The Himalayas will challenge you physically, emotionally and mentally. I highly recommend it, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Out Adventures… thank you for a life-altering experience.

My husband and I went on the Out Adventures – Japan tour for our honeymoon and it was fantastic.  We had never traveled out of the country before, and Robert and his team handled our 1,000 questions with the patience of saints.  Their documentation and organization made the process simple and painless.  Once we arrived, we were blown away.  Japan is a truly a beautiful country.  After we met with our group and our helpful and sweet guide, Joe, we were off on our adventure.   Before we knew it, were eating prawns the size of our forearms in a street market in Osaka, finding our inner peace in a Zen garden in Kyoto, watching the sun rise over the mountains in a traditional Japanese onsen, to bar hoping in Tokyo.  It was a marvelous trip.  The lodgings were fantastic, the food was excellent and we visited so many beautiful sites that our phones ran out of room for photos.   We cannot recommend this trip enough!

Amazing non-touristy destination. Not for everyone. Great way to see an up-and-coming country.

Magical trip. Croatia may not be first world yet, but the natural beauty makes up for any minor inconveniences.

Great adventure, a safe option for LGBTQ+ people, and reasonably priced. The group was unbelievably easy to get along with which made everything interesting and fun. Our guide Aziz and our host Scott really made this trip!

Great company to travel with. Everything was taken care of for us from arrival to the airport, taxi transport to hotel and then return taxi to the airport. Nice small group atmosphere.

Sorry you missed it, phenomenal destination and host/guides were attentive to guests needs and wants!

The longer I stayed in Cuba, the more I liked it. Well organized tour, comfortable, great guide.

Africa highlights with gay sensibilities, all organized and planned by someone else (ie not me). Meticulously planned and executed activities.

The trip was very well organized. Our host Scott and guide Aziz were awesome, and I really enjoyed the itinerary.

Our tour guide and host were AMAZING, and visiting Petra and the Dead Sea are must do’s for anyone visiting Jordan!

Out Adventures gay Nepal trip was outstanding, not only for the destination, but the service and attention to detail Out Adventures provided.

Morocco delivered everything I hoped for and so much more! Excellent service from initial inquiry all the way through to the last day.

Great advice during the planning phases resulted in an EXTREMELY well planned itinerary. And I can’t say enough good things about our guide!

This was my third trip with Out Adventures, and I am still not sure how they do it, but they always have the best guides, activities and itineraries. Peru was amazing, and this tour gives you a great overview of this beautiful and friendly country. This will certainly not be my last Out Adventures tour – highly recommend the tour company and this trip!

Great itinerary. Fun group. Super easy way to book a vacation, that is guaranteed to have fun agenda. And the personal touches throughout the experience were great!

The Croatia trip is the most relaxing and refreshing of the Out itineraries. It’s a beautiful get-away for taking in the sun, the sea, and just a little bit of history and culture – all with 20+ of your new friends.

Well organized. So fun travelling with like-minded people. Also takes away some of the stress of other tours where you are not sure if other travellers will be gay accepting/friendly.

The Inca Trail Out Adventures trip was outstanding. The guides were excellent, the support staff were on top of things and the food was great. Met lots of great guys from around the world.

I INSIST that you go on the next gay Croatia trip with Out Adventures! It combines the best parts of a private chartered cruise and a large cruise ship experience. Don’t be afraid!

It’s amazing to travel with a gay (lgbt+) organization who has vetted all of the people and destinations for not just tolerance but a welcoming and accepting atmosphere. But on top of that the level of service from OA is top quality concierge-like service.

Amazing! First time to South America and I don’t know why I waited so long.
It was a more active trip which made it more satisfying.

I had an amazing experience on Out Adventures gay Nepal tour. I’m normally a “5-Star” vacation guy and this trip has shown me the error of my ways. The tours of the Kathmandu Valley were excellent and the trek was utterly incredible; being surrounded by such incredible natural beauty with a great group of travelers, being led by friendly and knowledgeable guides and having a superb tour leader made this easily the most memorable, positive, and self-affirming vacations I’ve ever embarked upon.

