Everyone raise your hand if you're tired of the same old, same old when it comes to summer fun in the sun. Yep, we thought as much. For that common problem, we suggest a cure you probably haven't considered: gay tours! You get to indulge in the same sea, sand and sun adventures, but teaming up with the pros means you're making the most out of every minute instead of waking up on your last day wondering where your vacation went. Add these 3 gay-friendly adventures as starting points for your upcoming summer itinerary discussions.
1. Sea TREK®
Want to explore the deep blue sea but not so hot on scuba diving? Yes, there's a happy medium there. No, that happy medium doesn't require a submarine. Operating from a number of fantastic destinations, including the Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Aruba, Sea TREK® offers guided walking tours of some of the world’s most scenic ocean floors, with a little help from a super fancy diving helmet.
With the right gay tour, the sky’s the limit when it comes to planning a vacation as adventurous or relaxed as you.
2. Grand Canary Island Hikes
If you'd rather landlubber your way through the great outdoors, a gay-friendly hiking tour could be just what the doctor ordered for your summer vacay. Spain’s Grand Canary Island, 100 miles off the northwest coast of Africa, offers an amazing array of scenery, from towering mountains to white beaches to deep ravines. Adventure Bound Men offers a gay-friendly tour of the island that balances out rugged day hikes with a luxury hotel home base. Win-win.
3. "Camp" Camp
While not technically a tour, can we all agree that a summer camp for grownups might be the best idea ever? The perfectly named "Camp" Camp in southwestern Maine is a traditional summer camp for members of the LGBT community. "Camp" Camp comes jam-packed with outdoor activities and artsy-craftsy stuff, just like a good camp should. Also included: the potential to make a bunch of new friends, sans any camp bullies.
