At Out Of Office, we understand that adventure means different things to different people. That’s why our gay adventure vacations are designed to cater to thrill-seekers and leisure lovers alike, offering experiences that span the globe. If adrenaline-pumping activities are what you seek, we’ve got you covered with a plethora of options. Imagine the thrill of white-water rafting on roaring rivers, the excitement of canyoning through rugged terrains, and the exhilarating freedom of skydiving with breathtaking views beneath you. For those who love a challenge, the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu in Peru offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness stunning landscapes and ancient Incan ruins, all while engaging in a physically rewarding climb.
New Zealand, renowned as the adventure capital of the world, presents a smorgasbord of activities for the daring at heart. Here, you can indulge in everything from bungee jumping to jet boating, surrounded by some of the most stunning natural scenery on the planet. But LGBTQ adventure travel doesn’t always have to mean high-octane thrills. For a more relaxed pace, consider island hopping in the crystal-clear waters of Greece or Croatia. These destinations offer a unique kind of adventure, where the excitement comes from discovering new islands, each with its own charm and history, every day.
At Out Of Office, we are committed to helping you push your boundaries, whatever they may be. Whether it’s an action-packed gay adventure travel experience or a tranquil exploration, we’re here to make it happen. To start planning your unforgettable LGBTQ adventure travel, get in touch with our team of travel experts today.

Best Gay Adventure Vacations
Queenstown is the place to be for adrenalin junkies. Located on New Zealand’s South Island, it’s the best place to go bungee jumping, hiking, rafting paragliding, jetboating and just about any other adventure activity you could think of. A major highlight is a cruise down the mighty fjord, Milford Sound.
Experience some Indiana Jones realness in Israel. It’s a tiny country but it’s a cultural giant. Many of the greatest biblical ruins can be found in Israel. Ascend Masada and see the fortification the Jewish patriots used as they fought the Roman army. See the apparent site of the crucifixion, visit the Wailing Wall and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and float weightlessly in the Dead Sea. You’ll pack in a lot of culture and adventure in Israel.
Costa Rica is a great gay adventure destination. In Arenal you’ll find an active volcano, zip lines and a hot springs waterfall in the jungle. You can also discover the diverse flora and fauna of Manuel Antonio National Park.

A guide to seaplanes in the Maldives
One of the highlights of visiting the Maldives is getting from the airport to your resort via seaplane transfer. Whilst you're likely to be exhausted from your international flight and the thought of getting on yet another mode of transport is likely to seem frustrating, the beauty is that the iconic seaplanes in the Maldives are a total adventure in themselves.
ReadGay Adventure Safaris and Wildlife Vacations
An African safari is one of the best adventure experiences. Pursuing the Big Five deep into the bush makes for an unforgettable experience. We have great rates with some of the best luxury – not to mention gay-friendly – safari lodges in South Africa and Tanzania.
Brazil is such a versatile destination and it’s perfect if you’re looking for adventure. Rio Carnival is the biggest carnival event in the world and it’s pretty wild. A major highlight of Brazil is, of course, the Amazon. You can take a luxury cruise deep into the Amazon and see one of the world’s most intricate ecosystems.
If you’re looking to combine adventure with luxury then you should definitely consider the Maldives. It’s one of our most popular destinations. The islands of the Maldives are so small they can rarely support more than one hotel. As there’s no industry in the Maldives, the water is crystal clear. It’s a great destination for water sports, so you can keep active in between trips to the spa and the beach.
