Fact:

EVERYONE loves a good bachelorette party. Now don’t get us wrong, we enjoy a crazy night out on the town - but what about shaking things up and celebrating the bride-to-be with a winery tour while surrounded by giraffes? Or cruising through the southwestern desert in a hot pink Jeep!? We’re here to help you brainstorm some incredible bach weekend ideas + destinations that are a *little* out of the ordinary. Check out these TEN recommendations that will DEFINITELY be a hit with you + your bride tribe.


Giraffes and wine!? Say no more. At Malibu Wine Safari, treat yourselves to a private tour - hop on an open-air safari truck, adventure across the beautiful Saddlerock Ranch, see llamas, zebras, + Stanley the Giraffe, and sip on wine along the way! Your experience is 100% customizable - you can also add in a private wine hike or yoga class, AND even get it catered (we love the option for wood fired pizza from Two Doughs Pizza!)

What sounds more fun (and insta-worthy) than riding around in the desert in a bright pink Jeep!? The Pink Jeep Tours guide you through the breathtaking views of the giant red-rock spires and the area’s most iconic rock formations. You can create-your-own-adventure by choosing which Jeep tour you take (we recommend Broken Arrow!), or opt-in for a hiking tour, or wine tour!

Breckenridge is undoubtedly one of the GREATEST ski towns, and is dubbed one of America’s favorite ski resorts. Perfect for skiing (of course) but is also ideal for other snow-filled activities like snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and our personal favorite - dog sledding! Surrounded by mountains, fresh air, your best friends, and the sweetest huskies, it's a perfect destination to cool off from the summer heat and have some QT with your girls.

Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Portland is Carlton, OR - home of Foothills Farm, the once in a lifetime experience of horseback riding on the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. Tours offer you the experience of everything from Oregon’s temperate rain-forest to the majestic beaches of the Pacific Ocean to local vineyards for wine tasting.

Why not celebrate your most magical day at the most magical place on Earth!? (We can’t think of a reason not to!) Disney World is enchanting all on its own, but having your BFFs by your side while park-hopping makes it all the sweeter. If your bride isn’t a Disney-kinda-gal, no worries - Orlando is chalk-full of all the best amusement parks no matter what she’s into: Legoland, Universal Studios, and even the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

If you know, you know. Palace Bar is arguably one of the best shows in town and the best way to spend an afternoon - drag queens dancing and vogueing across table tops,and lip syncing their hearts out. Your ticket gets you access to this one-of-a-kind show, PLUS an entree and bottomless mimosas. SIGN. US. UP. The Palace Bar also overlooks the beach, so after brunch, head across the street and continue the fun in the sun.

Are you ready to grab your girls and head out WEST for a weekend getaway unlike any other? With a motto like “Tough to Get Here. Tougher to Explain. But Once You Get Here, You Get It.”, it’s easy to understand the mysterious draw of Marfa, Texas. Marfa is the perfect mix - part art hub - part western small town, and full of good food, and curiosities. It’s located in the middle of west Texas and is home to some of Instagram’s most famous photo-ops, including Prada Marfa. Check out our blog for your guide to the best Marfa bachelorette *here* !

Two words: Carousel. Bar. New Orleans is essentially self-explanatory - incredible drinks, fresh seafood, live music everywhere you go (and did someone say beignets!?) - it’s no wonder NOLA made our top list of unique experiences. Although no matter WHERE you go it's sure to be delicious, we HAVE to recommend the Carousel Bar - a classic New Orleans bar that doubles as a revolving merry-go-round which has been turning heads (literally) since its installation in 1949 located in the famous Hotel Monteleone.
