Madeira Gay round trip | Nature & Adventure 7 Aug. - 14 Aug. 2024 6 - 16 g ays | 4 spots available Get ready to explore a rugged, evergreen paradise with dramatic rock formations, lush vegetation, and spectacular views over fascinating volcanic landscapes and the vast Atlantic. Hike along blossoming slopes and roaring waterfalls, and in the evening relax with a glass of local vinho. Madeira has the ingredients for adventure. ​ Discover the island on easy to moderate hiking trails Wine tasting and visit to a rum distillery Optional sailing or kayaking excursion Visual inspiration Madeira – the green island of flowers Walk along levadas Madeira – the green oasis in the Atlantic Madeira – the green island of flowers 1/8 Details Day 1, Wed, 07.08.2024: Bem-vindo a Madeira! Upon your arrival in Funchal (flights not included), you’ll be greeted at the airport and taken to your hotel where you’ll meet the other guys and start getting excited about your gay adventure over dinner. ​ Day 2, Thu, 08.08.2024: Olá, Madeira! After a hearty breakfast, your guide Pedro will take you on a jam-packed city tour of Funchal , the capital of the island. You’ll explore the old town with its idyllic city gardens , stroll down the spacious Avenida Arriaga , and marvel at the Gothic cathedral . At the indoor market , you’ll take in the rich colours and delicious smells of the delicacies, flowers, herbs, and exotic fruits sold there. Afterwards, you’ll soar over Funchal in a cable car to Monte , a quarter situated high above the city. If you’re up for a thrilling experience, why not take a toboggan ride down to Funchal? The afternoon is yours to “see and be seen” on the Avenida do Mar or maybe even to go kayaking! Pedro will show you where you can rent a kayak at the pier (additional fee). Day 3, Fri, 09.08.2024: Follow the levada Lace up your hiking boots! It’s time to go hiking. Once you’ve reached Marocos in the east of the island, you’ll set off on a two-and-a-half-hour tour along a levada (a typical Madeiran aqueduct) through lively towns and deep valleys. Back in Funchal, spend the afternoon relaxing either at the hotel pool or on a one-of-a-kind sailing excursion (additional fee) on a replica of Columbus’ flagship the Santa Maria. The tour is an experience in itself – and with a bit of luck, dolphins will leap out of the waves as you sail past. The perfect end to another day of your gay holiday. Day 4, Sat, 10.08.2024: Jagged slopes and ocean views Follow the call of Madeira’s west coast – your first stop is Cabo Girão ! Those brave enough to walk on the glass floor of the viewing platform will be rewarded with a breathtaking view down the jagged slopes. Back on solid ground, you’ll learn all there is to know about Madeiran culture at the Ethnographic Museum of Ribeira Brava . Now you’re off to Madalena do Mar , where you’ll take a leisurely two-kilometre stroll along a levada through lush banana plantations. The hike ends at Ponta do Pargo , the island’s westernmost point. You’ll take a quick detour to the Garganta Funda waterfall with yet another thrilling vertical drop to behold. To round off the day, you’ll have a glass of vinho at an organic winery before heading back to Funchal with a smile on your face. Day 5, Sun, 11.08.2024: Volcanic discoveries Get ready for a “rocky” time on the São Lourenço peninsula . Following close behind your guide Pedro, you’ll hike for about three hours along the rugged eastern tip of the island . The stunning rock formations along the way hint at the force with which the island was catapulted out of the sea 20 million years ago. You’ll learn about the volcanic eruptions that shaped the island and left their mark in the form of red and ochre layers in the cliffs . On the way back, you’ll stop at Porto da Cruz, where one of the island’s liquid delights awaits you: rum ! Your gay taste buds will be thrilled, as you taste your way through a distillery before taking the bus back to Funchal. Day 6, Mon, 12.08.2024: Up on the roof of Madeira Make sure to have a good breakfast – today you’ll be embarking on a majestic tour of Pico do Arieiro (approx. 5 hours, steady footing required). Up and down the narrow paths you’ll go, sometimes rather steep, around sharp rocky ridges to Pico Ruivo, Madeira’s highest peak . From here, the island lies at your feet – a sight to behold! After a well-deserved break, you’ll hike down to Achada do Teixeira . From there the bus will take you to the quaint village of Santana , which is known for its colourful thatched farmhouses. At a quinta, you’ll learn how to make the island’s No. 1 beverage – poncha ! After mixing your own drink, you’ll enjoy every sip while recalling the day’s gay adventure. Day 7, Tue, 13.08.2024: Let your imagination run free Take the day to discover other fascinating spots on the island or maybe you just want to chill out at the beach ! It’s entirely up to you – make the most of your gay holiday . In the evening you’ll meet up with the guys one last time to celebrate before it’s time to say “goodbye ” – but hopefully not forever! Day 8, Wed, 14.08.2024: Adeus, Garden of Eden! Unfortunately, all good things come to an end – even amazing gay holidays ! It’s time to depart for home (flight not included). ​ Detailed travel itinerary (PDF) Book now Why Madeira ?

