Planning a Ljubljana stag do is mostly about getting a few decisions made early: when you go, how many are coming, what each person can spend and which one or two things the weekend is built around. Here is the order we recommend, with the booking steps and deadlines we actually use.

The plan in 8 steps
Step 1
Pick the dates
Summer (May–October) is for rafting, canyoning and the boat party; winter has skiing, night sledding and the December markets. Most groups come Friday to Sunday.
Step 2
Fix the group size
Several activities have a minimum: axe throwing, outdoor paintball and footgolf need 10 people, the Odd Sports Olympics 15. Bigger groups can be split into teams.
Step 3
Agree the budget
Two nights with accommodation and the main activities usually cost €300–400 per person, without flights. Agree a number with the group before anyone books.
Step 4
Choose where to stay
A central apartment or hotel keeps everyone within walking distance of the bars. Apartments are cheaper per person, hotels avoid problems with neighbours.
Step 5
Build the weekend around 2–3 highlights
One big daytime activity per day and one big night is enough. Everything else – dinners, bars – fits around it.
Step 6
Book
Ask for a free plan, confirm it and pay the deposit – usually €100, for larger bookings up to €50 per person (your travel agent confirms the amount). The rest is paid one month before arrival.
Step 7
Flights and transfers
Book flights yourselves – they are not part of the booking. From Ljubljana Airport we can add a private airport transfer for the whole group.
Step 8
Final week
Send everyone the timetable, remind them to bring ID, and agree who holds the group kitty for drinks and tips.

Planning for a big group (15–30)
Ljubljana works for big groups, but plan a bit more. Book the evening as one group (dinner, pub crawl, club table) and split into two teams for activities with limited places, such as karting or the escape room. Tell us the exact number early – minimums and maximums are listed on every activity page.
Mistakes to avoid
⏰ Booking too late
Summer weekends and December fill up – start 6–8 weeks ahead.
🍺 Shops close for alcohol
Shops do not sell alcohol 21:00–07:00. Buy what you need for the apartment earlier.
🔇 Apartment noise
Night-time noise (22:00–06:00) is fined €200–400 – keep the pre-drinks quiet.
📋 One organiser
One person collects the money and talks to us – it saves a lot of messages.
🪪 No ID
Clubs and strip clubs check ID; carry it every night.

How far in advance should we book?
Six to eight weeks ahead is ideal, earlier for summer weekends and December. We can still organise a weekend at short notice if places are available.
How do we pay?
Usually a €100 deposit when you book; for larger bookings the deposit can be up to €50 per person. The rest is paid one month before arrival.
Are flights included?
No. You book flights yourselves; we organise everything on the ground.
Can you organise accommodation?
Yes. Tell us the group size and budget and we add a hotel or apartment to the plan.
What is the minimum group size?
It depends on the activity – the minimum is shown on every activity page.
