Take time to make your soul happy
We are a women-only outdoor community based on the beautiful Isle of Wight, created to help women reconnect with their confidence, inner strength, and sense of belonging through nature, the outdoors, and shared experiences.
What began as simple trail walks and hikes has grown into a thriving community - a sisterhood rooted in adventure, wellbeing, and support. Today, we offer a wide range of nature-inspired activities, from wild sea swims and peaceful paddleboarding sessions to weekend camping trips, outdoor yoga, creative gatherings, and immersive experiences designed to nurture both body and mind.
Whether you’re seeking connection, rebuilding confidence, or simply longing for time outdoors, you’ll find a place here - just as you are.
Walking and Hiking
Walking together is where it all began - and it remains at the heart of IOW Adventure Girls UK today. Our regular walks are the foundation of our community, bringing women together to explore the Isle of Wight one step at a time.
We meet twice each week, with every walk offering a slightly different pace and experience:
Wednesday Evenings – 6:30pm
Our midweek walks are a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and gently reset after the day. Expect relaxed routes, good conversation, and time to unwind outdoors.
Sunday Mornings - 10am
Made for adventure, our Sunday walks are more hike-like in nature, taking us to some of the island’s most breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems.
From clifftops and rolling downs to forests and coastal paths, each walk is an opportunity to move, connect, and experience the island’s natural beauty together.
Cold Water Dipping
There’s nothing quite like stepping into the sea - bracing, refreshing, and completely invigorating. Join us every Saturday at 8am at Yaverland Beach for our weekly cold water dip, a beautiful way to begin the weekend with a clear head, calm mind, and full heart.
We gather as a group, take the plunge together, and afterwards warm up on the beach with a hot drink.
These dips are about connection, courage, and a little bit of cold-water magic. Whether you’re an experienced sea swimmer or trying it for the very first time, you’ll be supported by a welcoming and encouraging community of women.
No pressure. No judgement. Just a chance to embrace the moment, lift your mood, and feel truly alive.
Camping Weekends
Our camping weekends are a chance to fully immerse yourself in nature, slow down, and spend quality time under the stars with like-minded women. These special escapes are all about connection, adventure, and taking a break from the busyness of everyday life.
We pitch tents, cook together, share stories around the fire, and explore the surrounding landscapes - whether that’s hiking local trails, taking a refreshing sea dip, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
Open to all women, our camping trips are welcoming, relaxed, and full of laughter. No fancy gear or prior experience is needed - just curiosity, a love of the outdoors, and a willingness to try something new. From wild camping spots to more equipped sites, each weekend brings a fresh location and a shared adventure.
Come as you are, and leave feeling grounded, recharged, and part of something truly special.
Retreats & Experiences
Our retreats and immersive experiences are designed to help you fully step away from daily life, slow down, and reconnect - with nature, with yourself, and with other women. These experiences are about mindful adventure, shared learning, and creating space to recharge and reflect.
Each retreat is carefully crafted to include a mix of outdoor activities, wellness practices, and time for creativity or quiet reflection. This could mean guided walks, paddleboarding, sea dips, outdoor yoga or sound baths, nature journaling, or simply soaking up the beauty of a new location.
Open to all women, our retreats are welcoming, supportive, and low-pressure. You don’t need prior experience in any activity - just curiosity, a love of the outdoors, and an open mind. Each retreat offers a new location and a thoughtfully designed schedule, giving you a chance to explore, connect, and nurture yourself fully.
Come as you are, and leave feeling inspired, grounded, and part of a community that encourages growth, connection, and adventure.