A well-designed trip. We were well looked after by a very friendly and accommodating crew. And swimming off the boat was a great experience.

We love Out Adventures and always have a great time. Unmatched in quality. We also loved meeting new people, Wadi Rum and Petra. Wadi Rum is stunning.

Croatia is a beautiful and vibrant country that has stoically overcome war and adapted quite well to a massive influx of tourists. The food was amazing. Every meal used fresh produce that was locally sourced and organic. My favorite meals were peppered with fresh herbs and Istrian truffles. Each new port city I visited had its own unique energy, and walking the narrow streets of these cities was both haunting and fascinating. I really enjoyed my free time swimming off the yacht, taking in the beauty of the Croatian coastline, and tasting the local cuisine. However, what made this gay Croatia cruise even more memorable was all of the new friendships I made along the way.

We had such an excellent tour leader. He went to great lengths to ensure we were all enjoying ourselves and was very knowledgeable about the country and its history.

I had been thinking about this trip for over 20 years, and had been saving for about 5, so making the right choice for a tour operator was very important to me. I was very glad we went with Out Adventures. The tour was small enough with enough structure and free time to feel like we were traveling with friends. The guides were just amazing. They were so knowledgeable and took care of us every step of the way. Robert and his team do an amazing job. Being able to direct dial a travel agency and speak directly to the owner is just amazing. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Once again, Out Adventures provided the highest caliber adventure we could possibly imagine by attending to every detail — from the daily experiences they offer to all the vendors they hire to the accommodations you stay in — to make absolutely sure you have a once in a lifetime experience.

The tour covered many things we would never have seen on our own. It was very easy. Wilmar was great.

Wonderful adventure trip, and a unique travel experience. You’ll see and do things that might be out of your comfort zone, but worth it 100%. Loved the Eagle Festival.

It was a great way to see a lot of Morocco in a short time, expose ourselves to places in the country we wouldn’t have gone on our own. Our guide provided insights and perspective that we wouldn’t have had access to if we were traveling solo.

Great location with super fun guides. The exercise helped us enjoy the great food and wine!

Great locations and extensive tours. Our host was outstanding, and our local guide was great. They made sure all details were handled and that all we had to do was enjoy the trip.

Terrific service, great value, and a great alternative to large cruise ships.

Iceland is an amazing place and Out Adventures makes sure you’ll have a gay time!

All just wonderful: the ship; the crew; the destination; the group leader Livio; the Out Adventures trip leader; the food; our suite #7.

Small fun group was ideal, right blend of activity and exploring and good mix among those.

Go! Now! We felt so much safer in Cuba than we ever imagined. For some reason, many people are concerned with travel to Cuba. False fears! The people are kind, welcoming, and genuinely love Americans. Although it is a poor country, they have so much to offer in terms of cultural, historical, and natural beauty. The country is so much bigger than we ever imagined. It doesn’t feel like an island – it feels more like a large Spanish Colonial country in South America.

Peru is fantastic & the Inca Trail is amazing; hiking with a group is perfect & the hike is very well planned.

This was a fabulous trip and exceeded our expectations, which were high, as it was a bucket list item.  The support was on point and, while this was personally challenging, the sights and experiences were well worth it.

It is so much fun, and at our age, I love when a trip company can take care of all the details, and we just show up and have fun. You can be as active as you want or relaxed as you want

Not only does Out Adventures put together an ideal itinerary for visiting Iceland, but traveling with Gudni is like having an old friend show you around their home country with pride and a knowledge of the facts AND the people.

After 6 years, Galápagos is still the top of the list of the dozen out adventures trips I’ve taken. The diversity of the animals is amazing, but snorkeling with Galapagos and hammerhead sharks that were 30 feet below will always remain a thrilling memory.

