Gay adventure travel and active vacations

Shouldn't your next vacation be unforgettable?

Join us for a biking vacation in France, Italy, Spain, or Iceland; hiking in the Swiss Alps, Tuscany, or Peru; whitewater rafting in the Grand Canyon; zip-trekking canopy rides above the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica, canyoning in New Zealand or Australia; mountain biking in Utah; or scuba diving in the Caribbean; or a multitude of activities all over the globe.

Alyson Adventures offers award-winning adventure travel and active vacations for gay men, lesbians, and friends, in many parts of the world. We think there's no better way to travel than with a small, friendly group enjoying outdoor activities together. But don't take our word for it: We invite you to read comments from past travelers.

You naturally make new friends when you're sharing an activity and from our varied schedule of outdoors vacations you can readily find one that's right for you. If you prefer a more leisurely trip, to more exotic destinations such as Easter Island, Tibet or Egypt, filled with culture, fun and friends, check our Hanns Ebensten Travel website.