The island is famous for its flowers, which are in full bloom all year round . Humans have developed a fascinating cultural landscape here consisting of lush banana plantations, blossoming fields, quaint harbour villages and extensive irrigation canals . Despite Catholicism being the most predominant religion, the Portuguese are extremely tolerant . On “rural” Madeira, tolerance is steadily increasing despite the absence of a gay community. Same-sex couples no longer draw attention . As early as 2001, a law was passed protecting same-sex partnerships . Marriage has been recognised by law since 2010 .

Day 2, Sun, 16.03.2025: Exploring Hanoi Today, you’ll explore the Temple of Literature with its ornate pavilions and statutes - here the first university of Vietnam has been founded in 1070. We are captivated by the Hoan-Kiem-Lake as well as the Temple of Jade Mountain with its burning incense in the middle of the lake. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. Why Vietnam ? With its 3,400 kilometres of coastline, Vietnam has an extremely varied landscape, is steeped in tradition, and yet remains exceptionally dynamic – it is far from being a classic holiday destination. On this round trip, you’ll explore communist-influenced Northern Vietnam with the world-famous Halong Bay, then Central Vietnam with the imperial city of Hue and the coastal town of Hoi An, and finally the vibrant city of Saigon in Southern Vietnam. The long distances within the country are bridged by domestic flights (included in price). Expect great value for your money. In a global comparison, a large beer (500 ml), for example, only costs USD 0.59 in Vietnam. This makes it possible for you to enjoy the tasty cuisine of Vietnam to the fullest extent. Vietnam plays a pioneering role in Southeast Asia when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues. It was the first country in the region to lift its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and to legalise same-sex unions in the form of unregistered partnerships. However, sexuality in Vietnam is lived in private and is not discussed much in public. Day 3, Mon, 17.03.2025: Sail the waters Halong Bay In the morning, you’ll set off for a breathtaking tour of Halong Bay .

Day 4, Tue, 18.03.2025: The perfect backdrop for adventure After waking up on the water , we’ll make our way back to land and head off to the airport of Hanoi for a flight to Da Nang with Vietnam Airlines (included).

In the evening, you’ll be transferred to the airport for a flight to Saigon (included) - the Pearl of the Far East. The city has retained its openness and is home to the country’s gay community, making it the perfect place to check out one of many bars or clubs. Our tip: Thi Bar Saigon . Day 8, Sat, 22.03.2025: Colonial Saigon The 300-year-old multicultural metropolis of Saigon, today called Ho Chi Minh City , is considered Vietnam’s boomtown. On a tour of the “secret capital”, you’ll see the impressive cathedral dating back to the French colonial period as well as the vibrant Chinese quarter of Cholon . You’ll end the city tour at Ben Thanh Market , where you can pick up a few souvenirs for your friends and family back home. Over dinner, you’ll say goodbye to Vietnam and the other guys. Day 9, Sun, 23.03.2025: Farewell Today, you’ll be transferred to the Ho Chi Minh City Airport to board your flight home (flights not included) – unless you’ve decided to extend your gay holiday on the island of Phu Quoc, that is. ​ Seaside extension (optional) Day 9, Sun, 23.03.2025: Beach we come You’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight to the island of Phu Quoc (included in Seaside extension package).

Our guide was also very attentive and introduced us to his home country in a wonderful and sensitive way. Giuseppe | Italy This trip to Thailand exceeded all my expectations.

This rich diversity is also evident in the country’s wildlife. Many of the most exotic animals in the world have chosen the jungles of Costa Rica as their home. The country is a global pioneer in terms of nature and climate protection , with the largest percentage of protected areas, and ambitious goals such as becoming the first CO2-neutral country in the world. Costa Ricans are among the happiest people in the world . But watch out – this zest for life is contagious! Costa Rica became the first country in Central America to legalise same-sex marriage in May 2020. However, as a Catholic country, it remains conservative , and Costa Ricans keep their sexuality private and prefer not to discuss it in public. Due to the largely tolerant attitude of its society, Costa Rica has become the most popular gay holiday destination in Central America. In contrast to the neighbouring countries, there is a gay community in Costa Rica , which is mainly concentrated in the capital San José. Hotels During your holiday, you’ll be staying at rustic tropical lodges such as the Laguna Lodge and Sarapiquí’s Rainforest Lodge .
