4 Gay Experiences With Out Adventures

It’s our mandate to incorporate a local LGBT component — when possible — in our group departures. Some activities may be campy: appreciating a Thai cabaret. Others political: a roundtable discussion with Cuban activists.

Scroll down for 4 gay experiences you can only have with Out Adventures.

Shake Hands with Cuban Activists

Arriving at an LGBT community theatre in Havana, we’ll be greeted by the centre’s Director and a few gay and lesbian activists. In a casual round-table discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to hear their stories and learn what initiatives they’re taking to strengthen LGBT rights on the island nation. This intimate experience is available on both our Cultural Cuba and Cuba: New Year Fiesta tours.

Dive into Reykjavik Pride

Described as the largest small pride in the world, Reykjavik Pride draws an annual crowd of nearly 100k — a third of Iceland’s population! Reykjavik Pride has banned all corporate sponsorship keeping it organic, grassroots and political.

Appreciate the YSL Museum in Morocco

French fashion behemoth and gay icon Yves Saint Laurent lived much of his life in Marrakesh, Morocco. The North African country decided to pay homage to the designer with an entire museum dedicated to his legacy. We’ll spend an afternoon touring the Haute space and getting an up-close look at his incomparable work on our Moroccan Souks & Sand tour.

Meet the Queens of Thailand

The Land of Smiles is well known for its plethora of drag performers. In Bangkok, our guests will spend at least one evening in the Silom district, where bedazzled beauties glide around on stage, delivering epic lip-syncs and hilarious performances. Gird your loins!
