Whether you’re a new or experienced traveler, planning your getaways can be a lot of work. While there’s no shortage of travel content online to help you, resources for size-inclusive travel are not as readily available as they should be.

These fun resources — from plus-size-friendly communities to size-inclusive group tours — will help turn your travel dreams into unforgettable realities.

Looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience?

Upcoming destinations include the Galapagos Islands, where you’ll hike, bike, snorkel, camp and dance — a feature on all WHOA trips.

The Fat Girls Guide

Recreation + retreats
Every Body Can Surf

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to surf but thought it wasn’t for you, try Every Body Can Surf, an online surf membership for beginner and intermediate surfers. The surf schools’ founders believe that every body can surf and aim to bring inclusivity to the activity.
The membership features twice-monthly live online surf lessons, monthly Q&A sessions and access to the private Facebook group. Lessons include mindset coaching, surfing etiquette, ocean knowledge, equipment training, water practice and feedback. Pricing is based on a sliding scale, so you can choose what works for your budget.
Fat Camp Retreat
fatgirlstraveling.com
It's not what you think, Sis. Fat Camp, another offering from Fat Girls Traveling, is not a weight-loss camp; it's an adult summer camp focusing on self-care, community, travel and fun! In 2024, the retreat will be in the Finger Lakes in New York State (or you can head to one of their international retreats in Canada or Scotland).
Your days will be filled with camp-themed activities, day trips, body-positive discussions and connecting with fellow campers. No sleeping bags or lousy camp food, though. Each guest stays in a luxe cabin with a private bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom, and you'll be treated to catered farm-to-table meals. Cap off your time with a glam photo shoot.
