Gay holidays and outdoor travel

Unforgettable gay holidays and vacations

Join a small, friendly gay and lesbian group for a memorable holiday or vacation. Paddle a kayak through the turquoise waters of Baja, Mexico. Explore the rainforest canopy of Costa Rica. Hike through villages of Tuscany that seem unchanged by the centuries. Or learn a new sport: scuba diving in the Caribbean, rock climbing in Wyoming.

Alyson Adventures offers award-winning holidays and adventure travel and active vacations for gay men, lesbians, and friends. Each trip brings together a small, attitude-free group of people; a spectacular location; and one (or more) activities that bring together the people and the location. You naturally make new friends when you're hiking together, or belaying one another on a climb — and from our varied schedule of outdoors holidays you can readily find one that's right for you.
