Gutsy Girls Avis 

Gutsy Girls offers such a unique way to experience adventure travel. The focus on encouragement and connection really sets them apart. The guides were knowledgeable and patient, and the group atmosphere was positive from start to finish. As a Canadian traveller, I loved meeting like-minded women and trying new activities without any pressure. It was empowering, memorable, and truly uplifting.

I went on the Horse Riding experience adventure to Norway. Had an absolute blast with the other gutsy girls on the trip. The hotel was fab, the riding school very professional. Transport to and from the local train station was sorted too. Absolutely nothing to complain about. I shared a room which was lovely to spend time to get to know another participant. The host was fantastic too, lots of experience with horses.
If you have past experience of horse riding, no matter how long ago you should be good with this trip. My last experience horse riding was when I was a teenager (~ 30yrs ago) and I could keep up with everyone else (in case you are wonderIng) which to join.
Don’t just think about it! Do it! You won’t regret it!

My 2nd trip with gutsy girls (4-day Norway Cross Country Ski & Yoga), was just as good as my first (Pyrenees Snowshoe). If you need to escape the responsibilities of everyday life, then these trips are the perfect way to do it. Every detail is taken care of and you just have to relax and enjoy the activities alongside meeting some inspiring like-minded people. The team at the Venabu hotel were so welcoming, and the food was delicious. Rooms are basic, but warm and comfy. First time attempting to cross country ski, and our instructor Ursula was patient and very skilled which allowed everyone to progress. Our host China, was excellent in all elements of her role (pre-arrival questions, organising, encouraging and chief photographer).

Just returned from a 4 night Nordic ski trip to Norway. What an amazing time! Really well organised trip, great communication. We arrived to a lovely cosy hotel with super food and great staff. The skiing was exceptional, our guide was so experienced and had a great teaching style. Ice cold plunge and sauna also must do. Most importantly I met such a great bunch of girls and we had a fantastic host, who went above and beyond to make this such a memorable experience. Thank you!

What a wonderful trip to Norway XC skiing. Our host (China) was brilliant. Loved the hotel, great location, food very good. From the excellent organisation of the day to great vibes, this trip really nailed it. The people on the trip were the best! Thank you GG

Joining a Gutsy Girls adventure was one of the best travel decisions I’ve made. Coming from Canada, I was a little nervous at first, but the welcoming, women-only environment made everything feel comfortable and supportive. The activities were well organised, challenging in the best way, and incredibly fun. I left feeling more confident, inspired, and already planning my next trip.

Amazing experience - would not hesitate to recommend Gutsy Girls to anyone who is interested. I certainly want to do more trips!

I went on the Lapland winter adventure holiday with multiple activities included. It was very well organised and when there was a hiccup (weather too cold for snowmobiling) activities were rearranged to ensure we didn’t miss out.
Our tour guide Frankie was also amazing and ensured logistics were sorted so we had nothing to worry about.

I joined a 7 day cross country ski and yoga retreat in Norway and to summarise, our brilliant guide Kara asked me how I found the trip on the second to last day: Every day I’ve thought Wow this is the best day ever, and then tomorrow happens. I had so much fun and experiences gained with a great group of women. Every day really was the best day, it was a magical trip and I didn’t want to leave Venabu! Thank you 🙏

We had such a great trip to Iceland! Helen made sure we were having fun every moment. The activities were just challenging enough; the food was gourmet, and the country was gorgeous, local hosts charming and knowledgeable, and my fellow Gutsy Girls were a hoot.

I have just come back from the seven-night cross-country skiing and yoga retreat in Norway, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life!

From the moment I booked my trip, the communication from Gutsy Girls was great, and helped reassure me as someone new to skiing. The trip itself was magical: the stunning landscape, cosy hotel with delicious food, friendly instructors and guides, and fabulous group of women all made for the best possible week. The 'extras' like dog-sledding, horse sleigh ride and ice dip were all fun, and seeing the Northern Lights was the perfect finishing touch.

If you're deciding whether to book, go ahead and do it!

My 4th GG trip, but my first winter trip. As always, from booking to getting home was smooth and organised. Amazing experiences, the lodge and food were really good. Big thanks to our GG guide Helen!

My 2nd GG holiday and it was as the first, beautifully communicated and organised. Such amazing value for the activities which one could just not arrange without the local knowledge of the expert guides. A thrilling adventure, challenging, whilst feeling completely supported and secure. Don't hesitate to book. These trips are wonderful.

I went on the 4 night beginner cross country skiing and yoga trip in Norway. The whole trip was really well organised and we had Alice, our fantastic host, who was the heart of the group and encouraged us every step along the way. The yoga, sauna and ice bath and sleigh ride were really nice additions and we even saw the northern lights. Thank you Gutsy Girls and Alice!

Amazing time!
This was my very first gutsy girls trip, the group was lovely, and our host Flo was very caring, organised and I felt very comfortable approaching her. Both the Nordic paddling guides Razmus and Seb we're informative and attentive as well and I felt safe doing the activities! Thank you Flo, the guides and the ladies on the trip!!!!

From the moment I booked my trip, Gutsy Girls has been nothing short of fantastic. I did the Winter Kayaking trip in Norway - it was so beautiful, I would go back to our cabin in a heart beat. Our Gutsy Girl guide, Flo was honestly the best host ever. She was kind, supportive, organised and always looking out for everyone - whilst also being really fun to be around. I would 100% recommend!!

I have just returned from a 4 day trip to Norway. We met up with our host (Flo) at the airport over coffee. Flo was an exceptional host - supportive, helpful, encouraging and positive. All the activities run by Norwegian Paddling were excellent and these guides doubled up as our chefs too. Excellent meals everyday. The accommodation was a lodge - warm and rustic. Had everything you needed and overlooked the Fjord.
Loved the option to sauna and dip at the end of the day and the icy climb up to Pulpit Rock was challenging and amazing - the highlight for me.
Met some amazingly supportive women who all enjoyed the experience too. Thanks so much.

Fantastic trip! Booked onto the Norway winter kayak with my mum and we both loved it. Flo was a brilliant host and her attentiveness really made the trip. 10/10 would recommend ✨

This was my second trip with Gutsy Girls, and I had a fantastic time! The Finland multi-activity trip was very well-planned, with three days of snowshoeing, two days of cross country skiing, and one day of biking, all led by an experienced and knowledgeable local guide. I loved the peace and quiet that Hossa National Park offered – we hardly saw anyone else while we there. The accommodation was simple but very comfortable, and the cook made us delicious meals that took into consideration multiple dietary restrictions. I will definitely book more Gutsy Girls adventures!

I had an incredible experience with Gutsy Girls in Norway. From the moment I arrived, the host (Flo) was exceptional, warm, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable, which made the whole trip feel both safe and empowering.

The activities (kayaking, snowshoeing and hiking led by Norwegian Paddling) were thoughtfully designed to gently push you outside your comfort zone while always prioritising safety and support.

Sharing the experience with a group of inspiring women made it even more special. Add to that an amazing location and truly great food, and it was an adventure I’ll remember for a long time. I would absolutely recommend Gutsy Girls to anyone looking to grow, connect, and experience something unforgettable.
