Take note of the bride’s wine preferences because this tour is customizable! Don’t forget to include a lunch break because no one should get hungry at a bachelorette party!

If you’re looking for the ultimate weekend destination in Ontario, look no further than Blue Mountain Resort. It’s perfect if the bridal party is outdoorsy because you have limitless activities to do here for every season.

You and your friends can hike the trails, go ice skating, ride the gondola, climb the high rope course, and go on a mountaintop segway tour. There are lessons you can book, like snowboarding for a winter bachelorette party.

The best way to enjoy your stay is to book lodging for the weekend. You can choose a luxury hotel or a private home if you come in as a large group.

Pro Tips:

If no one’s up for hours of driving, Au Coach Tours provides shuttle services from various parts of Toronto and the GTA to Blue Mountain Resort and vice versa. 

If you’re having a winter bachelorette party, pack up all the gear you need for your planned winter activities or you might have to purchase new ones at the resort, which can get pricey.

Operating Hours: 

  • Toronto: Monday – Sunday: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
  • Niagara-on-the-Lake: Monday – Sunday: 10:00 am – 7:30 pm

Price*:

  • Public Tour – $44.99 – $54.99

*Prices depend on the location, time, and date of the tour

A unique experience the bride and her bridesmaids will never forget is a Pedal Pub tour. This is not your typical pub crawl—here, you’ll pedal the party bike, take in the scenery, visit some of the most awesome local bars, and have the best drinks!

The bachelorette party package includes 2 hours of fun, 2 to 3 bar stops, and awesome drinks. The Niagara-on-the-Lake location offers upgrades for added fun—maybe ask for a really cool playlist and jam to sick beats?

You can book a private tour if you prefer an exclusive experience, which accommodates up to 15 guests. But if you have a small party, the public group tour is still a desirable option.

Pro Tips:

Even if you’re planning this for a bachelorette party, it’s better to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes instead of heels. You’ll be pedalling the party bike, and your feet will thank you if you wear comfortable shoes.

If you’re on a budget, book a private tour. It’s so much more affordable and you still get the full experience!
