Lake Havasu is a fairly popular destination for Spring Breakers. It is geared towards people who might not want the big, intense college spring break parties that places like South Padre Island have. Instead, Lake Havasu has a wide variety of activities to do with your friends during your Spring Break.
Here's a list of things to do in Lake Havasu for Spring Break.
Boating
This is the obvious activity. If you're going to a lake, you're probably going boating. There are different ways to go about here, though.
If you're looking for a nice, relaxing day then head to the cove at copper canyon or the sandbar. Here you will find boats PACKED together with Spring Breakers. Lots of music, drinking, and partying going on here.
If you want more adventure there is cliff diving, jet skiing, wakeboarding/waterskiing, fishing, scuba diving, and more. And if you don't own a boat, don't worry. There are places to rent boats here.
The Great Outdoors
Lake Havasu is in the desert, so there is a lot of hiking, biking, and off-roading to do. Rentals are definitely available, and there are some great places to see out here! Definitely a beautiful location.
Nightlife
It starts to get pretty chilly at night during Spring Break, so people usually come in off the lake. The party continues on shore at places like Kokomo. This place has several dance floors, dj's, great music, and even a pool that you can get in for free if you buy a drink. Probably the biggest nightlife place at Havasu. Another fun one is the night club Red Room.
London Bridge
The historical reason to come to Lake Havasu: London Bridge! They have the actual London Bridge. So the story is that it was sinking into the ground in London because it wasn't built for all the heavy traffic there. Then in the 60's they sold it to the founder of Lake Havasu and he had it carefully taken apart (block by block), shipped to Arizona, and reassembled. Kind of a cool attraction and they have cheap tours of it you can do. Also a pretty romantic spot for a walk with a significant other.
Well, that's not EVERYTHING to do at Lake Havasu, but hopefully you at least have a taste of what it is like now! If you are looking for an unforgettable Spring Break trip with your friends, make sure you check out Inertia Tours. They have some amazing packages to several destinations.
Have your heart set on going to Florida for your spring break trip? You're not alone, Florida is a favorite for lots of spring breakers. In fact, Panama City Beach is the most popular northern Spring Break destination. It's located on the panhandle of Florida, and is a great destination, especially if you're in driving distance. Since there are several college campuses that aren't too far from Panama City, there's always students there during spring break to keep the parties going. If you've never been to Panama City before, here are some things you might want to know.
Where to Stay
Making sure you have somewhere nice to stay at takes the bulk of travel stress away. Once you have that figured out, everything else, like figuring out where to party, is pretty easy.
We recommend the Summit condos. They are in a great location, on the beach, they have big bedrooms and full kitchens/living rooms. This will save you on your spending money. It's also within walking distances to all the good nightclubs. If you are looking for a lower cost option, you might want to consider the Chateau Beach hotel.
The Nightlife
The nightlife is THE reason you choose to go to spring break in Panama City. Most of the big clubs are close to where you would stay. You'll have a great time at super clubs such as La Vela, Spinnakers, and more.
Another bonus is that with Inertia (and only Inertia) you can add to your package our Red Carpet VIP Party Package! Aka the Panamaniac party card. This card has free covers at many popular clubs like Spinnakers, Harpoon Harrys, and Sharkey's. It also includes about 16 hours or so of FREE drinking.
Activities and Side Trips
While the spring break parties might not be as big as they are at South Padre Island, Texas, Panama City really is a great place to go for spring break. It is beautiful (especially the super white, sandy beaches), relaxing, and there is lots to do.
While you are there you should check out Shipwreck Island; they have some pretty cool rides. You could also do some sailing excursions on the Grand Lagoon. Going on a dolphin tour is another fun option. Really, there are endless activities to choose from here.
Get started on planning your spring break trip with Inertia Tours now! You'll get the best deals AND you'll make sure that you and your friends have the best time.
You might be considering a spring break cruise this coming spring break.... DON'T DO IT! Don't get me wrong, cruises can be a blast, but there are plenty of reasons why you should plan a spring break trip with Inertia Tours to somewhere like South Padre Island or Cancun instead of opting for a cruise. We'll go over a few of them in this post.
Spring Break Cruise Negatives
First let's go over some of the negatives for a spring break cruise.
