No set dates
Day 1: Gay Key West!
Once you arrive in Key West you can explore any number of its beautiful sites. Head downtown to Bourbon street and enjoy music, cocktails, shopping, and more. Learn all about Key West’s rich history on a trolley ride through town, or slip into your bathing suit and relax at the beach or pool. Tonight we’ll dine together at one of Key West’s best restaurants (it’s so hard to choose!), and we’ll take in a drag show at one of the many gay hot spots in town.
Day 2: Gay Key West and Paddle Boarding
We’ll enjoy getting out on the water today with a gay, back-country paddleboarding tour. This is a workout, and we’ll be sure to pack plenty of snacks and freshwater.
We’ll have a casual lunch together today, and take the afternoon and evening to explore this unique, colorful, gay-friendly town. We have some great suggestions for touristy sights worth seeing, and we’ll give you the 411 on the hottest gay destinations for visitors and locals alike.
December 2: Watersports
We will spend today playing in the water! Take an all-day watersport cruise and experience the thrill of jet skiing, take in breathtaking views while parasailing, snorkel at the coral reef, and sunbathe on the deck of the catamaran. Breakfast, lunch, and drinks are included during the tour. Bring your sunscreen, towel, and a waterproof camera!
Day 3: Bare it All Weekend & HE Travel’s House Party
The party is on today! For our male guests, you will receive day passes to the Island House, world-famous gay men’s resort, for their famous clothing-optional Bone Island Bare it All Weekend Pool Party and festivities. Lunch is on your own today; many will choose to dine in at Island House’s full-service restaurant and bar.
After the party, take a short disco nap or just rinse and repeat before meeting with the group for a farewell dinner.
After Party
Stay another day and fly to Dry Tortugas National Park and Fort Jefferson!

Day 4: Excursion to the Dry Tortugas

In the morning, we will provide a transfer to board a seaplane flight (40 minutes duration) out to Dry Tortugas National Park (70 miles west of Key West). We will spend the day snorkeling the pristine, crystal clear water; exploring 19th-century Fort Jefferson; and sunning on the beach. Boxed lunch and snacks will be provided.
We will return to our hotel in the afternoon and enjoy an afternoon at leisure. Enjoy dinner together at another of Key West’s intimate local restaurants, before retiring (or not!) for the evening.
Day 5: Departure
Breakfast is at your leisure this morning, with many convenient flights departing throughout the day.
Day 6: Departure
We love having visitors in our town! We hate to say goodbye! But today is the day….Unless you stay just one more day. See the After Party tab for more info about a trip to Dry Tortugas National Park!
