If that work-Netflix-repeat has become an everyday thing, something needs to change. And let’s be real — we all need to touch grass (or water, or sand) every now and then. The good news? There is no shortage of fun ways to get fresh air, no matter where you live.
One of the best things you can do is go on an outdoor adventure with your friends. Here are four ideas to help you kickstart the planning process:
1. Fishing
Let’s start with an idea that seems rather ordinary, but can offer numerous experiences in one go.
Fishing is a classic outdoor activity. It is leisurely. It is fun. And it brings people together. All you need is that rod and a tackle box tucked away in the basement. Don’t forget an ice cooler to keep your catch fresh and some refreshing drinks.
Want to take the excitement up a notch? Hire a professional fishing charter. They bring the gear, tackle, and their local experience so you can enjoy the experience. Professional fishing charters also have tailored adventures to suit the skill level of your group.
2. Party Bike Express
If you’ve got a bunch of party animals for friends, booking a party bike is an excellent option.
Quite possibly the greatest invention of the 21st century, a party bike is a multi-passenger, human-powered vehicle. It is designed for cruising on streets while passengers (up to 15) pedal to help move it. These vehicles have a designated driver who controls the steering and braking.
Party express bike will help you experience the vibrant nightlife of a city. And with music and drinks on board, things couldn’t get any better.
While most people book party bikes to celebrate a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, or a wedding, you can book one to have a memorable experience with your friends.
3. Water Sports
One thing is certain — spending time with friends is healing in itself. But what if there were an activity you could do together to lower those cortisol levels? We’re talking about water sports.
First, doing water sports with friends enhances bonding and builds camaraderie. You can try a multitude of activities, including:
- Kayaking
- Canoeing
- Paddleboarding
- Boating
Being near or on water has a unique effect on your mental health. It relaxes your mind and releases endorphins, which gives a sense of accomplishment.
4. Go-Karting
If your friend group shares love for racing, karting is the perfect activity!
Go-karting is an adrenaline-fueled activity, which is exactly why you can enjoy it with your friends. It combines excitement with friendly competition, allowing you to build camaraderie and enjoy the thrill of racing in a safe and controlled environment. Moreover, go-karting is a flexible activity, meaning it can cater to both small and large groups.
Most karting rings give a safety lesson and teach basic rules, so even beginners can experience the thrill to the fullest. And if you have a die-hard Formula 1 fan in your gang, things are about to get super exciting!
