Organising a stag do is mostly logistics: one date, one list of names, one budget and a few decisions made early. Here is the order we recommend, based on how booking with us works – from the first group chat to the morning you land in Riga.

what most groups book
Six steps to a booked weekend
Step 1
Fix the date and the group
Agree the weekend with the groom (or his partner, if it is a surprise), send one poll to everyone and count only people who say a clear yes.
Step 2
Agree a budget per person
A typical two-night weekend with us is €300–400 per person including accommodation. Decide early which extras the group pays together, such as a surprise for the stag. Our cost calculator helps.
Step 3
Pick the activities
One or two daytime activities and one big night is enough for most groups. Browse our Riga stag do ideas and shortlist three favourites.
Step 4
Send one inquiry
Tell us the dates, the number of people, your budget and your shortlist. We check availability and send a tailor-made plan with prices.
Step 5
Collect money, pay the deposit
Collect each person’s share before you pay. The deposit is usually €100; for larger bookings it can be up to €50 per person, and your travel agent confirms the amount. The rest is paid one month before arrival.
Step 6
Book flights, send the final list
Once the plan is confirmed, everyone books flights. Send us the final names and arrival times so we can organise the airport transfer.
What to book first
Summer weekends fill up first, and so do activities with a minimum group size – indoor karting and laser tag need at least 10 people, strip club packages at least 8. In winter, book the bobsleigh ride early because sessions are limited. Large groups should confirm accommodation before anything else.