One reason you shouldn't do a cruise for spring break is because they will be crowded! Yes, other vacation destinations will be busy as well, but at least you wouldn't be confined to a small boat! Might be best to stay away from spring break cruises if you're claustrophobic at all. The close quarters also make it easier for food poisoning and illness to become a problem. If one person is sick, it spreads pretty easy on cruise ships.
The restrictions can also get in the way of a good spring break cruise with your friends especially if you're not 21 yet. Many cruise lines require you to be at least 21 to travel without a chaperone, and who wants to go on a college spring break trip with their parents?
Lastly, cruise ships can be nice and relaxing....if the weather permits. If you run into any bad weather, you better watch out. The rocking back and forth gets old pretty fast, especially if you are prone to sea sickness. There's also the furniture and heavy objects sliding across the floor that you have to dodge. Then there's the maintenance issues you have to worry about. No one wants to be stuck out at see without air conditioning or refrigerated food.
Spring Break Trip Positives
Now let's look at some positives for booking a spring break trip with Inertia Tours. There are so many things you get to experience by going to one of our Spring Break destinations that you would miss out on if you did a cruise. One of the biggest things you would miss are all of our HUGE parties we throw! We have thousands of people at our pool and beach parties. We also have the best hookups for local clubs at any of our destinations. It's also nice to be able to stay at a condo that isn't rocking back and forth all the time. Lots of the places you can stay at will have full kitchens too, but don't worry, we have meal plans so you don't have to cook all the time. Getting a taste of the local grub is better than having the same thing every day on a cruise ship.
Being stuck on a cruise also makes you miss out on some amazing side trips! Yes they have excursions, but you usually don't have time to do everything you want to. With Inertia Tours, you have the option to do lots of different activities or side trips. For example South Padre Island has deep sea fishing, skydiving, learning how to surf, dolphin cruise, and lots more!
In the end, it's a no brainer. If you want a nice place to chill with your friends and party with big groups, then book your spring break trip with Inertia Tours. We have been doing this college spring breaks for a long time, and make sure to have the best parties with the best DJ's and celebrities to keep things going. Your price will be lower too, so that's a plus.
Puerto Vallarta is quickly becoming one of the more popular spring break destinations! The weather is great (in the high 80's), Inertia Tours has staff there full time to help get you situated from the moment you step off the airplane, and the club scene is starting to blow up!
Inertia Tours hooks you up with Party Vallarta, which has had experience with Puerto Vallata's clubs for over 17 years. They throw the biggest, craziest spring break parties.
Here are some of the top spring break clubs in Puerto Vallarta.
Xtine
Located in the hotel zone, this is the biggest place to go for spring break parties! It is recently renovated with VIP tables that go around the entire dance floor. Lots of lasers and lights here. There is also a patio lounge located inside the club if you need a break.
Punto V
This club is on Boardwalk, just a few blocks away from Mandala in the heart of the city. The first floor is open and has a breathtaking view of the beach. Has a huge ceiling with a humongous chandelier. Gives it kind of a Great Gatsby movie vibe. Their VIP Sky bar is pretty sweet.
Roo
This club is a whole different kind of ball game. Exotic dancers lure you in from the entrance to an elegant and modern club room. You can get bottle service from private sections or even on the dance floors (that light up!).
Collage
The largest club is Collage. Also one of the most fun clubs, even though it is a bit more casual. They have famous Foam Parties on Tuesdays. Has different forms of entertainment like fire dancers and break dancing.
Mandala
Mandala is the hottest club in Puerto Vallarta right now. They are constantly improving and updating to give you the best experience with music, lighting, and atmosphere. The two-level dance club and bar has huge windows to give a great view.
Zoo
Zoo is one of the older clubs, but is the place to be for old school hip hop lovers. Some of the best margaritas in the city are available here. The place has kind of a wild, tribal feel to it, so you can unleash the animal in you.
Check out the Inertia Tours website to learn more about the clubs in Puerto Vallarta as well as other aspects of a vacation to this gorgeous city!
So you want to have an amazing Spring Break when it rolls around. I mean, going to the beach, hooking up with girls, getting drinks at the club- what about that doesn't sound good to a college student? Except there's only one issue: you don't want to go alone. Spring Break by yourself is no fun. You gotta have your friends there to make it a good experience. But then when you bring it up to them, they say they don't want to go! Is your perfect Spring Break ruined?
No! There is still hope. Deep down, of course your friends want to go. You just need to find out what is holding them back, and resolve the issue. Here are some ways to help you convince them to go on an awesome Spring Break trip with you.
