“We recognized that LGBT parents are very interested in introducing their children to new cultures around the world,” says Co-Founder Robert Sharp.
Robert’s partner and Co-Founder Steven Larkin adds “As well, we really wanted to offer gay and lesbian parents affordable travel options outside of traditional resort or cruise packages.”

Trips are tailored to meet the needs of families with children and begin at $1015 USD for a 14 day trip to Thailand including a visit to an Elephant conservation park.
