See what our travellers have to say about our LGBTQ+ tours and cruises!
We have done two tours without Out Adventures and have three more scheduled. We are exceptionally impressed with the organization of the tours, both pre tour with extensive on target communication as well as impeccably well managed itineraries. The staff are all very friendly, approachable and genuinely interested in creating wonderful experiences.
With this said, the professionalism of a tour company is best measured when something goes south and that is what happened to me. Due to my own carelessness, I suffered a catastrophic injury on the Galapagos Islands requiring medical evacuation, surgery in a non-English speaking hospital, and multiple days in an Ecuadorian hospital.
Out Adventures was there with dedicated staff to chaperon us through a very scary time. For 18 hours until I was passed on to hospital staff, we had a OUT Adventures representative by our side coordinating emergency room care, emergency housing, and medical transport.
The choice of a tour company matters - and Out Adventures nailed it. They showed up when it really mattered. We definitely recommend these guys and look forward to future travel with them many times in the future.

Out Adventures created an unforgettable journey showcasing the best that China has to offer, allowing us to create lasting memories while fostering camaraderie among fellow travelers. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone looking to explore China in a meaningful way and leaving you wanting more!
All there trips have an incredible team leading the group and behind the scene making every trip with them easy and fun. Groups are small and intimate where you travel with amazing people to amazing places and make life long connections and amazing memories.

I had the opportunity to join Out Adventures on their China tour as a Friends & Family guest, and it was an unforgettable experience.
From seeing the incredible giant pandas in Chengdu to exploring some of China's most iconic sights, every day offered something memorable. The itinerary was well planned, balancing must-see highlights with opportunities to experience the local culture.
What truly made the trip exceptional, though, was the people. Traveling with such a warm, welcoming, and fun group made every experience even more meaningful. It's amazing how quickly strangers can become friends when you're sharing adventures together.
I also highly recommend the Hong Kong extension. It was the perfect way to end the journey, offering a different energy and a fantastic finale after an incredible tour through mainland China.
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or considering your first group tour, Out Adventures creates an experience that is thoughtfully organized, inclusive, and filled with unforgettable moments. I wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again.

I've traveled with Out Adventures quite a few times already and have another trip planned to NZ & AU.
On each trip, I've met wonderful fellow travelers who have become friends.
There is always an Out Adventures host who ensures everything goes well and they also hire local guides who know the ins and outs of each area -- they know the best restaurants, when to visit the best sights so we're not in a crowded sea of people, and most importantly, they navigate any local hiccups or restrictions with ease.
On my recent trip to the Atacama Desert and Chilean Patagonia, the mountain tenting and hiking at El Chileno was an amazing experience.
I highly recommend Out Adventures. They make the planning and exploring ease!

My recent Mekong River cruise with Out Adventures was nothing short of spectacular! From day one it was clear that this was a carefully curated journey into the heart of Southeast Asia.
Out Adventures excels at guiding you through the breathtaking sights and enriching experiences of traveling, but they go far beyond the surface. The organization's commitment to authentic cultural immersion truly sets them apart. We weren't just passively observing; we were actively learning and engaging with the region. The partnership with knowledgeable local guides was invaluable. They didn't just point out landmarks; they passionately shared the history and significance of each site, bringing the Mekong's rich tapestry to life. Every temple visit, market stroll, and village interaction was deepened by their insights.
But the cherry on top, and what truly made this trip exceptional, was Out Adventures' dedication to responsible tourism. They provided meaningful opportunities to give back to the communities we visited. Whether it was supporting local artisans or contributing to local schools, it felt like we were making a positive impact. This wasn't just about taking; it was about giving back and fostering genuine connections.

We have taken two wonderful trips with Out Adventures. Last year, my husband and I traveled to Morocco, and this year the Galapagos. Wow! what amazing trips. In addition to amazing scenery, both were educational, provided outstanding accommodations, and every detail of the trips were well-executed. We've already booked our next trip with Out Adventures!
We had a wonderful trip organized by Out Adventures!
From start to finish, the experience was seamless, thoughtfully planned, and full of memorable moments. The itinerary perfectly balanced adventure, cultural exploration, and relaxation, with plenty of opportunities to connect with like-minded travellers.
The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure everyone felt included and cared for. Whether it was discovering hidden gems, enjoying local cuisine, or just taking in the incredible scenery, every detail was handled with care.
Highly recommend Out Adventures for anyone looking for a well-organized, welcoming, and unforgettable travel experience. Can’t wait for the next one!

