Kayaking

Ideal for stag dos, kayaking is a great chance to get away from it all and spend a few hours messing around on the water. Literally anyone can get in a kayak and learn the basic paddling techniques in a surprisingly short space of time. Outdoor sports junkies will welcome the opportunity to get some exercise and fresh air, while couch potatoes will be pleased you selected something that doesn't involve running, jumping or sweating like a pig!

There are numerous kayaking trips available. Set off on a river safari or check out sea kayaking if you're on the coast, and get up close and personal with the marine life.

A great way to get the boys correct after a big stag night, kayaking will clear heads, sharpen senses and show you natural wonders you can't see on foot or by bike. If you want a physical challenge that everyone from the groom to his future father in-law can handle, kayaking is an excellent choice.

Kayaking stag parties include tuition from qualified instructors, kayak and paddle hire, and buoyancy aids. Tell the boys to bring towels. Even if he doesn't get wet during the actual session, someone's bound to give the stag a ceremonial dunking afterwards!
