Adventure Bachelor Party

Whitewater rafting is an adventure that can take place in multiple locations across the country. As long as there is a flowing river, a boat can be put on it. The trick is finding the rivers that will take you up to the edge, without dumping you over it. If all goes as planned, guys will be paddling, dodging, and holding on through class IV and V rapids, taking in spectacular views of the scenic beauty and wildlife, under the guidance of an adventure expert. By spending the first night at an upscale hotel in a bustling downtown area and the second night in more rustic accommodations surrounded by nature, one can create a great mix of fun and adventure

What's better than jumping out of a plane, free-falling for over a minute at 120 mph, seeing for miles in every direction, and gliding into a smooth landing? Doing it all with some of your closest friends. After some basic training, everyone will fly to 13,000+ feet and prepare for the jump. Hearts pound, men giggle like little girls, and adrenaline pumps as all the boys peel out of the plane and into the open sky. While flying at 120 mph for over 60 seconds, a professional skydiving photographer will film all of the excitement. Once everyone has returned safely to Earth, the party begins with beers in the hanger, a bonfire on the grounds, a delicious catered dinner, and a viewing of the days skydive video. To compliment this exceptional skydiving experience, upscale accommodations, fine dining, and locally distinct nightlife in a lively downtown setting are a must.

Imagine the movie "City Slickers" come to life. Saddle-up the crew and ride the open range like old-time cowboys, driving 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 lively, downtown destination.

A fishing charter may be a little slower pace then some of the other trips, but bring the Dramamine just in case the guys get sea sick. Reel in a 50 lb king salmon or 300 lb hammerhead shark during a first-class fishing charter. In multiple boats holding four to six people each, everyone boards to compete in a private fishing tournament. The boys will not only have 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 Breaths in the fresh air and takes in picturesque views, the expert captains and crew will guide the team to the hot spots, teaching fishers how to reel in the big one. After a full day of fishing, camaraderie, and competition, a chef will "cook the catch" at a restaurant overlooking the water.