I Don't Have Enough Money
Not having enough money is a common excuse for not wanting to go on Spring Break trips. However, this is easily overcome. Will it cost some money to go on a Spring Break trip? Yes. It isn't free to travel and stay at a hotel/condo. Plus you will definitely want a little spending cash when you get there, but like I said earlier, this is not a huge obstacle, especially when you plan in advance.
It's all about priorities, and finding good deals! Inertia Tours has some sick Spring Break Packages to South Padre Island for under $500 per person! Meal plans are included with Inertia Tours. Also, the low down payment deposit you pay comes off of the trip price and reserves your spot. You don't even have to make your final payment until 60 days before your trip date! Anyone that books a trip this far in advance can save up enough to go.
Spring Break Is Too Cold To Go To The Beach
Is it cold at the beach in March? In most places, yes! Even in Florida it can be a bit chilly during Spring Break. However, Inertia Tours is based in South Padre Island, Texas. This is as far South as you can get and still be in the United States. South Padre has a warm gulf climate that is usually in the 80's during Spring Break, so you don't have to worry about being too cold to party on the beach.
Am I Even Old Enough For The Parties?
Your friends might be concerned about not being able to get into the clubs. You have good news for them. If you book with Inertia Tours to South Padre Island, you only have to be 18 to get into the clubs. It's still 21 to drink, but you can still party if you're not quite there yet. There's also tons of parties and entertainment during the day, including the Coke Beach Stage that offers free entertainment and music all day every day.
The bottom line is that you can convince your friends to go on a Spring Break trip with you! They may have some hesitations, but deep down they really want to go. You just have to figure out their concerns and resolve them. If they have concerns that I didn't address here, go to http://www.inertiatours.com/ and look for the answer. Remember, you only have a limited time to be young and party. Make Spring Break 2015 one that you will never forget!
Everyone knows about Spring Break parties. We see a lot of movies and TV shows with huge Spring Break parties on the beach, with tons of people, beer, and music. But unless you live pretty close to the coast, you may not have even gone to the beach for Spring Break. And if you have, it may have been with family or a small group. Either way, it probably was nothing like what you see in movies and TV shows.
If you've always wanted to see what one of these huge Spring Break parties really looks like, you'll want to watch these videos. I've gone through and found the Top 5 videos of Spring Break 2014 through Inertia Tours. Inertia Tours has been providing great Spring Break experiences for years, and they know how to party. Parties with 5,000 people are pretty normal with them.
I've selected the top 5 youtube videos from the Inertia Tours channel based on the amount of views they got. This should give you a good taste of what REAL Spring Break parties are like.
1. Isla Grand Pool Party 2014
With 195,621 views, this is the most viewed video from Inertia Tours. It has mixed reviews on the likes, but it gives you a pretty good idea of how many people are at the parties, and what the setting is.

This video has Nick Brown from Real World. He talks about what he does and how he hosts parties for Inertia Tours. It shows what some of those parties look like. This one came in at 67,323 views
3. Louie's Bikini Contest South Padre
This video has 42,934 views. It shows one of the many events that happen during parties with Inertia Tours. This one is a bikini contest, but others include dance-offs and wet t-shirt contests.

This is a good video to show what the dancing at these parties is like. Inertia Tours has world renowned DJ's to make sure the music is bumpin, and there are always tons of people. This video had 32,163 views.

Well, now you've got a pretty good idea of what real Spring Break parties are like. Lots of people, drinking, dancing, music, celebrities, and fun. Just remember, you're only going to get parties like these with Inertia Tours. Everyone deserves to have an experience like this at least once where you make lasting memories, meet new people, and have the time of your life.

Spring Break is that one week a year when you can really let loose as a College student and take a break from school, your boyfriend & girlfriend worries, and your so-called studying to enjoy a week on the beach or slopes. College Spring Break is seen as a rite of passage for students at US universities that began in the 1960’s and has become an icon of fun in the sun together with your friends. Planning ahead is often the key to getting the best deal.
US spring break destinations like South Padre Island, Texas; Panama City Beach, Florida; & Breckenridge, Colorado easily the most requested due to both safety concerns – as well as the fact that you can drive there instead of just being able to fly to save money. Eco & Alternative Spring Break destinations like Nicaragua to learn to surf, to taking a short “cruise & stay” cruise to the Bahamas are up & comers. Then…there is the venerable Cancun, still the #1 international destination due to the fact its an unbelievable all inclusive spring break deal.
