Adventure travel is the hottest trend for travelers across the spectrum right now. For people in the LBGTQ community, gay-friendly vacations offer the chance for sports and activities in scenic locations around the globe. Biking, boating, hiking, rock climbing, photography expeditions, foodie adventures and more are all ways to test limits and push the envelope.
These journeys in the company of loved ones, a group of new friends on a tour, or by yourself are a fantastic way to meet people and explore the world. Activities exist for every budget, schedule, and preference. Gay adventure travel might be as wild as taking a zip-line tour through the forest, going to your first Pride event at a nearby gay travel destination, or simply joining your first wine tasting event at one of California’s famous vineyards. Each traveler defines their own adventure.
Gay Adventure Travel
For some people, traveling with a well-established gay travel group on a planned tour is the best way to join the travel club. At the same time, many LGBTQ families take yearly vacations, and there are plenty of solo gay and lesbian travelers around the world. The destinations and reasons for traveling are as unique as people themselves. Some like the nightlife or the luxury cruises, while others prefer visiting museums and art festivals. Many others prefer outdoor vacations, camping, backpacking or getting as far off the grid as possible.
Gay travel is all about friendly, welcoming accommodations and having fun at whatever activity you choose. Just like travelers from every other demographic, the LGBTQ traveler wants to experience places, learn things and feel welcome wherever they go.

LGBTQ Getaways for Individuals, Couples, Families & Groups
Group trips have become popular with LGBTQ travelers because of ease access to the best restaurants, spectacular trails, the best beaches and the things you love to share with others near your campgrounds. Group trips are fast becoming the best gay vacations for both single gay men and lesbians to meet new friends as well as for couples and casual friends to explore new places with like-minded travelers.
Typically, gay travel groups are a mix of solo travelers, couples, friends and strangers. Often, a few people are traveling with family members, too. It’s a blast to share new experiences with people, but be sure to schedule some time alone during a group tour so you can get some “you time” in, too!
