Planning a bachelorette party is a big commitment, but it’s easier to get started by getting a little inspiration from the ideas below.
15 Adventurous Outdoor Bachelorette Party Ideas
Mix and match the ideas below or make them completely your own with unique twists.
1. Plan an Adventure in Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree’s National Park sits outside of Los Angeles and is a desert oasis with intense weather shifts and so much to do and explore. You can:
- Camp at the Dark Sky Park
- Rock climb and hike
- 4x4 through the backcountry
- Horseback ride through the park
You can spend an entire weekend outdoors, hike to majestic views on the Hidden Valley Nature Trail or go up Ryan Mountain Trail (for experienced hikers).
2. Go Glamping
Glamping is perfect for the outdoorsy bride who wants to spend a night or two in nature with some of the comforts of home. You’ll find glamping bachelorette party locations in the Catskill Mountains, off the Pacific Coast Highway and other majestic locations across the US.
Spend the night celebrating the bachelorette with:
- S’mores and bonfires
- Everyone’s favorite movies
- Snacks galore
- Her favorite wine or drink
3. Rent a Sailboat or Yacht
One of the fun bachelorette party destinations that you can use for inspiration is to rent a sailboat or yacht. You can do this off the coast of South Carolina, Florida, California - or even major lakes in your area.
Sail around with the bride-to-be, and be sure to bring along board games and drinks, play fun games and take in the scenery.
4. Venture Out to Sedona
Head out to the desert of Sedona for an unforgettable bachelorette party. Situated in the Verde Valley region of Arizona, this area has jaw-dropping red rocks and lots of opportunities for hiking, biking, climbing, rafting and more.
Camp under the stars or stay at a luxurious lodge to recharge after exploring the great outdoors.
5. Stay at an Agriturismo
If you like the Acotar concepts that are fantasy-inspired, consider an agriturismo stay. Imagine you and your girls going to Italy to stay at one of the breathtaking farmhouses in Tuscany and:
- Eating local produce grown on the farm
- Sipping regional wine
- Relaxing by the pool
- Talking to locals
Tickets are pricey, but room and board at one of these destinations is shockingly low.
6. See Portugal By Train
Portugal’s Presidential Train is a multi-day affair that is all about luxury, award-winning chefs serving delectable meals and taking in the sights from a train built in 1890. You and your girls will be brought back in time on a train that has kept its original furniture and charm for over a hundred years.
Stop to eat, take in the stunning views of Vesuvius and sip on Portuguese wine along the way.
7. Go White Water Rafting
Looking for extreme outdoor bachelorette party ideas? If the bachelorette and her friends are really adventurous, white water rafting is the perfect way to celebrate outdoors.
When booking your trip, make sure you consider:

There are tours and excursions for all experience levels.
