One of our newest destinations, this city in Scotland is fast becoming a popular choice among hen parties, and for good reason. This beautiful city combines great views, fantastic activities, and a brilliant atmosphere with some out-of-this-world nightlife, making it a surprisingly essential option when you are considering where your hen do should take place.
In fact, an Inverness Hen Do is a great choice for many reasons. It’s the third largest city in Scotland which means, if you are Scotland-based, it’s big enough to provide everything you may want without being somewhere you’ve necessarily been a hundred times before. Let's be honest, Edinburgh and Glasgow are nice, but sometimes you fancy something a bit different, don’t you?
The other big selling point for Inverness is simply that this city sits in the middle of beautiful scenery. There is not a long distance between the built-up city centre where you want your group based, and the beautiful open scenery that can provide such a wide range of activities.
Inverness has plentiful accommodation for hen dos. While we don't have large rural party houses in this specific area, we excel in providing City Centre Hotels and Self-Catering Apartments.
No matter whether you want somewhere cheap to rest your head (and keep the budget down), or whether you want something posh because you really fancy pushing the boat out, we can find the perfect accommodation for your group. With the accommodation being well located and well maintained, it’s a piece of cake finding somewhere for your group to call home for the weekend. Staying in the city centre ensures you are never far from the bars and clubs, saving you money on taxis.
Inverness can provide a large selection of activities for your hen do. Some of the more popular options tend to be related to the beautiful countryside surrounding the city. Things like Abseiling give you the chance to really take in some of that beautiful Scottish scenery while simultaneously feeling the adrenaline rush that you only get while descending a cliff at high speeds.
Water-based sports are immensely popular in the area. Inverness is well known as a brilliant spot for Surfing, which many hen parties take full advantage of – either by booking a session and enjoying the waves themselves or just chilling out on the beach. That’s not to say that surfing is the only watersport that is popular amongst Inverness Hen Dos; both Wakeboarding and Kayaking are also hugely popular activities to enjoy on your perfect weekend.
That’s just a couple of the many high-energy outdoors activities available to you. If you want something along those lines but don’t fancy anything we’ve already mentioned you can try tackling a High Ropes Course to see who is the best at climbing and navigating your way around a well-designed course, or cock your bow and see if you can beat the rest of the girls at Archery.
If you prefer something slightly more sedate (and alcoholic), and you are a group who enjoy Whisky, then you can take advantage of our most popular Inverness Hen Do activity: a Distillery Tour. After all, since the Scottish make the best Whisky in the world, why not enjoy a tour showing how they do it? You’ll get to taste it as the tour goes on, so that’s a win for all concerned. If you just fancy tasting some without the tour, we can arrange a Whisky Tasting Session to give you the chance to try a wide selection of beautiful scotch whiskies.
A night out in Inverness is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. The friendly atmosphere and amazing pubs and bars that are available in this city will stay with you for life. Before you head out drinking, we do recommend that you stop off and grab something to eat. The good news is that Inverness can offer you all kinds of cuisine, so whether you want something simple like a burger, something specific like an Italian meal, or just want to try local delicacies, we can arrange a visit to one of many popular restaurants.
Then your night out can go in one of many directions. If you fancy a quiet drink in a local pub so that you can have a bit of a chat and wind yourselves up slowly, then we can arrange that. Alternatively, if you are more of a cocktail bar type of group, that’s fine too. We can even arrange a Bar Crawl for you if you’d prefer, and we’ll make sure you end up in a popular Nightclub to dance the rest of the night away.
