The Best Bucks Party Ideas in Adelaide for a Wild Weekend

Ah, a bucks party, the one night where the groom-to-be gets a proper send-off before (theoretically) mellowing the wildness. Jokes aside, this is an event that should go down in history; you don’t want your mate to say “I do” without asking “What the heck did we do?”

Luckily, Adelaide is no stranger to wicked, rowdy, and madcap bucks parties, with venues that know how to throw final hurrahs. 

Want to know the deets? Like a best man with a bail fund, we have you covered!

Party Packages

Embark on a booze-infused with The Bucks Co

From thebucksco

Price: $26 per person
Max guest number: 50
Duration: 1.5 hours
Website

The Bucks Co knows how to throw a bash, and their yacht cruise will have you partying Jordan Belfort-style, minus the quaaludes, of course. What you’ll get, though, is a beer-filled fridge, gourmet BBQs, and your personal, dedicated crew.

Spicier add-ons are also available—if you catch our drift. But if you’d rather just chill and crack open some cold ones while enjoying the Adelaide sunset and coastline with the bros, we recommend adding a brewery tour to the package, just like what most patrons do.

Tip: This is available rain or shine, but we suggest picking a day with great weather.

Channel your inner Rambo with Wicked Bucks

From wicked_bucks

Price: $360 per person
Website

The Wicked Bucks’ Paintball & Party Package is basically paintball with extra twists. For starters, the buck will be dressed in pink during the games, while the rest of the group goes full-on skirmish mode in full battle gear.

A private BBQ and beer session comes with this package too, ideal for those whose definition of a party is downing tenderloins and rump steaks. Afterward, you’ll be sent to a CBD nightclub where the group can drink, dance, and probably crawl their way home.

Tip: Pack extra clothes. This package is messy, and it lasts an entire day.

Unleash your inner Viking at MANIAX

From maniax.au

If all the pre-wedding shenanigans are driving your mate bonkers, help him unleash some pent-up anger at MANIAX, Adelaide’s top ax-throwing venue. Here, you’ll enjoy 2 hours of ax-throwing madness paired with food and drinks like pizza and craft beer.

A mini-tournament adds some competitive flair, turning friendly throws into an epic showdown. Plus, there’s no need to stress about the event’s flow; the host will handle everything so you can focus on your aim.

Tip: Score some merch. You might need extra clothes as the party unfolds.

Race at Kartmania

Operating Hours:

  • Mon to Fri – 12 pm to 8 pm
  • Sat to Sun – 10 am to 8 pm

Website

Karmania will fuel your bucks party with high-speed twists and turns. The track here is a 600-meter, NASCAR-inspired venue boasting 14 corners, while the karts can reach speeds of up to 65 kph.

Each race runs for 10 minutes, giving you (especially the groom) a chance to clear your thoughts or chase the fastest lap for bragging rights. Oh, and you can also duke it out in their high-tech laser tag arena for a few extra bucks.

Tip: Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes, steer clear of loose clothing or scarves, secure long hair, and put on the provided balaclava when wearing a helmet.

Go full Robinhood on your mates with Archery Attack

From archeryattack

Prices: $40 to $50 per person
Website

Thinking of combining archery, paintball, and dodgeball for your bucks party? If your head is nodding vigorously, Archery Attack is the party provider to hit.

These mobile party pros can transform any indoor or outdoor space into archery battlegrounds. They can even amp up the excitement by adding inflatables for cover and distraction, all while providing archery lessons and gear!

Tip: The package is customizable, but a minimum of 10 bows is required. We suggest inviting at least 10 people.

Tee off with the boys at Holey Moley

From holeymoleygolf

Website

Traditional golf parties? Been there, done that—for a thousand times, unfortunately. That’s why we went with Holey Moley, a mini-golf venue where sunburns, cliche rounds, and walking won’t ruin the mood.

The real attraction is the themed holes, each packed with pop culture and funny references that’ll make you grin between swings. A 2-hour bev package is also available, and getting this ensures a reserved spot for your game and a host to keep the vibes going.

Tip: Holey Moley won’t stop you from customizing the party. Simply hit the number above if you want some changes.

Dodge and score in bubble soccer with Bubble Sports

Prices: $450 to $850 per group
Website

Bubble Sports takes soccer and flips it on its head, making it ideal for a no-rules, anything-goes bucks party. The twist? You’re encased in giant inflatable bubbles, so it’s less about scoring goals and more about bouncing around in “controlled” chaos.

You call the shots on the venue, though, but it’s better to make it roomy and green. The good news is that Bubble Sports will take care of the rest, from the setup and final clean to the add-ons to tailor the day to the groom’s tastes.

Tip: If you want more mayhem, consider setting the party on a rainy day.

A bucks party at RoofClimb guarantees stunning city views (thanks to the 50-meter Adelaide Oval ascent), heart-racing thrills, and post-climb booze.

On top of that, you’ll have loads of packages to choose from, including a day option for those who love soaking up the sun and a twilight choice for golden-hour scenery. For us, however, the night option is the clear winner, as it includes rooftop discos.

Tip: You have to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing.

Set sail with Popeye River Cruises

A mate of mine threw a bucks party with Popeye River Cruises, and let me tell you, floating on the calm Torrens River while partying and sightseeing is a next-level experience.

The event didn’t skimp on drinks. Beers, ciders, South Australian wines, you name it, they poured it. What I loved most, though, was the freedom to make stops—a lifesaver for my mates looking to recover from their spinning heads.

Tip: You can bring your own drinks. In addition, you can get discount codes from their Instagram.

When “chill” isn’t in the groom’s vocabulary, set the party at West Beach Adventure. More than 70 sky-high challenges await here, including tightropes, aerial tennis, and gladiator battles.

The top challenge is found at the MegaJump, where your fearless crew can climb up to 30 meters and take the leap of faith. But if that doesn’t get the adrenaline pumping, try the Giant Swing; you’ll be lifted 18 meters high before getting launched at around 60 kph!

Tip: You can spice up your visit by coming during an event.

Hunt at Moorook Game Reserve

From the_cobbs_travel

Address: Kingston on Murray
Contact Details: Daily – 24 hours

Hunting enthusiasts about to tie the knot will find Moorook Game Reserve hard to resist. Open seasons for duck and quail hunting mean you can indulge your hobby here—provided you stick to ethical, sustainable, and legal standards.

Downloading the map is also essential since the reserve is large, and you wouldn’t want to set up in a restricted area. Group sizes aren’t limited too, but it’s smart to keep it small; scaring the game by rolling in with a crew of 20+ hunters is the opposite of hunting.

Tip: Why not make your hunt better by camping overnight?

Whether you’re a group of fishing experts who can catch fish in a flash or a crew of complete rookies who’ve never held a rod, the 30-year-old Go Get’Em Fishing Charters will get you hooked on angling.

The action happens aboard their 7.2-meter Sailfish Catamaran, perfect for a party of up to six passengers. As for the fishing grounds, Marion Bay, Encounter Bay, and West Beach are the go-tos, as they brim with snapper, whiting, squid, and tuna.

Tip: Familiarize yourself with the prices, especially if you’re cruising with a huge crew!
