Celebrate New Year’s in Puerto Vallarta: An LGBTQIA+ Group Trip in Mexico

Check into your room at our private accommodation anytime after 3:30pm. Get settled and take in the ocean views from the rooftop with your fellow queer travelers before heading out for a warm welcome at a local Lesbian owned craft cocktail bar.

After breakfast we’ll embark on a journey through the rural landscapes and towns near Puerto Vallarta, where you’ll experience the essence of local communities and connect with old Mexico. We’ll visit a cacao farm, and local honey shop, before learning to make tortillas at a traditional tortillería. After an authentic cooking class, we’ll dig into a delicious family-style al fresco meal, made from the dishes we’ve prepared, set against the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains. In the evening, wander through town exploring at your own pace with new LGBTQIA+ friends.

This morning we’ll head out early to beat the crowds. We’ll wander through a charming local village and set off on a short hike to a small hidden beach – where the clear waters sparkle with gold flecks from the sand, and Macaws can sometimes be seen flying overhead. We’ll wrap up our hike with a tasty local-style lunch in Boca de Tomatlan before taking a boat taxi back into town.

Today is a day to take it easy and choose your own adventure. Hit the beach, do some shopping, or maybe grab street tacos and spicy margs. In the evening we’ll celebrate New Years Eve in style with a queer family feast and an open bar before watching the fireworks from the rooftop at midnight.

After a slow morning and hearty Mexican brunch, we’ll kick off the new year with an epic day out at sea on an 80 foot sailing yacht. Enjoy an open bar and chef prepared eats while we whale watch, snorkel, and relax in the on-board hot tub with a margarita in hand. We’ll watch the sunset over Bahía de Banderas before returning to the marina.

For our final full day together we’ll dive into the wilder side of Mexican culture with a vibrant and immersive tequila tasting. During this sensory experience you’ll discover that tequila is far more than just a drink – it’s a cultural expression, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a gateway to connection. Later in the evening we’ll amp up the queer vibes with an outstanding drag performance by the award-winning Palm Cabaret.

All good things must come to an end… or so they say. We may be packing our bags and checking out, but the memories of this trip will last a lifetime.
