Has anyone had experience of a stag do in Albufeira at this time of year and can suggest activities to do and possibly anywhere cheaper, or if it's worth just booking when we are out there?
Many thanks
I'd wait until you get there. You never know what you're going to fancy on a particular day and there's heaps of booking places where you can book boating trips etc around the resorts.
I agree with Glynis, wait until you arrive to sort something out. There are loads of travel/ticket agencies in Albufeira who will do you a deal especially if your a large party. There seems to be a an awful lot of "mark up" on those prices you've quoted.
An example is the waterpark. You can get that for 22 Euro pp in the agencies and that includes return transfers on the dedicated coach
The only activity you could book in advance would be the golf to be honest but other than that everything else could be booked on your first day.

Thanks for your opinions. Does anyone know of any alternative companies etc that may have more reasonable prices for these activities?
There's loads of booths/offices around the resort - you won't be able to miss them 
I also agree I would have a mosey round when you arrive and see whats avaibale. Particularly as you are going early in the season - 16th to 18th April (unless thats Easter?) as you may be able to get some low season discounts if its quiet, or you could ask them if you book three activites would they give you a discount or a 4th for free.
As you are there for such a short period of time though I would try and work out which are priorities so that you dont waste a couple of hours working out what to do.
IMHO April is probably too cold for the water parks, but I am a bit of a wimp. lol.
I like the sound of the Ocean Thunder thrill ride never heard of that before.
Have a great time.

Also worthing having a look at is Quad Ventura
(Not sure if I can put their website so just google and you'll see it.)
We haven't been on one of their tours YET, but I have heard nothing but
rave reviews about them - LOADS the internet if you want to take a look.
