible, do things we never thought we would or could, and of course, manage to take the time for a little bit of pampering and solitude when needed.
What They're Saying
I am recently back from my third trip with Mai Journeys - another wonderful experience. Maybe a fourth next year!!!

I have just returned from a fabulous week in Luang Prabang, Laos with a group of fabulous ladies. Fabulous food, fabulous scenery, and a fabulous insight into Laotian culture. All in all, you guessed it - fabulous!

I travelled to Morocco with Jemma. I felt safe and taken care of which was important for my family back home. Jemma is a great host and takes individual needs into consideration. I loved that she knew the best hook ups for shopping and was a mama bear when it came to getting us the best deals! I recommend just going for it; but remember to allow for extra luggage allowance on your trip home!

Had a fabulous time with Mai Journeys in Morocco. We had a group of amazing ladies, who I all enjoyed getting to know as we travelled through this amazing country. I just sat back and relaxed as Jemma took care of absolutely everything. The Riads were spectacular and our hosts extremely gracious. I cannot wait to go again. Thank you to Jemma and all your amazing Moroccan connections that made my trip so memorable.

What a highly organised professional, considerate girl our Jemma is. Our recent trip was seamless, full of fun and action packed! I feel brave and positive in my life moving forward after my recent trip away with you. I am doing another!

I have had the most wonderful trip to Vietnam. This is my first small group tour with like-minded women. I must emphasise the small group, because it feels like you are on holiday with a bunch of friends. Jemma is amazing with her inside-knowledge and ensures the trip is truly authentic. The whole trip was seamless - if there were any problems, we certainly did not know about them! I cannot recommend Jemma and Mai journeys highly enough. This trip will not be my last!

HOSTED TOURS
Our Hosted tours offer amazing immersive experiences & fabulous cultural sightseeing in incredible destinations. Limited to 6-10 guests, you are accompanied by a Mai Journeys Host and superb local guides. These tours are an ideal way for women to travel safely among the company of like-minded female travellers. Our unique Hosted itineraries are limited to one departure per year and range from 15 to 21 days.
HOSTED ESCAPES
Our Hosted Escapes are perfect for women who do not have the time for one of our longer tours, yet still need to get away to recharge and re-focus within an intimate group environment. Life may feel over-whelming or stressful, or you are feeling a bit disconnected; so, a week of resting, eating amazing food, seeing incredible local sights, and having lots of laughs over a cocktail might be the perfect tonic.
WELLNESS
Our Restorative Getaways are designed to focus on YOU – to slow down and take time for yourself to Rest, Restore and Reset. These Getaways are all about total reinvigoration with lots of relaxation, spa, a little yoga & maybe some meditation. And we ALL need this at times! Just on a week or under 10 days; this is a perfect way to re-charge the batteries and re-connect with yourself.
FOOD & WINE
Some places you go for the culture, some for adventure, and some for the scenery. On our Food & Wine tours, well, it is all about the food and wine! These Hosted tours have a focus on authentic cuisine and culture, but you do not have to be a gastronome to come along. These tours involve market visits, cooking classes, cellar doors, gourmet dinners, meeting producers and a whole lot of tasting.
CREATIVE RETREATS
Joining a Creative Retreat is a real opportunity to do something different and either learn a new skill or hone an existing one. These Retreats are created to uncover, develop, and stretch your creative imagination. A great opportunity to participate in hands-on learning along with demonstrations and practical experience. Reap the rewards of letting your imagination run wild.
WALKS & TREKS
From easy to challenging, trekking in the Andes, the far reaches of Australia or ambling through Japan, these trips provide an opportunity to hike in amazing surroundings. As you move through rural and outback areas, you will be intimately connected to the landscape; the sights, sounds, and smells, the taste of seasonal foods, and interactions with local people.
