At Stag Weekends, there are lots of activities to choose from, so much so that the choice can be a little overwhelming. In addition, different individuals have different tastes, which can become tricky with larger stag parties.
That’s why it’s so important to pick the ideal stag party activities and the perfect destination. Get both of these aspects right, and you’ll ensure there’s plenty to do in your chosen location, whether everybody is partaking in the activity or not!
Read below for three of our favourite stag weekend activities and where it’s best to experience them.
As part of our fun-filled Need for Speed activities (where you’ll also find the likes of quad biking, dune buggies, demolition derby and more), Go Karting has long been popular among stag parties.
Of course, there are plenty of UK go-karting spots worth a mention; however, if you want to soak up some sun and experience a little more alongside your track day, it’s worth exploring some of these prestigious European circuits.
• South Garda, Italy - South Garda is synonymous with Grand Prix go-karting and has hosted household F1 names such as Lewis Hamilton. There’s an annual winter cup held in January, but you can experience the track’s famous corners all year round.
• Wackersdorf, Germany - Famous within go-karting circles, Wackersdorfis home to a wide track that encourages breakneck speeds and plenty of aggressive overtaking – but lookout for plenty of tight hairpins too.
• Le Mans, France - This hallowed track is a must for any petrolheads. Le Mans is considered a mecca of motorsport, and the endurance karting experience is certainly one you won’t forget, lying adjacent to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe.
How does letting off some steam with your best mates at a shooting range sound? Our Shoot Out activities offer many options, including airsoft, clay pigeon shooting and laser combat.
Once a pastime reserved for nobility, shooting activities are far more accessible these days, with a wealth of sites in the United Kingdom and Europe that allow you to try your hand at various incarnations of the sport. Some of our favourites include:
• Extreme Shooting Ranges - These spots are a must-visit destination if you want to live out Call of Duty in real life. They allow you to fire various weapons, including rifle shooting with AK47s or letting rip on a machine gun, all within a safe environment.
• Outdoor Pursuits - If you prefer to take things back to the medieval ages, there’s a superb selection of outdoor centres offering an impressive range of pursuits.
Whether becoming a real-life Robin Hood with archery or channelling your inner Viking with axe throwing, you’ll need an entire stag week to pack everything in.
• Paintballing - Hitting a paintball experience with your pals is one of the best stag activities you’ll experience, with fantastic courses and purpose-built stag party packages to boot.
If you want to avoid the mud, sweat and tears of paintballing in Britain, thankfully, plenty of European paintball destinations allow you to sun it up with some beers.
What better way to escape on your stag weekend than taking to the seas?
We offer a massive array of boating and sailing activities, including BBQ cruises, stag-do sea fishing and VIP boat parties, just to name a few options.
There’s a vast choice of vacation spots when it comes to picking a boat-related stag weekend, but here are a few of our top picks:
• Dubrovnik, Croatia - With sun, stunning scenery and crystal clear seas, Dubrovnik is a stag party paradise. Famously chosen as the set of King’s Landing in the Game of Thrones series, there’s plenty to do and explore for those who don’t have their sea legs.
Those that do can benefit from plenty of fantastic boat trips and sea fishing experiences before returning to dry land and wetting your whistle in one of the city's many bars.
• Tenerife, Spain - If you struggle to decide between mountainous peaks and pristine beaches, don’t worry – Tenerife has it all. The Canary Islands are full of attractions that appeal to all tastes, but Tenerife is home to some fantastic sea-based excursions.
Sit back and enjoy a catamaran cruise or explore with the freedom of a boat charter, Tenerife style.
• Lisbon, Portugal - Given Portugal’s long affinity with the sea, it’s no surprise to find Lisbon on our list. The nation’s capital city has been a hotbed of fishing and trading for over 3,000 years, and it’s still one of the most important ports in Europe.
While there, we recommend checking going fishing in Lisbon, where you’re sure to reel in some record-breaking catches, or put your feet up and crack open a cold one on a BBQ cruise or yacht charter.
