Long Weekend Accommodation Packages for Bachelor Outdoorsmen

Sometimes the fellas just need to take a long weekend and leave society in the dust for a few days. Here are a few accommodation packages for bachelors who like to get their hands dirty.

Surf and Turf Long Weekend Package

Nothing short of Vegas says guy trip quite like a chartered fishing boat, but you'll be hard pressed to charter a three-day excursion without doing some serious searching. Ricochet Ridge Ranch in Fort Bragg, California offers a great way to break up your deep sea fishing with some other cool activities through their Surf and Turf Weekend Package, which is a three day offer that makes for a perfect long weekend accommodation package for bachelors.

Accommodations are made at the ranch to stay at a local Bed and Breakfast, and your day hours will be broken up by heading to sea for some serious fishing aboard "The SeaHawk" and riding horseback through the magnificent redwood forests and beaches of the California coast. The last day is usually spent either hiking or biking around the area. Many of your meals are provided by Ricochet Ridge Ranch, and the variety of inns available in the package are broad enough for any group to find something suitable for their tastes. Prices vary greatly depending on the options you choose; visit Ricochet Ridge Ranch for more information.

Guided Fly Fishing Packages

For those more landlocked, a guided fly fishing package is a great way to get away from everything for a few days. Although there are some great lodges that make for a perfect long weekend getaway, some of the long weekend accommodations are multi day excursions that really immerse you in the wilderness. River Wild Adventures of Helena, Montana offers multi day fishing trips along the Flatrock River. Their three day trips begin near the Canadian border and include a fly fishing school for those who are new to the sport. Packages start at around $360 per day.

Weekend Surfing Packages

Get your "dude" on by heading to the beach for a long weekend accommodation package at a surfing school. Sure, you might feel a little awkward showing up with your alabaster friends who are just as clueless about hanging ten as you, but the staff at these surfing schools are completely used to it and know how to get you out there and having a blast in no time. Eli Howard Surf School in San Diego, California offers long weekend accommodation packages that include an "overnight weekend escape," a 3:1 ratio surf lesson, small class size, camping and surfing gear and all meals are also included. Prices start at $150 per person. Contact Eli Howard Surf School for further information.

Whitewater Long Weekend Packages

Although I know my way around a boat and a paddle, I'm a little too familiar with Deliverance and a little too pudgy to not involuntary shudder at the thought of a multi day white water trip without a qualified guide. Wildman Ranch has the solution with long weekend accommodation packages for bachelors looking to head into some rough waters. They have a wide array of packages, but the Mini Vacation package is probably the best bet for guys out for a long weekend. This package includes three days of white water action, all meals and gear provided, plus a choice of 4 "action adventures," such as rock climbing, paintball, golf and more. Prices range from $197 to $253.

Long Weekend Adventure Packages

There's really no limit too how much trouble you can get yourself into over the course of a long weekend. Adventure Weekends offer long weekend packages at sites located all across the country. Almost all of these packages are three days in length, making them the perfect long weekend accommodation packages for bachelor outdoorsmen. There are motor packages that center around ATV's or snowmobiles, skydiving or bungee jumping retreats, cattle wrangling and much, much more. All of these packages include accommodations, meals and just about everything you need.