We receive hundreds (if not thousands) of requests as to When is my Spring Break? That’s the purpose of this page – to tell you when spring break 2014 is and what your spring break dates are going to be.

If you have any questions about when your week of spring break is, or what your spring break dates are, please call our office 800 821 2176 – Inertia Tours
Please call our office for our Inner Island Condos, Gulfview, or Galleon Bay specials. The $250-$325 per person prices are available for small groups of 4 people or more.

Our great trips to South Padre include a condo stay for one week, 2 restaurant meals per day, and access to our kick ass onsite party program. Don’t be a dipstick and call our office asking if that includes airfare. NO it does not – airfare we can add for about $300-$550 per person depending on where you live.

We know you might not be able to swing $1000 for spring break, but look at Padre. Its further south than Miami. Thinking Florida? Well — don’t plan on tanning – temps there are in the 60s for much of March, while Padre is in the low 80s usually.
We guarantee you a full condo at Sunchase Beachfront, Saida, or the Peninsula. All units within 250 yards of the Coke Beach Stage & spring break units are 100% Inertia. Inertia's exclusive Red Carpet VIP Party Package includes not only a true separate entrance each night on the Red Carpet - you get the cover charged included as well as a side trip excursion.

Let Inertia show you our guaranteed largest nightly parties, our included meals, and our exclusive condo & hotel properties for your spring break package. Whether you plan on driving down, hopping one of our luxury party bus motorcoaches, or including a flight.
If you are reading this post you are probably considering staying in the US for spring break travel this year for various reasons. Maybe the financials on the homefront don’t allow you to ask for help paying for a trip that includes airfare so now you have to drive and pay for it yourself. Or, maybe you were thinking about Cancun for spring break but your parents said No way, Jose, due to safety concerns. I’m a list guy, so here you go.
Tips: Climate & how warm the weather will be (or how much snow if you want to ski/board) Distance to drive is it 15 hours or 20 hours?
Who’s vehicle are you taking? What sort of gas mileage does it get? Figure out how many gallons you will use and how much that will cost so you can divvy up expenses.
How many nights are you going? IF you are driving 16 hours one way to get somewhere, staying only 4 nights might be stupid. Consider 5 or more nights. Who will go? Are they responsible enough to make deposits and pay for the trip, or will they flake out? Drama who’s the Queen or King of it, and should they be invited? Who’s the drunk guy? Are you sure you want to babysit him that far from home? Are boyfriends and girlfriends trying to travel on spring break together? It’s a bad idea in my 20 years of experience even if no one is smooching a new person on the beach.
Hotels vs. Condos. Condos make a lot of sense in domestic destinations as you can’t do all inclusive so you need a place to store your booze.
Payment options. Not to toot Inertia Tours horn but we let you put a deposit down, then pay off the trip 60 days before you leave making it more affordable. We also let people use their own credit cards for their own trips so no one ends up fronting the money and getting screwed. Car farters, Make sure the power windows work in the back.
Ground rule setting before you go. Don’t be a weiney and ask someone to drive their $30,000 SUV and then think you can smoke in it with the window down, leave trash inside, or drink in the car when they could get their ass thrown in jail over it. Don’t bring pot or coke or ecstasy down. If you get pulled over & searched that spring break is FUBAR. I’m not a moron, I know people do drugs and drink and drive. But don’t put that on someone else. Your own car is one thing, someone else’s just isn't.
Pre-trip planning. As you will always have one mooch or cheap ass in your group, pre plan. Tell everyone to save some money everybody brings ONE case of Beer and ONE bottle (handle) of SOME liquor so in the very least you aren't showing up with the Natty Light guy that won’t buy anything, sleeps with HIS beer under HIS pillow, won’t share, and steals everybody’s booze.Yeah, THAT guy. Girls are no different they can be cheaper than even guys.
