Guys' Trips: Level Up Your Getaway Game

Gone are the days when boys’ trips were all about beer and, well, questionable entertainment choices. Modern men are swapping the old-school antics for unforgettable, action-packed adventures and enriching experiences. Whether it’s a business retreat, bachelor bash, or just a weekend away with your crew, here are some top-notch travel ideas that blend adrenaline, bonding, and a touch of class.

1. Padel and Play in Cape Town

Cape Town is quickly becoming a hotspot for padel enthusiasts, offering excellent courts and a lively social atmosphere. Start your day with a friendly match or competitive game at one of the city’s premier padel clubs. The combination of fitness and fun makes it an ideal activity for bonding with the guys. Afterward, reward yourselves with a visit to a beachside restaurant for fresh seafood and craft beers—Cape Town style.

2. Golfing on the Garden Route

For the golf-loving crew, South Africa’s Garden Route is your paradise. Tee off at world-class courses like Fancourt or Pezula, with breathtaking views of lush forests and sparkling oceans. Round out your days with luxury lodges and fireside chats over locally distilled gin.

3. Craft Your Own Wine in Stellenbosch

Turn your wine appreciation into a hands-on experience in the Stellenbosch Winelands. Many estates now offer custom blending workshops where you and the guys can create your own unique bottle of wine. Cheers to teamwork and taste buds!

4. Trout Fishing and Hiking in the Drakensberg

Escape to the majestic Drakensberg Mountains for a mix of outdoor adventure and tranquility. Spend your mornings trout fishing in crystal-clear mountain streams and your afternoons exploring scenic hiking trails. With breathtaking vistas and fresh mountain air, it’s a perfect getaway for nature-loving groups.

5. Surf and Chill in Jeffrey’s Bay

Renowned as one of the world’s best surfing destinations, Jeffrey’s Bay is a must-visit for wave-riding groups. Beginners can book lessons, while seasoned surfers can hit the legendary Supertubes. If catching waves isn’t your style and you’d rather take it slow, stand-up paddleboarding is a great way to relax and soak in the coastal beauty. When you're done, kick back with fresh seafood and beachfront vibes.

7. The Ultimate Braai Experience

What’s a South African trip without a proper braai (barbecue)? Book a guided bush braai experience, where you’ll cook over open flames under the stars. It’s the ultimate way to connect with your crew and South Africa’s rich culinary traditions.

A Few More Ideas to Consider:

• Experience some of South Africa's best local craft beers in a beer tasting tour

• Safari & Spa - boys need some relaxing as well.

• Exhilarating mountain biking (MTB) adventures through South Africa’s diverse landscapes.

• Hunting in the Karoo.

• Rent Motorbikes for a Road Trip Along Route 62
