About Us

Founded in 2008, Outings & Adventures has grown from its initial humble beginnings of nine email addresses to an audience in excess of 12,000 throughout west and central Florida.

Today, Outings & Adventures, harnesses its experience in having hosted hundreds of social and active events for the gay community and combines it with adventure travel veteran Austin-Lehman Adventures to offer five start travel adventures.
Dare to be adventurous or just chillax with other like minded gay men. We’re not extreme sportsmen, yet with the camaraderie and friendships of other men we feel comfortable pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zone.

Outings & Adventures multisport adventures give you the opportunity experience a vacation with varied activities such as: road biking, sea kayaking, sunset yoga, zip lining, surf lessons, hiking, stand up paddling, mountain biking and more. Challenge yourself daily, relax poolside or take in the local sights, either way we come together at the end of the day to share our collective experiences while enjoying wonderful cuisine.

Be forewarned there are no world class dj’s, the only spinning will be you peddling! Our vacations are intimate yet vary in size where you’ll never be 1 of 4,500 gay men.

Check out our inaugural itinerary, California Wine Country Multisport. I hope you will consider spending your vacation with us! A complimentary 86 page full-color Adventure Catalog awaits you for the asking. With turn of each page you’ll be drawn in as we tempt you with unique itineraries and experiences of a lifetime.
