# Guys Getaway Ideas For Men Looking For Something Beyond A Golf Trip *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated November 2021* Are you thinking about planning your next vacation? If so, then you should think about arranging an awesome exciting trip that is going to be ideal for you. There are lots of adventures that could be fantastic. You just need to make sure that you are planning any trip the right way. Here are some of the best ideas that you might want to explore which could be great for you, whether you are traveling alone or with friends or family.  ## Cruise The Seas With Your Buddies Cruise vacations are one of the most under-rated options when it comes to planning a guys getaway. They are quite litterally a floating resort where each day presents a new set of options in terms of shore excursions as well as beaches, golfing, fishing, exploring local cultures and pretty much whatever you might want to do and see. When you are back on board, since most everything is already included in your fare, eat as much as you'd like including having steak and shrimp every night if that's what you want. Plus, there are cruise itineraries all over the world and for virtually every budget from inexpensive Caribbean cruises with Carnival to luxury voyages with Holland America Line to destinations like [Ensenada, Mexico](https://cruisewestcoast.com/cruise-ports/things-to-do-in-ensenada-mexico) and Alaska, or even small ship cruises like exploring the Sea of Cortez and [Hawaii](https://www.mantripping.com/united-states/hawaii.html) with UnCruise. ## Adventure Sports Vacation First, you might want to think about heading on an adventure sports vacation that could be great fun for both you and your friends. There are lots of adventure sports that might be ideal for you. For instance, you could go skydiving. There are lots of places that you can go skydiving with some providing world famous selfie shots that are going to look great on your social media account such as the [Palm in Dubai](https://www.visitdubai.com/en/places-to-visit/palm-jumeirah-2?DTCM-SN+%7C+UK+%7C+Search+%7C+EN+%7C+Brand+%7C+Guide+%7C+Exact+%7C+New+User&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4b2MBhD2ARIsAIrcB-R4WZM6MkIY4857ikR0AEBVFaq3D5lMD5fCU6hHoqVyGCHCUkfH3hcaAo5nEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). You’ll often see shots of people skydiving here if they have photographs of this activity on their dating profile. Alternatively, you could be even more adventurous with your choices here. For instance, you might want to think about sky diving in the Himalayas. This is a possibility and will mean that you have a completely fresh perspective of this sport. Be aware that this is going to be ice cold so you’ll need to make sure that you are dressed the right way. Or, if you are heading to the coast, then you could consider planning a water sports vacation. This could include things like surfing or even jet skiing depending on your unique preferences.  ## Fishing Freedom  Next, you should think about planning a fishing vacation. This could be more of a relaxing trip and provide you with a peaceful activity that you can enjoy by yourself and get some much needed ‘me’ time. You could even travel with family to somewhere like Orlando, Florida. Here you can drop off the kids and wife at Disney World and then head over to the Keys. This is an incredibly beautiful spot for fishing that could be perfect for you. If you are going fishing then you do need to decide what type of fishing experience you are interested in. For instance, you might want to think about beach or coastal fishing. Alternatively, you could also explore something like deep-water fishing. Deep water fishing could be perfect because it means that you get more of a challenge and it’s a far more physically enduring activity. You’ll definitely need your strength for this option.  Regardless of what [fishing trip](https://www.mantripping.com/fishing.html) you are planning, you will need to make sure that you are investing in the right gear. Resources like [Fishing Sun](https://fishingsun.com/) can provide you with all the equipment and items that you need to ensure that you are perfectly kitted out for an adventure like this.    ## Wild In The Wilderness Alternatively, you might want to think about planning a vacation in the wilderness. An option like this will provide you with the chance to get back in touch with nature and ensure that you have a fantastic time facing the elements by yourself. It’s definitely important to plan where you are going beforehand and ensure that you don’t end up in a situation where you don’t have the right gear. For instance, you’ll need to make sure that you have the right sleeping bag. A [zero degree sleeping bag](https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-sleeping-bag-down-cold-weather) will be essential for colder climates and you can purchase one of these from any of the main travel shops. You should however check the reviews carefully before you commit to this possibility. Next, you should think about getting the right tent. The tent that you choose will depend on whether you are going backpacking or if you are traveling by car. If you are traveling by car then you can take a lot more gear. It’s also worth thinking about exploring some survival tips as you can never be quite sure what’s going to happen while you are in the wilderness. At the very least you might want to learn how to use a compass.    ## Ultimate Road Trip Finally, you might want to think about heading out on a road trip for your next vacation. A road trip can be great fun and provide you with complete freedom to go wherever you want. For instance, you might want to think about planning an awesome road trip across North America. Start in New York and head all the way across to the other side, hitting little downs and tourist points along the way. This could be great fun and the perfect escape to clear your head.  If you are planning a road trip, then you do need to decide how you are going to travel. Our recommendation is that you [take a rental](https://www.rentalcars.com/en/guides/rental-basics/choose-the-right-car/) rather than your own car. This is a particularly smart choice if you’re going on a long trip as you don’t want to add a lot of miles onto your vehicle.  If you are renting a vehicle then you should also think about the type of the road trip that you are interested in. For instance, you might be interested in going a little off-road. If that’s the case, then you should consider getting an SUV. Or, if you want to be a little more adventurous then you could consider taking a motorcycle instead.  --- {"html":""} --- Guys Trip Articles and Ideas: [MANTRIPPING Detroit Sports Guys Weekend: Top 10 Must-Do Activities for a Legendary Motor...   Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fdetroit-sports-guys-weekend-must-do-activities-for-a-legendary-motor-city-getaway.html&id=347&type=blog&site=mantripping) [MANTRIPPING Guys Trip Ideas In Southwest Michigan   Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Funited-states%2Fmichigan%2Fsouthwest-michigan.html&id=351&type=blog&site=mantripping) [MANTRIPPING Beyond Detroit: Best Places In Michigan For A Guys Trip   Read More →](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/api/flowads/click/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mantripping.com%2Ftravel%2Fbeyond-detroit-best-places-in-michigan-for-a-guys-trip.html&id=349&type=blog&site=mantripping) We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
