Founded in 1999 by Marian Marbury, Adventures in Good Company (AGC) empowers women in the outdoors by offering fun, supportive and challenging trips where women of all shapes, sizes and expertise are celebrated. In 2020, Kelly Kimple assumed ownership, bringing fresh energy, and a commitment to the values and philosophy on which AGC was founded.
“I’ve always loved adventure, from birding trips to Africa, to weekend backpacking trips in Montana, to snorkeling and beachcombing in Belize, these are moments that resonate. As importantly, these are moments that are meant to be shared. Going it alone has value, but joy is amplified, laughter is contagious, and reaching that next summit is more rewarding when you have someone alongside.” – Kelly Kimple, CEO
Our Experience
Our small group getaways encourage women of all ages and life stages to (re)connect with their adventurous selves, other women and cultures, and the natural world. From hiking to sea kayaking, backpacking to multisport adventures, our vacations are for women who love being active, whether they’re first-time travelers or lifelong outdoorswomen. We handle the logistics so you can relax, have fun, and fully experience some of the world’s most breathtaking places. It’s not about how fast you hike or how many passport stamps you have – it’s about taking on a new challenge with the support and joy of women adventuring with other women.