Tips for Girls: Please note this is brutally honest & somewhat offensive however you will be a lot happier on your trip if you look this over:
Go to the gym 60 days before the trip. Girls, at your age if you simply do the elliptical trainer and watch The Housewives of and do it with some zeal for 2 months you will drop weight and tone up. For God sake don’t walk on it and read. You gotta get into it some to burn some calories. Girls showing up fat and doing string bikinis isn't okay really. It’s like a fat dude in a speedo which is funny to guys, but no girl is hooking up with them. Side note: IF YOU do the gym for 2 months, 4 times a week (even if strictly cardio) and 100% do not eat ANY fast food nor fried food you will look better. I’ll give you a spring break trip if you don’t and follow this. What has changed is guys showing up sporting FULL 6 to 8 packs and girls looking larger than ever in the last 10 years. Used to be exactly the opposite. Tanning. Yes it gives you cancer 40 years from now, but 3 weeks of 3 times a week won’t kill you, and you won’t get burned as easy.
Have or buy at least one quality pair of sunglasses. Going as large as possible on the lenses isn't always the best idea. Get a hot guys opinion what looks good In my 20 years I always notice the trashy girls wear metallic shiny bikinis. Stay away from them. Get ONE plain black bikini as it won’t show stains or use as bad; Even if you sport a $300 bikini also get a $40 one at Target as a back-up. You never know you could lose your top on spring break LMFAO but I’m serious here.
Don’t be a cock-block. If you have a friend that wants to hook up, don’t judge just make sure she’s safe, you know where she is going, with whom, and have the dudes cell phone number. Call him and watch it ring. That way you have more than one number/contact person. If you judge, then people sneak around and next thing you know, you DON’T KNOW where they are, you are panicking for no reason, etc. Is she too drunk to really be going with that guy? Then for sure stop her. Is it a guy you all sorta/kinda know? That’s a lot safer of course.
Be friendly. The honest truth is 99% of guys are pretty shy. You don’t have to hit on them. Just make conversation and you’ll meet some new people and have fun. I see so many people not saying HI to people or just making general conversation and (like a bar) people are on spring break to meet other people. (yeah you are too) Dominate the bitches. You know you have one of them in your group. Dominate her from the start. Open fire the second she starts her complaining routine. This can make or break the rest of the week trip. Stay hydrated & take ONE NIGHT OFF drinking. Your body needs it. I can always tell girls that have been down for a week they look like death warmed over. Not sure why, but girls physically their body really can’t take alcohol like guys can, and it will show. Bring your own towel that’s unique. As the week goes on, towels become less and less available.
For the Dudes: Don’t be a moron. Playboy conducted anonymous polls of students leaving spring break destinations and found that roughly 40% of guys had did something sexual with a girl, and about 15% of girls did something as well.
Two things about this: 1.) Guys over shoot & brag 2.) Girls undershoot and don’t
These two things bring this number to about 30% of people hook up in some fashion or another. A full 2/3rds don’t. HOWEVER, more than likely a few girls might have hooked up with more than one guy LOL. But don’t be a moron I mean don’t come down thinking you are going to bang 10 girls and it’s open season. It’s really not. You will need game. If you don’t get laid at your campus you won’t get laid on spring break.
Don’t fall in love. I see this more with guys than with girls. You work this girl all week and fall in love. Come on. She has a boyfriend and live 8 hours from you. It’s not gonna work bro. Not now, not ever. Plus, this is spring break. If you target ONE girl, you should have ONE backup you like just in case. That’s spring break 101. Don’t get too drunk Yep. You have a girl that likes you, but suddenly you are flat out wasted. Yep, no hanky panky for you, no one wants to have some drunk dude drooling all over them or passing out in bed. Or worse yet, puking, shitting, or peeing the bed. Yep, they exist and YEP, not one year since 1993 has went by where I haven’t seen someone shit their pants because they were so drunk. Come on. Don’t be a mooch. Guys are really bad about this. Drink others beverages, eat their food, use their towels, etc. Don’t mooch off your friends. They don’t like it and you are a problem.
Don’t start or be involved with fights. On spring break, it’s not like your little gentle campus bar. These bouncers WILL kick your ass in the name of keeping the peace. AND then they call the cops, so not only is your ass beat, you are now in jail in out of state. You are F'd. Don’t be a F'd. If you have the angry drunk, just leave him at school. Don’t bring him. No one wants to be around that. It’s a buzz kill, girls don’t like it, and you can’t win a physical fight any way you might pummel a dude but then you end up in jail. You still lose. See adage above about the gym. Have girl take you shopping for clothes before the trip including board shorts. I’ve found guys rarely have good taste with board shorts.