I felt accepted by and happy with the group, the members of which varies in age. What can be nicer than travelling with family?!

While there we toured the sights of Lima, saw monkeys and macaws in the Amazon jungle, visited Machu Picchu, and spent a few days exploring Cusco. We had a great group and fantastic group leader. It was nice not needing to worry about everything and we had more time to enjoy being in Peru.

Best decision I made! It opened up a world of possibilities, and I will do another Out Adventures trip again. You are with like-minded individuals, who have the same level of curiosity.

It was one of the best trips I have ever had. I made lifelong friends who I will keep up with and reminisce about our beautiful yacht and our wonderful adventures in Croatia.

This was hands down the best run, most relaxed and restorative holiday I’ve ever taken. At no time did I ever feel like I wasn’t being looked after or needed to worry about anything. Truly exceptionally well planned and executed

An amazing itinerary that brings the best of safari experience with sightseeing experience with high-end accommodations, in a great group social environment. Great host as well!

Out Adventures’ gay Galápagos cruise exceeded all of my expectations. Every day is full of activities and the size of the group ensures you fully experience all that the islands have to offer. Where else can you be snorkeling with sea lions, turtles, rays and sharks then hiking along to see iguanas, boobies, and giant tortoises on the same day? I highly recommend this experience to everyone!

Friendly and helpful Out Adventures staff before the trip , a great local guide, very good variety of activities, beautiful country.

The trip far exceeded expectations. Every day’s events were well planned yet flexible enough to accommodate for weather conditions (two excursions were switched to take advantage of this). Though clearly this is not something that can be done on all trips this demonstrates how important the customer experience is to Out Adventures. The guide was excellent and the destination amazing. Our experience was so positive we’re already planning our next trip with Out Adventures.

Excellent gay South Africa trip with every single detail addressed perfectly. The group size was great and Robert couldn’t have been better!!

There is no better way to experience Thailand if you’re a member of the LGBT community looking to explore the world in-depth and in-style.

Once in a lifetime adventure everyone should experience, surrounded by a great group of people. Outstanding organization and communication from the Out Adventures representatives so there was nothing I had to worry about once the trip was booked.

A very well organized tour. Everything is taken care of for you from start to finish.

Incredible scenery! Great place to visit, reasonable pace. Wonderful fellow-travelers Great guide.

Organized and efficient, these trips are the best way to experience what a foreign country has to offer from every angle.

With all of the highlights of Cape Town as well as an amazing safari experience and Victoria Falls, the trip really touched on the best of what Africa has to offer. Accommodations in Cape Town were incredible and other highlights included our day with the Wine Fairy, our many animal encounters, and our exploration of the falls.

Amazing experience, hard going sometimes but was always worth it. Stunning views, friendly people and unlike other tours we had hot showers.

Well organized; excellent tour guide; Cuba trip was a good mix of staying busy and seeing/doing a lot, but not overwhelming; great group of people and many were repeat Out Adventures clients, so hopefully other trips would be good groups as well.

Outstanding adventure, EXCELLENT tour guide. Morroco at it’s best.

Mongolia is a very interesting and welcoming place, culturally diverse, with stunning landscapes. It’s a great way to escape the “Ruts” of western life. Out Adventures takes every precaution to ensure the safety and comfort of their clients while providing stimulating adventures.

Epic, amazing, and a trip I’ll remember forever. Loved, loved loved our guides and camping in the middle of the Serengeti was an experience I will never forget.

Traveling solo in Italy (or anywhere really) is much nicer when you’re doing it with a new group of friends plus two hosts that take great care of you!

The destination was spectacular but being able to be there with a great group of men on an extraordinarily well-planned and coordinated adventure made it even more wonderful.

Best group trip I’ve taken. The gay Chile tour itinerary is amazing, great group of guys, special extras like champagne in the dessert. Amazing!

