You Just Need to Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin
People often assume our tours are “just for gay men”. And yes, most of our guests are gay. But being gay isn’t a requirement.
What is required?
A sense of humour.
A love of sunshine and sea.
And a willingness to embrace your body — bulge and all.
Because what we really celebrate isn’t sexuality. It’s confidence.
It’s About Comfort, Not Labels
Our tours around Istria are about swimming in clear water, wandering through hilltop towns, sipping local wine, and relaxing in speedos without shame.
Some guests come for the culture.
Some come for the freedom.
Some just want to feel good in their own skin.
You don’t need to fancy men to enjoy that.
You just need to be comfortable being one.
The Straight Guy Who Surprised Himself
We once had a straight bloke stay with us. At first, he was a little unsure. Didn’t know if he’d “fit in”. Didn’t know what to expect.
By day two, something had shifted.
Instead of hiding behind swim shorts, he was wandering around naked, completely at ease in his own skin — confidence radiating off him. There’s something powerful about being in a space where no one judges, no one stares with malice, and no one expects you to shrink yourself.
When a man feels relaxed, accepted, and comfortable… his body responds. Posture changes. Energy changes. Presence changes. And yes, sometimes confidence shows itself very clearly and very wet and pointy lol…
But that’s the point.
It wasn’t about sexuality.
It wasn’t about performance.
It was about freedom.
When you stop worrying about how you look, you start enjoying how you feel.
Embrace the Bulge
Every man has one. Most spend their lives pretending they don’t.
At Blokes Base and on our tours, it’s not about showing off. It’s about not hiding.
Whether you’re gay, bi, straight, curious, or just comfortable — if you enjoy the sun on your skin and the freedom of wearing less, you’ll fit right in.
No pressure.
No performance.
Just relaxed, blokey energy.
What Our Tours Really Are
They’re about:
Swimming in Rabac’s clear coves.
Exploring Plomin Luka’s rugged coastline.
Wandering hilltop villages with a gelato in hand.
Laughing over wine on the terrace at sunset.
And doing it all without judgement.
You don’t have to be gay to join us.
You just have to be open.
Confident enough to show up.
And relaxed enough to enjoy the ride.
Speedos optional. Confidence essential.
