I used to make all my travel arrangements solo. But it’s like discovering a can opener and realizing I don’t have to hit the can with my head to pry it open.
Do I recommended?  YES. 👍🏼

From days to fun nights out we had a great time.   Hotels, tours and days were full but also time to relax and explore on your own.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update 8/16: Ending our 10 days trip in Iceland and it had been one of the greatest experience.  From start to finish, I was in awe of all the travel and activities with Arctic adventure with Nick Reeves as our driver and guide. Chris smith with Pride Adventure organized the trip and act tones and laid out the plan and prices. I love the fact that I don’t have to think what to do next. It was all plant out and we all seemed to have had a great time. Just like any great trip, it is sad that it is coming to an end, but the photos and memories with these amazing guys will last a long time.

This is my first big trip with CGA and Pride Adventure and I’m loved it. Chris and Kevin Smith did an Amazing job coordinating all the transportations, hotels, meals and excursions made it easy to enjoy the trip. Also his connection with Annika and Daniel was icing on the cake. I cannot say enough. I would recommend Pride Adventure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Pride Adventures on the Amsterdam World Pride trip, my first with them. It is evident brothers Chris & Kevin are conscientious and detail-oriented in their leading of the travels. The bottom line question when at dinner with others is "Would you get that dish again?" Similarly, would I go with Pride Adventures again? I've already signed up for another adventure! 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I joined both the World Pride Amsterdam and Central Europe tours with Pride Adventures. We couldn't have been happier. The hotel locations and guided walking tours were excellent. Chris planned just the right level of group events without crowding the schedule. We will definitely join Pride Adventures for another journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first trip with Pride Adventures - Exploring Mont Blanc. The booking process was easy and policies clearly explained. The trip notes were very comprehensive and updates were sent on a regular basis. Questions sent to Chris and Kevin were answered very promptly. Chris even scheduled a zoom call with me so we could introduce ourselves.

CGA/Pride Adventures has created a welcoming environment.  I felt instantly part of the group and we all gelled together.

Chris and our tour guide ensured that we all had excursion options each day and made recommendations for dining and other activities.

The itinerary was incredible spending time on Chamonix and Courmayeur.

I would highly recommend traveling with Pride Adventures as it is a well organized company that fosters community and connections.

Pride Adventures 9 day Belize & Guatemala trip was a great value. Very well organized for a first time traveler. Group leader gave excellent instructions. One of the benefits is choosing excursions to fit your needs. It was an terrific opportunity to meet like minded men from near and far. Highlights of the trip a visit to Tikal Mayan pyramids. Cave tubing, and incredible coral reef snorkeling. Visiting with the locals. Taking in the food and culture. I would definitely recommend Pride adventures for your next trip.

I took my first International Trip with Pride Adventures in June 2025 and was very impressed with the communication both pre-trip and during our adventure. I joined a group of 13 other guys and went on a 13-day trip from Cape Town South Africa to Victoria Falls. For the travellers who were interested, we met a month prior to departure. In addition, we had a Zoom call to answer any last minute questions we had. I appreciated both of those opportunities because for me, anticipation of the trip added to the enjoyment. Most travel has some unexpected surprises and when something would come up that impacted the trip, both Chis, the local guides, and others with Pride Adventures were there to help and problem-solve. It was also great to meet some folks on the trip as we toured S. Africa. There is a possibility we may explore future adventures together. The actual experience in Africa was amazing. The number and wide variety of the wildlife exceeded my expectations. Here are a few pictures from trip in June 2025. By-the-way, I think my group was 20 feet away from the lion in picture. Wow. If there is a location in the world you are considering exploring but would like to do so with an LGBTQ-friendly group, I would certainly recommend you consider Pride Adventures.

Pride adventure travel was incredibly easy to book with. From the beginning the information was clear and there was no question the type of adventure I would be going on. Chris, the host, was welcoming and immediately facilitated a sense of community among the group. I was a first timer and didn’t really know anyone , but immediately felt comfortable. The itinerary and guide were top-notch. Nick, our guide, was very knowledgeable and had several adventures waiting us for us every day. The trip was busy and fulfilling, but not overwhelming. I highly recommend traveling with pride adventures and can’t wait until my next adventure with them.

Pride Adventures has been a wonderful travel partner, and we love using them for our plans! Chris and the crew have amazing attention to detail, communication and updates, and they make sure everything is lovely for engaging! We did an excursion with Pride Adventures in San Diego, and it was PERFECT! There were fun events planned throughout the itinerary that we could opt into. And, when the hotel had a hiccup with our check-in, Chris handled it immediately and even got me a room upgrade! We're already looking forward to our next adventure!

Chris, kevin and whole team is incredible at what they do. I have attended a few rafting, glamping, camping and hiking events and they all have been very fun. They are very welcoming to newcomers. These events helped me make new friends while having tremendously adventurous time with those people.

I did an extended weekend stay at an Airbnb and enjoy boating on Lake Havasu in 2023. This was my first trip with CGA. That said, I have known Chris Smith as a businessman and personal friend for 20 years. I knew when booking this trip I could count on the information being shared with me as being factual and reliable. I enjoyed the trip completely. I was also very impressed that the cost estimate shared with me, inclusive of food and gas was well planned out and accurate. I have yet to do my second trip with CGA… Living in another state and just life obligations. However, I look forward to when that next trip is scheduled.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Pride Adventure Travel, when they brought a group to Costa Rica. Chris is a true professional. From the planning stages to the final day of the trip, his attention to detail and deep understanding of the groups needs made the entire process smooth and successful. It was clear from the start that Pride Adventure Travel prioritizes creating a community, providing quality experiences and guest satisfaction. Their communication was clear, timely, and collaborative, and the group arrived well-prepared and excited for every adventure. We would gladly work with Chris, Kevin and the entire Pride Adventure Travel team again and highly recommend them to any travel partner or client looking for top-notch service and unforgettable experiences.

Chris Smith led a fantastic trip to Costa Rica… His excellent planning and use of local talent meant great experiences- Zip line through the forest, challenging white water rafting., beautiful snorkeling, thrilling ATV ride,, swimming in pools, the ocean and in waterfalls, hiking in nature trails. I’ve traveled around the world and done many yoga and men’s retreats, and this experience was one of the best. Fun summer camp with two dozen great guys. I trust Chris to organize any trip and to deal with any problems, efficiently and with a sense of humor. I feel renewed.

Chris Smith Is great with communication. When you are pre-planning a very elaborate trip, he is great in not only letting you know the details from A-Z, he is great with follow-ups making sure you have no lingering questions. I used to make all my travel arrangements solo. But it’s like discovering a can opener and realizing I don’t have to hit the can with my head to pry it open. Do I recommended? YES. 👍🏼