Well planned out and our local guide Amr was AMAZING! A once in a lifetime experience. The rich history, beautiful architecture, and friendly people made this a trip we’ll always remember.

I cannot formulate enough words to describe how wonderful this experience was. Our guide and assistant guides were amazing. Everyone was helpful and supportive. They made you walk when you needed to, and made you rest as much as you needed. Our tours of Kathmandu and Bhaktapur were equally as good. The guides were very informative and very forthcoming with their experiences.

THIS was a tour I went on to appease my partner, I truly was nervous about an “active” adventure. Truth is it turned out to be a trip of a lifetime! Spectacular country with beautiful views, great tour guide, the other travelers were super, and a wonderful itinerary that, as an active one, wasn’t so active that it wore me out! Our days were full and wonderful and I would definitely travel with Out Adventures again. We are already planning our next trip!

It was a perfectly scheduled adventure shared with like minded guys.

Out Adventures gay Peru tour was great. We planned the trip because we wanted to go to Machu Picchu. But the itinerary planned for us included so much more of Peru, including the Amazon and Cusco, and it was a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend this trip to others.

The all-gay hike was tough, but doable with some good cardio training before leaving. The views and sights during the hike are amazing! It’s the only way to see many Inca sites before arriving at Machu Picchu.

This trip was SO different, off the beaten path, down to earth, and well organized.

Out Adventures gay Chile tour was well organized with plenty of diversions while including an excellent background, and knowledge of the country.

We loved the attention to detail that the team followed to ensure everyone had a great time. This is a different kind of gay travel than traditional gay cruises we’ve done before. A much smaller group, and much more physical activities. We weren’t sure we’d be able to keep up, but it turned out to be fine. We had lots of opportunities for rest breaks and all activities were optional. It was challenging, but great fun.

Highly recommended. Out Adventures really delivers a fantastic gay South Africa experience for LGBT travelers.

Everything was attended to!

What a great way to see you Croatia, meet new friends and all done with style & class!! It was one of my most memorable vacations ever. My favorite part of the trip; waking up each morning to an up front and close view of the Croatian coast line. The small towns/ villages, the mountains and the crystal clear Adriatic were simply amazing; every morning was more spectacular than the last. The city tours in the afternoons were always well organized and full of local history facts. A very big thanks to Out Adventures for organizing this truly awesome trip!! Great memories and met some really awesome guys. I can’t wait for my next Out Adventure!!

The trip was very well organized with great guides. We all felt very cared for.

Too many highlights to list.  I loved Taj Mahal but also loved meandering through the crowds in the old towns.  Amazing.

Great time and experience. Beautiful country and very nice people.

This was my first time traveling as part of an organized, large group and it exceeded my expectations. Croatia is an incredibly beautiful country, especially once you reach the Adriatic (Dalmatian) Coast. Arid mountains, clear azure waters, big sky, sheltered coves and historic towns and villages. The landscape, the architecture, the history and the people, all wonderful. The pure joy of that experience, including the endless laughter shared among old friends and new, I will cherish forever. Kudos to Rob, Out Adventures and our Croatian expert guide Livio. They were truly committed to ensuring that each and every person had the very best experience possible. Traveling by sea is most definitely the way to see Croatia. And I look forward to my next trip with Out Adventures.

It was a terrific 9-day adventure, packed with interesting activities and places to see. I particularly enjoyed the opportunities for hiking and biking.

Amazing. Our Guide was very fun and knowledgeable. She made the trip seem seamless and was a great resource of information.

A unique once-in-a-lifetime trip to one of the relatively few places on Earth left unscathed by humans. The trip provided the right balance between group activities and downtime. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and there was a good mix of activities over many islands. The ship was well-staffed, and the food was good. It was a thoroughly enjoyable trip, and our host ensured everyone was well taken care of

Greatest time EVER!! Love everything about the gay Croatia cruise, especially the time aboard the yacht and swimming daily in the Adriatic Sea. Heaven!!

