Choosing an activity that suits the whole stag party is no easy job and most organisers find this a frustrating task. The best stag weekends consist of a mixture of outdoor activities, a nosh up and a few drinks.
Quad biking, off road driving and canyoning are among the activities on offer, however without question, white water rafting is among the top choices for stag groups in the UK.
A fashionable format for a successful stag party that is a fun experience for all concerened is to mix two or three different activities over a weekend. Typically, a few beverages the night before, followed next day by the adrenalin of whooshing down the rapids of a fast flowing river, followed afterwards by a substantial meal and a wee whisky at the bar makes for the complete stag weekend.
A stag party may be all about the Groom, but it also enables people to become better aquainted with each other. After all, when the wedding comes there will be a newly created friendship between two seperate groups of fiends and family.
White water rafting makes a great stag activity as it blends team spirit with outdoor adventure. You can also tailor the level of difficulty by selecting fast, medium or slow rivers, depending on how sporty the party is.
There are many testing and scenic rivers accross Scotland , the Tummel, Tay and Findhorn for example. Wales and Northern Ireland provide excellent white water rafting opportunities. If your group are thinking of travelling to Europe, you could consider the alpine rivers in France, Italy and Austria which carve their paths through vast forests and pasture land.
You can go rafting in many of the most stunning places in the world, from the stunning gorge of the Ardeche river in France to the intoxicating scenery of the Olt river in Romania to the crystal waters and rapids of Morocco.
Reserving your trip with an established white water rafting tour firm will insure that your safety is paramount. With a stag group this is specially important where some of the group might have been rafting before whilst the rest have no experience. If there are novices in then group then never fear. Safety equipment such as helmets and life jackets, plus a pro guide to give advice will help to calm any nerves. It adds to the excitement when the activity is something new and different, helping to take people out of their normal comfort zones.
White water rafting is an unforgettable activity that can turn a stag 'do' into a really special occasion.
Many operators offer complete packages for stag groups, including transport, food and lodgings plus a variety of other activities. This reduces the pressure off the organiser, as everything is set up for you. Less is likely to go wrong, because an experienced tour operator will know the best places to stay, eating places and things to see and do. They'll also have contingency plans for coping with bad weather, airline strikes, illness, and all the other things that could put a dampener on your stag party.
