“The best vacation I ever had.” *
What’s the best part of lesbian travel? For many of us, it’s the people we meet, both those traveling with us, and those who live in the countries or regions we visit.
The type of vacation broadly known as “adventure travel” offers opportunities for both types of encounters, as well as a different way to experience a new locale. New friendships spring up naturally as you find your way together along a rural road. Local people respond differently when you arrive on a bike, rather than a bus.
Lesbian Adventure travel is a relatively new concept. Explorers have been climbing the Himalayas and venturing into the wilderness for generations. Extreme sports have been around for centuries, albeit not televised on ESPN. But only within the last generation have there been sufficient numbers of people who want to bike or hike on their vacation, rather than baking on the beach, to rate the category of “adventure travel.” And only in the past few years have such vacations been available specifically for lesbians.
Alyson Adventures, which sponsors this site, offers a wide range of active, outdoor vacations for lesbians, and their friends. Most of the trips are for mixed groups, but they offer some tours designated just for lesbians, and the number of such trips will increase with the demand. Please join us to enjoy the challenge of new outdoor activities, and the excitement of exploring other cultures and countries, in a comfortable, friendly, small-group atmosphere!
