Whether you're a best man tasked with an adventure weekend close to home or planning the intricate details of a destination bucks party overseas, check out these epic bachelor party destinations!

On home turf

Australia brings it with not only world-famous beaches but world-famous party destinations too.

Gold Coast

We're looking at you, Surfers Paradise. By day you can hit the beach, go golfing, go-karting, or even hire a boat for a bucks party cruise to remember. By night head to Cavill Avenue for your pick of nightlife from a chilled-out beer garden with live music to sweaty nightclubs with DJs spinning hit after hit.

Tip: If your buck is a foodie, it's also worth checking out the vibe in Burleigh Heads for a sensational meal at Rick Shores.

Sydney

The Harbour City takes a boat cruise to new levels of fun. Love a bit of hook, line, and sinker? Your group could even go all out on a deep-sea fishing adventure!

For dinner, classy bachelor groups will want to book ahead at Firedoor, for a wood-fired, chargrilled meat dining experience that will set the bar high for the evening.

The day after the big night, you've got Bondi Beach to cure what ails you, and plenty of bars and restaurants in swinging range for a good old hair-of-the-dog session and recap on the night's shenanigans.

Melbourne

Sophisticated bucks enquire within! We're talking cigars, whiskey, wine, and blackjack in Melbourne town.

Melbourne isn't short of amazing bars to get the party started in. If your buck loves a swill or two of the good stuff, consider booking a Scotch Masterclass in one of the city's finest bars.

Crown Casino is a popular choice for Bucks with a poker face.

Love a good drop of vino? Book a winery tour of the Yarra Valley. Strictly a beer man? There are plenty of breweries in the Yarra Valley too and private tour buses are easily arranged.

How to handle recovery day? Fuel up on caffeine in a city that takes its coffee seriously.

Airlie Beach

Got a passion for the tropics? Airlie Beach is calling.

Better make sure your crew has their sea legs, it's all about getting on it in the water here in North Queensland. Pack your sunnies and get ready to catamaran into the sunset with your best boys! For more action-packed adventures, you can jet boat or head out on a fishing charter. Then, there's the Airlie Beach nightlife – meet fellow travellers and easygoing backpackers in the mood for fun!

Perth

Nature-loving bucks should head west for a dose of rugged Perth beauty. Sure, there's all the usual party fun from brewery tours to poker games, but maybe you're more excited by spotting a smiling quokka on Rottnest Island or going shark cave diving in the aquarium of Western Australia's shipwreck coast.

Nature gives a big high five to bucks parties in Perth!

Destinations overseas that go big?

Let's go...

Queenstown

For the bucks party that has it all – snow, sun, and plenty to sip on – head to New Zealand's South Island and get the adrenaline pumping in Queenstown. Bungy jumping is pretty much essential, so make sure your group is up for the plunge! Bucks who bungy together stay together?

Hit the ski slopes (June to October), go ski diving, jet boating, mountain biking... the list goes on, and so does the dance floor at over 150 bars, clubs, and restaurants serving up good times across the city.

Bali

Beach, please! Oh, and the beach has plenty of beers and delicious food, and epic sunsets, and you're likely to see the sunrise too after your pub crawl through Kuta. That's a bucks party in Bali in a nutshell – party, eat nasi goreng, beach, repeat.

Feel like a break from partying? There are magical temples to visit, waterfalls to chase, and stunning mountains to trek. Heck, why not find some zen and do a little yoga in Ubud? It's a choose-your-own-adventure kinda bucks in Bali.

Las Vegas

A party destination if ever there was one, Las Vegas (aka Sin City) was practically designed for bucks parties (just don't try to reenact The Hangover). We don't need to tell you the main event in Vegas (it's gambling), but there are also VIP nightclubs and daytime pool parties with swim-up bars and bottomless drinks.

Take things up a notch with a helicopter tour of the Strip, take in a comedy show, ride around in a limo, or dine at a fancy restaurant.

Pro tip: remember to book in early for any popular live shows or activities, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Miami

There's America, then there's Florida, and it's a whole different vibe down in Miami. And that vibe is Party with a capital P. Soak up the beach and nightlife in South Beach. Watersports are big on the agenda – jet ski, parasail, paddleboard, or even rent a boat or yacht for a private cruise.

Miami is also a great place to book a cigar and whiskey-tasting evening, paired with dinner at a top-notch restaurant and you'll be treating yourselves to the finer side of life in the party capital.

Ibiza Town

Love to chillax on the beach with a cocktail in hand? Watch the sunset and dance under the stars? Sounds pretty dreamy – Spain's famous island of Ibiza is just the place for bucks who love the beach as much as they love to party.

By day you'll hit the Mediterranean Sea – book a private boat to take your group exploring the stunning coves and caves along the coast. Enjoy your afternoon siesta before gearing up for a night of hitting the clubs. It's a special occasion, so why not book some VIP entry to skip the entry queues, secure a table, and enjoy bottle service!

Amsterdam

Does the groom like to partake in a little, erm, Mary Jane? No need to be discreet here, cannabis is legal in licensed coffeeshops in Amsterdam. The city's famous Red Light District is a popular spot to venture, just remember it's a place where people live and work – so maybe take the party vibes to the lively Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein nightlife areas of town.

In between responsibly smoking a doobie and enjoying the local culture your crew could also take a scenic canal cruise or hop on a beer bike tour!