Fantastic trip. Exceeded my expectations. Great tour leader and a wonderful driver. I really felt I was shown the best Cuba had to offer.

Out Adventures’ gay Peru trip should be on everyone’s bucket list! A fantastic combination of stunning scenery, welcoming cultures, and significant history. Don’t overpack, as you will be on planes, trains, and buses. Don’t under pack, as you will need rain gear, hiking shoes, shorts for the jungle and warm clothes for the Andes. Our guide, Maritza, was incredible. The accommodations were great and the food delicious! Highly recommended!!

Be ready for the cultural experience of your lifetime!

Out Adventures’ Morocco tour was a rich experience of culture and history. Nice blend of city and rural. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Out Adventures gay Iceland tour was very well organized, excursions, accommodation, all planned to perfection.

Out Adventures programmed an OUTstanding trip and made excellent choices on food, hotels, transport, and especially guides. In advance of the trip, staff (in our case, Kevin and Robert) were very attentive and responsive to all of our questions and concerns.

A trip of a lifetime. Out Adventers’ gay Thailand tour is a very good sampling of the Thai culture from the people, food, religion and history.

It’s a great way to cover a lot of ground in countries that might be daunting, or impossible to negotiate otherwise. Deluxe, comfortable, professional, fun.

It exceeded my expectations. Not only was the gay Peru tour a fun vacation but it was also an ecologically- and culturally-responsible vacation.

Get ready for something life-changing. Honestly the hardest trip I’ve done physically mentally and emotionally, that paid off physically mentally and emotionally. If you’re willing to put in the effort you’ll reap the rewards.

Very organized… our trip leaders were extremely attentive to individual needs and addressed them.

I had such a great time with the Group and Ale. Group was super friendly and Ale was amazing, funny and such a fantastic guide and person. The Inca trail was an incredible experience. Overall the trip was great and highly recommended. 

Out Adventures’ gay Peru tour is much more than a vacation, it is an adventure. From sea level to 11K feet. Planes, long narrow river boats, private tour busses sized just for the small group, trains, all of which are arranged for you along with a guide who grew up around Cusco and giving you an intimate insight to the history, culture, and current times. The itinerary ranges from sophisticated cities with immaculate streets and beautiful plazas, fine food, four start hotels, and a deep dive into a central market that will shock and enlighten you; to an environmentally sensitive jungle lodge and the re-establishment of tribal benefits and preservation filled with howling monkeys and squawking macaws. Absolutely the most varied tour of a country I’ve taken to date and all of it managed for you by people that love Peru, have been there, and had selected the itinerary personally. Kudos Out Adventures, the very best.

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done, and I’ve done quite few. Egypt is Amazing! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced, and our host Scott did an incredible job. The planning and logistics were fantastic from beginning to end.

I loved the gay Morocco trip. The group was a good size, and we really got a good feel for Morocco and saw just about everything. It was a beautiful country with such varied scenery.

My husband and I did the Argentina tour in October 2022 with Out Adventures.  It was such a great experience!  Loved the small group – 7 of us.  Really got to know everyone.  Great guides too – Tomas and Alf!  There were so many high points in the trip.  Of course we love Buenos Aires! The rainbow hills/mountains were spectacular.  The train ride to the clouds was a great experience.  Riding bikes in Mendoza to the wineries – the scenery with the snow covered mountains in the background and vineyards in the foreground – stunning!  We also added on to the trip and visited Iguazu Falls-loved it!  Looking forward to our next trip in 2023 with Out Adventures!

Great trip, people and places. Well organized, relaxed, fun.

