Our new North America solo women's adventure travel brand has arrived!

We can’t think of anything more exciting than embarking on a new adventure, which is why we’re so excited to announce the launch of Harriet Adventures – our new solo women’s adventure travel brand… in North America!

*North American women now get to have the same kind of travel experiences our Aussie and Kiwi guests love – the kind with memories that last a lifetime!*

So how did this all come about?

Well over the past few years, we noticed that more and more +45-year-old American and Canadian women were getting in touch to enquire about our trips. Whilst trekking was definitely on their radar, what we discovered is that cultural adventures (like the kind our sister brand, Patch Adventures is famous for) were at the top of their wish list.

And the more conversations we had, the more things started to sound strangely familiar. These women shared with us that:

Big bus tourism just wasn’t their thing – smaller suited them better
They wanted to really experience a destination, not just scratch the surface
They wanted grittier, off-the-beaten path adventures too – not run-of-the-mill tourist trails
Connecting with other like-minded women and making new friendships was important to them

So, who are we to deny our North American sisters what they want?!

Enter, Harriet Adventures!

But, why now?

Well, last year our parent company, Leatherback Travel hit two major milestones:

We officially became Australia’s fastest growing travel company
We had our best year ever for guest satisfaction

Already this year we’ve had more repeat guests coming back to book with us on 2026 and 2027 trips than we ever have, so it doesn’t just feel like we’ve grown, it feels like we’ve grown UP!

Which is why now, just feels right.

So, curious to know which off-the-beaten-path destinations our North American guests will get to experience first?

Why, a few of our favourites of course – India, Vietnam and Uzbekistan!

And that’s just for starters.

If you have a fearless female friend in the US or Canada that you know would LOVE the kind of adventure travel we’re known for, please tell them Harriet Adventures has landed!
