    Join a group of like-minded gay men on a “sweet as” adventure through New Zealand’s rugged landscape. It should reach as no surprise Sir Edmund Hillary—one of the first two men to ever surmount Everest—was a proud Kiwi. On this All-Gay New Zealand South Island adventure we’ll explore Hillary’s very own backyard, hiking the alike mountains, gorges and temperate rainforests the famous mountaineer did. And for the real adrenaline junkies, we’ll have the opportunity to bungee jump and/or hang glide in Queenstown, aka The Adventure Capital of the World. Now what’s the Maori word for “yeehaw”?

    If you’d like to expand your time in Kiwi Territory, consider joining our New Zealand North Island Cultural Gay Adventure Tour. The all-gay relaxed adventure directly proceeds this tour and the two are intended to be booked together. Alternatively, this tour is easily paired with our Australia Summer Down Under & Sydney Mardi Gras Queer Tour.

This South Island town of around 9, residents is funky, hip, and surrounded by incredible vistas. Caroline and Suzie are wonderful locals who will share all the great local secrets when you stay with them in Wanaka. I chatted with Suzie about how LGBTQ folks are treated in New Zealand and also why Wanaka is so appealing to LGBTQ travellers.

    How is New Zealand in general for LGBTQ folks?

    I think we’re more gay friendly here than most other countries. We have a lot more presence in the media with really good role models like Louisa May, our lesbian MP, and Tamati Coffey, the weather man – he’s a politician too now.  And Rainbow Youth is helping younger people too. There&#;s just more visibility. We used to live in Auckland, and it is very open, with pride, lgbtq+ clubs and bars, so it’s more noticeable there.  When we moved to small town Wanaka we were warned that it would be diff