Interesting destinations, great excursions and GAY! It was a great experience with a ton of activities. We saw a lot more than we normally would on a vacation of our own. Rob was exceptionally patient and helpful, he made sure that everyone’s needs were met and tried to anticipate as much as possible

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu lived up to all of my expectations. The trail was challenging, but the stunning vistas, incredible Inca ruins and diverse flora and fauna made it worthwhile. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and must-see places/activities. Not a minute of our time was wasted as we visited local sights in Lima, Cusco, Wilcamayo and Ollantaytambo getting acclimated to the altitude before starting our gay hike on the Inca Trail. We dined at some of the local restaurants, tasting some of the local fare (cuy anyone?). Once we started on the trail, the hospitality of the staff is outstanding as was our trail guide, Tomas. It’s amazing to think that we we had 3 hot meals a day + happy hour.

Perfectly well planned and executed!

Incredible cultural destination. Fascinating to see in person, iconic symbols of Egyptian culture. The local tour guide, Aziz was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate.

We got VIP treatment at a large local gay Reykjavík event, had special unadvertised extras along the way and got to know people we ordinarily would have just been introduced to in passing. This was my second Out Adventures tour and won’t be my last.

Out Adventures does an amazing job of bringing together a terrific itinerary with a great group of fellow travellers. It was amazing how much we were able to see and do while still having a good amount of time to kick back, relax, and take it all in!

Morocco has always been on our bucket list and the trip with Out Adventures exceeded our expectations.  Our local guide, Mustafa, ensured we experienced the culture of the Moroccan people by taking us in the homes of local families to share meals and customs. This allowed us to see the real Morocco beyond the beautiful tourist destinations and gave us memories for the rest of our lives.

The Inca Trail was an experience of a life time!

This was an outstanding experience. It was well-organized and filled with adventure, with luxurious accommodations.

Great introduction to the many cultures and history of Mexico. This trip includes historic aspects of the city, as well as a visit to two major archeological sites. Plus, the cuisine is excellent!

The trip was off the beaten track, and culturally eye-opening. Be ready to roll with the punches, and experience beauty in desolation.

Let me tell you, I had the time of my life on the Peru trip and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The group was great, the porters and cooks , Darwin, Bruce, and Ali were awesome. I was a bit apprehensive traveling to the developing world, but as I quickly found out, we were in good hands and there was nothing to worry about. The people of Peru are so friendly, and the crew that was assembled to help us with the trip represented OUT and their people in an exemplary manner.

Just go! The trip was excellent, and covered the highlights of Mexico City and Puebla. We had a few logistical issues related to a local parade, but the way Out Adventures handled it helped turn it into a highlight of the trip rather than a problem. The hotel in Mexico City was in a very good neighborhood, and the Puebla hotel was beyond amazing. Our guide Jasson and host Alf were also amazing, and I’d travel with them again no questions asked.

Of all the trips/tours I have done, this has been the BEST so far!

Don’t be scared off by the enormity of the trip, however, make sure you prepare yourself for the physical exertion and requirements. You will appreciate the trip better if you train your body to some extent. And the support during travel surpasses your expectations.

Five days is a perfect amount of time to visit Iceland. I learned a lot about the country and its people.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is a comfort level being with other gay men for one thing. Also, this kind of trip is not for the faint of heart and body, so it tends to attract interesting people. Me and my friends took an extra three days on our own, which I enjoyed…. because the 10 days are pretty much packed with interesting things to see and do. This country is so far from our experience at home that having a good guide is invaluable. Our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable and just plain fun to be around that it made it a special experience.

A well-paced, well-run, friendly, and relaxing trip with good food, great wine, and a few interesting cultural visits.

It was a wonderful adventure that provided a great introduction to different parts of Peru.

Not only were the visits to Cape Town, Sabi Sands and Victoria Falls perfect in every way, Robert and the Out Adventures Team put together an outstanding set of hotels, guides, events, restaurants and tours.

Incredible experience that perfectly balanced action-packed excursions with relaxing camaraderie.

We had an amazing time—made even better by a guide who spoke the language and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Amazing country with a rich history. Wonderful people. I came back a more educated and better person thanks to the experiences on this trip.