I went on the Thailand tour for the Songkran festival and it truly was a trip of a lifetime.
Every detail was meticulously taken care of, from the booking process, to arrival in Thailand and everything while there. The prearranged tours and events were of a very high calibre and very enjoyable and enlightening, and I wouldn’t have missed any of them. All of the accommodations and restaurants were centrally located and of high-quality with great service and attention to detail. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Not a single misstep during the entire trip.
I went solo and the entire group and the guide were very welcoming and made me feel at ease.
Highly recommend!
I’ve already booked two more trips with Out Adventures and can’t wait!!

Terrific experience!! Well organized and very enjoyable. This was the best trip we’ve ever taken.
We have gone to Cuba and India with OutAdventures and had wonderful experiences with both trips. From the initial booking phase through completion of the trip, they are professional, communicative and have excellent local guides for the tours. I highly recommend OutAdvenutres without hesitation.
Amazing tour of Morroco. Everything went smoothly and our guide was excellent. The country is so diverse and we experienced a great deal of it. Out Adventures is the way to do an LGBTQ+ trip.
My fiancé and I have had the pleasure to travel on two journeys with Out Adventures and both of them were incredible. Morocco as well as Cambodia/Vietnam on the Mekong River. Out Adventures attends to all your needs from the moment you land to the moment you head back to the airport to fly home. The experiences that create are ones you cannot find on your own. They just don’t arrange tours on your journey but they give you experiences on your journey. There is a difference. We are set to journey with them again next year on a Croatia private yacht experience. And once published, we are looking forward to Philippines and India Holi Festival in the coming years.

Just back from another Adventure with Out, and that’s what this was: an Adventure. Definitely a sense of discovery and throw in Out’s extra touches like a bonfire with local villagers made this a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended in fact we have already booked 2 more Adventures.
Our group was very international, about half American and lots of Canadians, but Australia and South Africa and the Philippines also represented along with a super fun Mexican couple. Lots of New Facebook friends.
Thanks Robert and Alf and Edie the Entertainer for an amazing time.

I had a trip to India beyond all expectations with Out Adventures! A 5 Star experience in every way.
We've taken two trips with Out Adventures (Cuba and India) and each was a truly wonderful experience. Great guides, robust yet well-paced itineraries, nice and comfortable accommodations, fun and informative activities. And an added bonus to get insight into a country's LGBT culture and feel at ease as a gay couple. Really the perfect travel blend.
I toured Mexico City and Puebla and the ancient ruins nearby with OutAdventures. I loved it so much I’ve booked 2 more trips with them!
Amazing Experience In Thailand
Everything was well arranged from the sense of travel arrangements... highly recommend Out Adventures. Our local guides in Bangkok and Chaing Mai were very knowledgeable and friendly!

I just loved my experience with Out Adventures! I booked a cultural tour of Cuba with them and it was a hassle-free experience from beginning to end. They build great itineraries and use local guides that provide unparalleled adventures. There was great communication of all the details with their team. The staff were friendly and a pleasure to work with. I did not hesitate to book a second tour with them which is coming up soon. :-)
One of the best vacation I ever took. Out adventures made it so easy and hassle free for everyone. Everything was well planned out. And the hosts were so kind and friendly. I travel a lot but I have to say I that this was the best. One of the best things to ease our mind going to Egypt. I didn’t expect that our adventures will have someone there at the airport to walk us through immigration. I can’t wait for the next adventure with this group. I met some amazing people on the Egypt adventure whom I am friends with now.
Out Adventures can't thanks you enough to all your staff for making my trip to Egypt 2024 so easy and effortless from booking to the end of my trip.
I was worried about planning a trip for I was alone at the time for the first time in 25 years had lost my partner. Your tea, Amt and Gabor took the stress away and helped create a wonderful Egyptian that was a Magical experience I will never forget.
All on this trip were kept organized with clear schedules, local contacts during the complete trip.
The transportation was coordinated perfectly, and I had the best experience ever during my stay in Egypt.
There was a wealth of knowledge that Amr had at this finger tips that had the trip so amazing that it made my task easer when everyone asked questions of the photo I had taken and shared with them.
I look forward to retiring soon this April 2025 and have started looking at new adventure's with your company -
Thanks for making my trip to Egypt Magical/Unforgettable experience! I'm so appreciative of the time and effort Amr and Gabor put in to my experience.

