If you're looking for hen weekend ideas, why not choose Cardiff or Swansea as your destination for a fun-packed activity hen weekend that you will remember for the rest of your life.

So your wedding preparations are all coming into fruition, and the big day is looming close on the horizon. All those months of planning have been exhausting, so what can be better to recharge your flagging batteries and perk you up ready for your wedding day than to take your well-earned hen weekend away.

Hen weekends have become more popular than the old-fashioned alcohol-soaked night on the town of old. These days a bride-to-be can have a weekend away with her closest girlfriend’s that is tailored to fit her tastes and interests.

If you are an outdoor girl at heart, then why not try a spot of gorge walking or coasteering on your weekend away. Quest Adventures offer a fantastic range of activity packed hen weekends in Swansea and Cardiff to suit your particular taste, so why not break from the norm and book a weekend package full of adventure. Wales has a spectacular coastline that is well suited for adventure activities and sports. Weekend packages will come with a qualified and experienced instructor, so you know you are in safe hands.

There are so many options available to you on a weekend like this. If you already have a love of surfing or kayaking, then these activities are on offer for you to enjoy. But if you fancy trying something new that you have never tried before, now is the perfect opportunity to try out canyoning or raft-building for example. If you are a fan of TV survivalist programmes, then why not try your hand at being Bear Grylls or Ray Mears on a Castaway Day. You will learn basic survival skills and learn how to find food, water and shelter from nature rather than from the local supermarket.

You may end up enjoying yourself so much on your adventure packed hen weekend that you will want to return again, and maybe this time bring your new husband with you!

But what if you cannot decide which activity to choose for your weekend? What if some of your girlfriends are not too keen on the one activity that you really want to do?
Quest Adventures can take care of that for you with a Multi-Activity day! Think of this day as being a happy compromise for you and your girlfriends. This option gives you the chance to discuss beforehand with your friends which activities they prefer and would most likely like to try. Then you simply choose the two most popular activities amongst your group to build your day and you get to have a go at both of them.

If you plan to have a 2 day and 2 night weekend with an overnight stay in between activity packed days, then you can book 2 different multi-activity days where you choose two different activities on the second day, then everyone will be happy! You never know – your girlfriends may enjoy a new adventure experience so much that they then go on to take it up as a new hobby or sport when they return home after the weekend.

Don’t worry if you feel you will be missing out on the usual hen-night traditions by booking an activity based weekend. You and your girlfriends may also want to spend a fun-packed evening out on the tiles enjoying a few cocktails and spending a leisurely evening in a top-notch restaurant, then dancing the night away at a club. Both Cardiff and Swansea have a great variety of pubs, bars, restaurants and lively nightclubs, and your accommodation will be within easy reach of all these facilities – so a perfect excuse for getting dressed up and starting off your hen evening in style.

With Quest Adventures you can even have a personalised weekend package built that includes fun extras such as cocktail making lessons, comedy nights, and a guide to the best bars, restaurants and clubs in the area to make for a perfect night out.

With plenty to do and see both during the day and evening on your fun-packed hen weekend, you will never want to go home! You may already be familiar with South Wales, especially Cardiff or Swansea, but by booking an adventure Hen Weekend here you can see the area in a completely different way.

Don’t worry though, once you have experienced your perfect weekend built to your personal taste, you can always come back for more – and stay for even longer next time too!
