There are a huge number of things you can do on your stag do, choosing the right activity is essential to the success of the weekend. Every stag wants their weekend to be an epic one, one that will go down in history as the best ever stag party.
The Stag Company suggests picking an adrenalin fuelled activity, this will guarantee that your stag do is memorable and most importantly the best! It is quite common for a lot of the stag group not to know each other; dynamic activities will enable the group to become more acquainted enabling the group to bond.

This is available in the following destinations: Amsterdam, Bournemouth, Dublin, London, Nottingham, Tenerife and more.
Bobsleighing
The best place to experience bobsleighing is in Riga; this exciting activity takes place at the Sigulda – the only Olympic standard track in the Baltics. If you have seen the film Cool Runnings you will know exactly what this entails; teams of two or three race down a track on a bobsleigh achieving soaring speeds.
