White Water Rafting Scotland UK

River Tay Start of rafting trip

Stag Weekends are getting more and more adventure aware each year. We are seeing a growing trend for the boys to want to do much more than just get wasted, which no doubt they have all experienced before!. Today’s forward thinking stag party is looking for stag weekend ideas that provide all the traditional fun and carry on, but also provide experiences that many in the stag group will not have done before.

During 2009 our stag weekends of rafting and canyoning and rafting and river bugging were our most popular but we also saw a trend for stag groups asking to do more and harder adventure activities. Several stayed for the whole weekend and did three or four activities and a few stayed for several days doing even more. A small but growing group did a lot of research and wanted the harder end of adventure doing our more difficult and challenging canyons and rivers.

So based on our experience of arranging thousands of stag events over the years here is seven things that will help.

1. Do plan ahead. Sounds straightforward but many still leave it to the week before.

2. Do something different. Why just go to the bars and get drunk again? Do something inspireing

3. Do research. Thousands of companies on the web, only a very few deliver what they sell!

4. Do ensure you get value for money. A stag weekend does not need to break the bank.

5. Do inform everyone what they are doing! We have seen a trend of the group not knowing what is happening on the stag weekend. In our experience this is not good for the group bonding!

6. Do get fully involved. Before you know it you will be a age where stag weekends are a thing of the past!

7. Do not get legless during the day! Plan and save the night entertainment and stay away from the booze during the day.

Okay so over the winter we scale down at Splash as it is only the Scots guides and a few daft overseas ones that like the Scottish Winter but the busy season is upon us and our far travelled guides have started to arrive so far we have

Scots ( of course we lead the way and keep the rest in check)

Kiwis ( If they had not invented long haul flights they would not be here you know)

Aussies ( See above)

South African ( Stayed around all winter! Sending him to Morocco in a couple of weeks to thaw out)

Spanish ( A knew one for us at Splash we thought we should add a bit of culture to the team)

We still have some from Sweden and a potential Slovaik to arrive yet so a fair mix. On top we will have our old favourites from Nepal and a whole bunch who are not quite sure where they are from!

So when you visit this year if you here a discussions in 8 different tounges all going on at once, do not worry it is normal around here.
