7 Unique Bucks Party Ideas You Need to Try
What’s something you can do that’ll be exciting, that people will be talking about it in the years to come as one of the most memorable events of their lives, maybe even praise you as a hero for organising it in a stroke of genius? If your mind is just totally blank at that thought, don’t worry, we’ve written an article just for you. We always recommend something unique and exciting for a buck’s party, after all, it’s supposed to be a once in a lifetime event, so you’d better put some effort in. But if you’re not drawing any inspiration from what the buck has spoken to you about, then have a read on below, maybe we could lend a hand (or brain cell) or two.
Boat Cruise
If you’re wanting to make your buck’s party truly unique, and even relaxing, look no further than a boat cruise with the boys. There’s two fantastic options here- we can rarely make up our mind, but it depends what you’re interested in. First option is a classic, grab a proper barge, open the bar, turn on the lights, and pump the music. From there, it’s grab your mates and maybe a few extras (*Cough* strippers *cough*) and head out onto the bay or even down one of the major city rivers and dance the night away on the waves. It’s hard to go wrong on a summer night, with your favourite bev in hand and a gorgeous set of titties in your face, whilst on a boat, but we do have an alternative. Say the mates on a boat concept takes your fancy, but the partying sounds a little high maintenance, well why not turn it into the time honoured relaxation activity of a fishing trip? Hire out a boat, load your eskies with ice and a few of your favourite drinks, don’t forget the rods, then head out into the deep blue for a day on the water. Pump some tunes and maybe crack out the barbie to cook up some fresh catch or some snags you brought along. From there it’s a full day of sunshine, brews, and the boys, with no worries in the world other than trying to reel in that illusive three metre flatty. We do recommend packing the sunscreen for this one, lest there’s a tomato at the wedding!
Jet/Fly Boarding
Remember that scene in the OG Spiderman, when the Green Goblin hovers up to the group of executives? Well, minus the grenades, capitalism, and green body suit, you can now recreate that out on the water! Jetpacking uses two pressurised pumps strapped to a skateboard to propel you far enough into the sky to get the drop on one of those pesky seagulls. The trick is maintaining control of this super powerful fireman’s hose and to avoid flying over your friends and giving them a high pressure version of that scene from Singing in the Rain. Jet boarding on the other hand is the un/holy union of a surfboard and a motor, controlled by a handheld remote control, almost like mountain boarding, which will send you zipping across the surf with nothing to stop you bar a retaining wall. For those that want the experience of surfing without all the hassle of waiting for waves, this one’s for you!
Shark Diving
A modern classic, and we only say that as back in the non-modern times, people didn’t trust a few steel bars or the creatures of the deep as much as we did. Not that there’s still much to trust when you’re locked in a cage and lowered into a den of some of nature’s fiercest hunters. Enjoy spectacular views of these toothy sea beasties, maybe even as they’re being fed, so you can truly experience the power of these predators. With underwater cameras and the option to bring your own, you can take the memories from this experience right to the wedding projector or even to your grandkids, it’ll certainly be something you remember!
Stunt Retreat
If survival is not your type, how about flips and rolls the likes of which Aussie cinema has never ‘scene’? With legitimate danger, take these stunt courses seriously but marvel at how fun they are as you practise falling, shooting, getting shot, tucking and rolling, and all manner of explosion related flips. With highly trained professionals teaching you the true mastery of the stunt scene, you’ll be able to safely perform your own stunts for your cousin’s 5th birthday party, even if it’s just jumping out from behind a wall. Some courses even offer stunt sparring and prop classes to take your skills to the next level, which naturally means we assume you’ll be shipped off to Hollywood for your big shot.
Game Night
Let’s go international man of mystery for this one, and grab a bougie hotel room, maybe even above a casino, and put your best shirt on. Enjoy your favourite martini or whiskey as you play a few rounds of poker with the boys, maybe with the game on in the background. Of course, you’re in a private room, so why stop there- why not have the dealer be a bombshell babe who'll drop her top as she drops the first card, dealing out the wit and charm along with the wins and losses. To add even more spice, how about inviting a few of her friends to give the man of the hour a sexy and soapy bubble bath for all the boys to enjoy?
Survival Weekend
Get in touch with your inner woodsman by grabbing the boys and heading out to this survival weekend. From the basics like fire and shelter building, you’ll work your way up to advanced trapping techniques and food storage, including smoking, you may even get to practise on all manner of creatures you’ve caught yourself. Spending the evening around your fire and your morning laughing at the mate who’s shelter turned out to be less than waterproof, before helping him repair it of course. These weekends are not for the faint of heart and can require all the grit and determination of a true woodsman, imposters beware!
Outdoor Adventure
This one will be one for the memory books as you load up the convoy of fourbys and head out into the Outback. Whether you’re looking for isolated and secretive beaches, or that one spot up river you’ve been visiting since you were a little tacker, as long as there’s beers and the boys, this’ll be a trip to remember. Sit around the campfire and under the stars with your favourite people and enjoy some well deserved rest and recovery before the big day. Of course, you can spice this up with some classic water sports like wakeboarding and jet skiing, or something a little more unconventional like caving or rock climbing, just ensure whatever you do, you have the correct equipment and knowledge to do it!
So there’s the short list of our ways to make your buck’s party truly unique and memorable, whether you use cameras or not. Enjoy each other’s company and always remember if you’re out of ideas, just ask the buck what he wants!