I’ve now taken four trips with Out Adventures, and each one has truly lived up to the name. I just returned from the Mongolia trip, and it was easily one of the most fascinating journeys I’ve ever been on.
When I travel, I seek out people, culture, and food, and this trip delivered in every way. I met incredible people, tasted unique foods, and experienced entirely different ways of living. We spent time with a Bedouin family, traversed the vast Gobi Desert, and later flew to the mountains to witness the Eagle Festival—a truly unforgettable experience.
For the kind of travel I love, this was hands down the most interesting trip I’ve taken.

I have traveled with Out Adventures on two different trips. One was an active hiking trip in Patagonia and the other was a safari/cultural trip in South Africa. Both trips were the perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion and camaraderie. Out Adventures researches their destinations extensively and uses amazing guides. They curate an experience that includes places off the beaten path that are super high quality and welcoming to an LGBT clientele. Their attention to detail is amazing. I am booked for another Out Adventures in October.....and it won't be my last!
We toured Peru with Out Adventures in October 2024. From start to finish, OA did a fantastic job. The office staff was incredibly responsive and helpful - politely answering all of our questions. The hotels before and after the Inca Trail hike were beautiful. But best of all was our hiking team, which made the four days on the Inca Trail extra special. Our guide, Ale, was very knowledgeable about the history of the trail and never steered us wrong. Indeed, our motto along the way was "Always trust Ale!" The trail itself was awe inspiring. So much, that Macchu Piccu (although amazing) couldn't compare to the four days we had hiking up and down mountains and through the Incan ruins. I cannot recommend Out Adventures highly enough.
I totally enjoyed my trip to Morocco with Out Adventures. My pre-tour questions were addressed promptly and professionally. The Morocco guide, Mustafa, was excellent -- knowledgeable and personable. My fellow travelers were also professional gay men about 45ish-70ish. While there were a few small things that could have improved the experience, I'd recommend both Morocco trip and Out Adventure....in fact, I am going with them to India.
Going to Egypt has been a lifetime dream for me, but taking the tour with the friends from Out Adventures was more than I have ever anticipated. Our host Scott was magnificent. The care and concern he showed to all of us is not something you can find with just any tour company. Amr was our Egyptologist and tour guide. The man is an encyclopedia about Egypt. He knows all there's to know about all of those monuments, Pyramids, Pharoahs, you name it, and he can tell you about it, with knowledge and a great sense of humor. Out Adventures ensured our safety by hiring local people to accompany us wherever we went. There's not a single thing I can say that would reflect negatively the experience I had with the group. It is almost unfair not to publish a review about Out Adventures. Other people need to know about this friendly Canadian Company that just blew me away. Check them out and book a trip with them. You will not regret.

Out Adventures did a fabulous job putting together a varied and interesting itinerary for the Montenegro and Albania trip. Every day was memorable and enjoyable. We learned so much about the places we visited from our local guide. I highly recommend this trip!
Out Adventures will be the first place I look to for new vacation adventures! Robert was an amazing host and made it possible for me to not have to think about anything. He took the mental load of every detail which can be a daunting part of experiencing something new....from setting up transportation to assuring no one got lost...can't give enough accolades to this man."
This was my SECOND trip with Out Adventures and my SECOND trip to Croatia with them. Everything is SOOO perfect...they think of everything. Plus the smaller group really lets you get to know everyone and make great new friends. I'm booked for Alaska in May 2026 - can't wait!
In the spring I travelled for the 1st time with Out Adventures. The trip was wonderful, the guides were spectacular and everything was well organized and quite nice. The choice of hotels and restaurants were superb. 5 stars to both. I had a complaint prior to the trip and they addressed it promptly. I had a suggestion regarding tips in my post-trip evaluation and they've changed their ways for future trips. I will surely travel with them once again in the future.
We had an amazing time in Peru with Out Adventures. We chose them for a family trip because one of our kids is trans and we wanted to make sure we only traveled where she was safe and with people who accepted her. Jason with Out was patient with all of my questions and when we had a concern about the plans was more than willing to make adjustments. Ale, our Peruvian guide, made sure that all of us had the trip of a lifetime. The cultural experiences along with the food and lodging were above and beyond our expectations. I’m so happy we found Out Adventures and would happily use them again when our family is traveling out of the country.
