Hi Friend and welcome Autumn and your first glimpse at what's in store for 2026.
We've recently completed our 2025 "Wild Antarctica and A Taste of Argentina" trip and once again it was amazing with many of the ladies sending in wonderful testimonials of their experiences which I've shared on my Facebook page.
Below is an introduction to what we are hoping to offer in 2026 and I thank you for your patience as I work with suppliers to bring you these amazing itineraries as soon as possible.
As you might be aware, our tours are small groups and can sell out pretty quickly so this is your chance to send through your no-obligation expression of interest so that you're amongst the first to obtain details once the trips are locked in and open for bookings.
This year marks 21 years since I began Girls On Tour and during that time we've visited over 60 countries on all 7 continents. None of that would have been possible without the adventurous and inspirational ladies that choose to travel with us one or more times. To each of you, some of whom have been with me from the beginning, I am forever grateful for your support and look forward to many more adventures to come!
In 2026 we're returning to some old favourites such as France, Alaska, East Africa and The Kimberley, but also adding some destinations that are brand new for GOT. I hope you'll be tempted as I can't wait to share them with you!
Back by popular demand are: - "Treasures of Tasmania",
- "East Africa - Kenya and Tanzania",
- "The Kimberley" and
- "Alaska Inside Passage & The Yukon"
and after way too long, "France". This will focus on mostly regional France but of course will include Paris and will include some WWI history and key sites as I pay tribute to my Grandfather and all who served in The Great War.
Departure date and other details coming soon however as we plan to take part in Remembrance Day services in The Western Front this tour is likely to depart towards the end of October, 2026.
We'll also add some new and exciting tours including: - "Trans Mongolian Railway Adventure, The Wall and The Terracotta Warriors" as well as the much anticipated
- "Malta and Sicily"
Below is shown the departure date and duration for each trip along with a summary of the trip* and your chance to send in your expression of interest or request tour details once the tour is finalised and open for bookings.
As tours are finalised and released, those who have registered their EOI will have first option to book. Remember, numbers are limited on all tours and are sold on a first come basis.
I look forward to sharing these interesting and exciting destinations with you all in 2026 and I'm so very grateful for your continued support.
Happy Travels!
Judy xx *as at the time of sending this email and until locked in. |

| | | | 2026 The Kimberley departing 5 May, 2026 - 16 days
On our most recent trip to The Kimberley in 2024 which was meant to be the last for GOT, my husband Ray was invited by Adventure Wild to join the trip as Thommo's assistant. He absolutely loved the trip and took his 'role' very seriously and I think it's fair to say that the ladies on the tour were very happy to have him there to help us with the heavy lifting, swags and tents. So much so that he's getting a geurnsey again in 2026 and will join our Adventure Wild hosts (hopefully Thommo and Gools) and myself to share the workload and make your trip a great one! The trip starts and finishes in Broome with one night before the Kimberley safari and 3 nights after in Broome. Highlights include: The Gibb River Road, Tunnel Creek, Windjana Gorge, Bell Gorge, Galvan's Gorge, Zebedee Hot Springs, Mt Barnett Station, El Questro Station, Kununurra, Purnululu National Park, The Cockburn Ranges, Fitzroy Crossing and more.
