At Pride Adventure Travel, we specialize in creating extraordinary travel experiences for gay men who seek adventure beyond the traditional tourist paths. Our bespoke tours for 2025 are not just trips; they are immersive journeys into the beauty and essence of each destination, with seven incredible options: Costa Rica, South Africa, Western Canada, Italy, Iceland, the Galapagos, and a luxury journey from Oaxaca to Mexico City for Dia de Los Muertos.
Why Choose Pride Adventure Travel?
Traditional travel for gay men often conjures images of grand cruises like those offered by RSVP, Atlantis, or BrandG. While these are fantastic experiences, they are akin to a vibrant night out on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. In contrast, our adventures are more like a serene evening stargazing in Mammoth Lakes — intimate and awe-inspiring.
Imagine the difference between a lively party cruise in San Diego’s Mission Bay and an expedition through the Strait of Magellan on the way to Antarctica. Or consider the contrast between the crowds at Coachella and a peaceful weekend backpacking the Eastern Sierras with a small group of like-minded individuals. Our travels are designed for those who prefer the latter experiences — more personal and more connected to nature.
Our Unique Approach to Accommodation
We do not default to five-star resorts; instead, we choose adventure-style hotels that are clean, comfortable, and provide a perfect respite from the day’s activities. In some parts of the world, our accommodations reflect local cultures, offering shared spaces that foster a community atmosphere among travelers. Our motto: Come for the adventures, leave with the memories.
Fun with Balance
While our adventures are undoubtedly fun and full of memorable moments, they are not non-stop parties. We believe in balancing enjoyment with meaningful experiences, ensuring that every trip offers both excitement and opportunities for relaxation and reflection.
