Your Ultimate List Of Unique Gold Coast Bucks Party Ideas
Ah Surfers Paradise, If there’s a better place to enjoy sun, surf, beers, and boobs, we have no idea where that is! So, if you’re the genius who’s organising a buck’s party for your best mate and teh Gold Coast is on your list, good choice. But it’s not just the location that makes a buck’s party great, it’s what you do as well as who you’re with. Thankfully, the GC will bring the activities and the location, you just need to grab the boys. We know you’re looking for something unique for the man of the hour, something to do that’ll stick in your memories forever, so we’ve got a list set up below, have a geeze, have a gander, and see if it kick starts your own ideas!
Jet Boating
We’ll kick off this list with one to get your adrenaline pumping and your lunch barely staying down. Jet Boating, is the strapping of a water jet engine onto the back of a fibreglass hull and sending it off as many big waves as you can find, or making your own to do it, if there are none. If that sounds just incredible and like you’re due for a light lunch beforehand, then trust us, you’re going to love it, just be prepared to get wet.
Barefoot Bowls
The quintessential game for Queenslanders in their laid back style, barefoot lawn bowls has become hugely popular in the Gold Coast region and is one of the few places left you can get a pint for something less than your firstborn. Whilst you can play in any weather, ironically the best time to play is the dead of winter, as the GC’s winter tends to be the summer everyone else is dreaming of. Enjoy the grass tickling your balls as you beat your mate, all under a gorgeous blue sky with a cold pint of your favourite brew, surely there’s nothing to top a day like that?
Quad Biking
There’s no Segways here (although, bashing through mud on a segway sounds like an incredible business idea, remember to check that out later)! With plenty of bush, if you lads are the type that enjoys a day trip of just fanging it around a mud track and coming out browner than a toddler’s underwear, then this might just be the one for you. A beer on a summer's day is even better when you’re all covered in mud after a hard day’s yakka, and it’s an activity we’d like to encourage.
Clay Target Shooting
Lock and load gentlemen, it’s time to show them how it’s done. With a yell of ‘pull’ you’ll soon be ending the hopes and dreams of clay pigeons and upsetting their families in a spectacular fashion in no time! Prove to your lads who’s the best shot with an array of targets, including single, doubles, and triples, plus some moving ones. There’s little more satisfying than seeing that puff of dust from a recently deceased clay pigeon to give the boys a great day out.
Brewery Tour
We’d be wrong if we didn’t mention the incredible brewing culture around Sufer’s Paradise, so gather up the mates, it’s time for a tasting paddle (or three). Have a cheeky crawl through a couple of breweries, from the rustic red brick ones to the sleek modern ones, as long as they have a beer garden they're alright by us! Of course, it doesn’t just stop at the nectar of life that you’re drinking, the food also adds another dimension to the experience. Let's face it, those sliders you can find at a brewery are some of the best in the world, and that’s BEFORE the third tasting. Make the day truly special by hiring a van and driver to drive you between locales, so everyone can enjoy.
Archery Tag
Grab your arrows, Hawkeye-brows (legal reasons you see), it’s time to send an arrow straight at your mate in a somewhat safe environment. Whether you’re into tag or dodgeball, to name a couple, as long as you’re interested in archery, this is the one for you. The best way we can describe it is basically dodgeballs with bows and arrows, which when you think about it, how much more info do you really need?
SCUBA/Snorkelling
With pristine and perfectly warmed water, how could you not be tempted to dive straight in? Whether you’ve got an aquatic buck, or you’re just a regular guy who enjoys the water, grab a mask, and maybe a tank (we hear the M1 Abrams is good), and then it’s time to B&E a fish’s home. With some of Australia’s spectacular sealife living off the coast of Queensland, you’re gonna see such a wide variety of strange and cool sea life it’ll make you wish Avatar’s Pandora was real all over again.
Offroading
For the lads that love nothing more than to load up the swag and get bushbashign, the GC has some prime locations for just that. With the SE Queensland hinterlands open to all, there’s hundreds of trails to explore and even more nooks and crannies of the wilderness to set up a campfire under the stars. Treat your make to an evening by the river with your favourite bevs and natures TV, with the lads he loves the most.
V8 Buggies
Another for the mud fiends, except this time you’re in front of a powerful V8 engine and sending mud flying all over the place as you rip and tear around a purpose built track. With that monster of an engine roaring behind you, the challenge is to trust your seatbelt to keep you in the seat!
If you’re looking to plan a buck’s party on the Gold Coast and needed some inspiration, then we hope this has helped. Remember everything is endlessly customizable, so call the venues if you’re looking for a unique twist on a unique idea!
