Bachelor Party Ideas
I
Started this site to give some new ideas on bachelor parties because all
the ones out there are geared towards strippers and booze. I have listed
some ideas that are a little more memorable below with links on right to
US locations, and if you want to throw strippers and booze along for the
ride, that is your call.

Questions?
Regardless of the theme you choose, it will be important to
make the outing an “experience” rather than just a trip. Answer these
questions when researching your bachelor party ideas:
• What adventure activity is the group interested in?
• What areas of the country offer this type of activity during the
group’s seasonal timeframe?
• Is there a major city near the event where people can fly to at a
reasonable price?
• What hotels offer high-class accommodations and fit the group’s
price range?
• Is there a restaurant with a private banquet facility near the
hotel, where champagne toasts and words of encouragement can be uttered
without upsetting the other patrons?
• What are the best bars?
• How will the group get from the hotel to the event?
• If the eventis outside of the city, where will the group stay
the second night?
Why Adventure?
Bachelor parties are about guys getting together, sharing old stories,
and maybe creating some new ones. They are a chance for the best man to
send the groom off in style, in appreciation for years of friendship.
Traditionally, this has involved drinking one’s fair share of alcohol,
heading off to a gentlemen’s club, and waking up the next morning in a
strange place with a new tattoo. Recently, a new trend has emerged. Guys
are now spending weekends immersed in outdoor adventures: leaping out of
airplanes, roping cattle, reeling in trophy fish, and riding wild
whitewater.
Picture this bachelor party idea: 10 buddies sitting in a rubber raft, getting tossed back
and forth, and paddling like crazy through a menacing drop-off the
guides call, “The Meat Grinder.” Besides whitewater rafting, parties can
perform airborne ballets after leaping from planes at 10,000 feet, reel
in fish ranging from 30 lb king salmon to 300 lb sharks, or drive
hundreds of cattle alongside real-life cowboys. As an added bonus, guys
return from the adventure, with pictures, mementoes, and memories that
will always remain special.
Although these adventures bring a fresh, new concept to the bachelor
ideas, groups are given many opportunities to do some old-school
partying. Typically, the extreme adventure locations are located off the
beaten path, requiring a couple-days excursion. Everyone usually
congregates in a major city near the adventure site and spends the first
night enjoying the urban nightlife. Day Two kicks off with an early
morning rise, followed by a trip out into the wild for the adventure
activity.
Some detailed examples of adventure-based bachelor party ideas paint a
clear picture of exactly how extreme adventure combines with traditional
fun to produce an unforgettable experience.
Adventure OPTIONS
Whitewater Rafting Whitewater rafting is an adventure that can take place in multiple
locations across the country. As long as there is a flowing river,
someone will put a boat in it. The trick is finding the rivers that will
take you to the edge, without throwing you over it. Under the guidance
of an adventure expert, guys paddle, dodge, and hold on through class IV
and V rapids, all while taking in spectacular views of the scenic beauty
and wildlife. To compliment the adventure, the group spends the first
night at an upscale hotel in a bustling downtown area and the second
night in more rustic accommodations surrounded by nature. This
combination creates a solid mix of fun and adventure.

Cattle Wrangling Imagine living out the movie, City Slickers. Saddle-up the crew, ride
the open range like old-time cowboys, and drive longhorn cattle through
rugged mountain terrain. In the morning, work alongside real cowboys to
move the thundering herd to greener pastures. Enjoy the sights and
sounds of rolling rivers, towering mountain ranges, and native wildlife
while attempting to control the wild herd. After the drive, see if
anyone lasts eight seconds on the mechanical bull before taking aim at
the skeet shooting range. Recount the day's highlights during a
Texas-style-barbeque dinner including steaks, potatoes, and plenty of
beer. Before you dive headfirst into the cowboy lifestyle, enjoy a night
with upscale hotel accommodations, fine dining, and outstanding
nightlife characteristic of the adjacent downtown area.

Charter Fishing
In groups of four to six people, the guys board separate charter
boats and compete in a private fishing tournament. Someone not only has
the satisfaction of wrestling a trophy fish into the boat, but also the
sweet taste of victory in catching the winning fish to beat the rest of
the bunch in the tournament. While everybody breathes in the fresh air
and takes in picturesque views, the expert captains and crew guide the
team to the hot spots and teach the boys how to reel in the big one.
After a full day of fishing, camaraderie, and competition, a chef "cooks
the catch" at a restaurant overlooking the water. Since most fishing
trips are located in beach side towns, nights will be spent at
Buffet-like bars sipping Margaritas, watching the fade over the horizon.

Skydiving
What's better than jumping out of a plane, free-falling for over a
minute at 120 mph, and seeing for miles in every direction? Doing it all
with some of your closest friends. After some basic training, everyone
flies to 13,000+ feet and prepares for the jump. Hearts pound, men begin
to fade to the back of the line, and adrenaline pumps as everybody peels
out of the plane into the open sky. Once everyone has returned safely to
Earth, the party begins. The boys enjoy beers in the hanger, a bonfire
on the grounds, a delicious catered dinner, and a viewing of the days
skydive video. To enhance this exceptional skydiving experience, upscale
accommodations, fine dining, and locally distinct nightlife in a lively
downtown setting complete the package.
