Why should girls have all the fun? We share ten guys trip ideas for the ultimate mancation getaway.
Once upon a time the quintessential weekend away with the guys meant playing a few rounds of golf at an uninspiring resort or chartering a boat for a deep-sea fishing excursion. These days, a guys trip is less about impish behavior and more about creating social bonds and sharing adventures (including spa retreats).

Here’s the deal: Taking trips with your friends isn’t just about exploring new destinations. It’s also about strengthening the bond, rejuvenating the spirit and reminding each other why you’ve been buds since that awkward phase in high school (or earlier).
Scientifically speaking, group trips can lower stress levels, improve mental well-being and even increase feelings of life satisfaction. Plus, there’s no better way to share inside jokes and hilarious stories.
Whether you’re in the mood for sandy beaches, action-packed adventures or just good vibes with the guys, we’ve got you covered with ten guys trip ideas.
