A Fun and Flirty Way to Explore Belfast: The Pink Hen Party Bike Tour
If you’re planning a hen party or a girl’s trip to Belfast, consider adding a splash of colour and a dash of fun with the Luxury Pink Hen Party Bike Tour. This is not your typical city sightseeing — it’s a lively, social experience designed with groups in mind. Imagine pedaling through the vibrant streets of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter aboard a bright pink 16-seater that’s guaranteed to turn heads and get smiles all around. From the moment I read about it, I loved the idea of combining sightseeing with a party atmosphere, especially since you can BYO drinks and enjoy the lively onboard Bluetooth sound system.
Two things really stand out about this tour. First, the dedicated departure lounge, The Surf Shack, provides a fun start to the evening with a mechanical surf simulator—perfect for warming up the hips and setting the mood. Second, the friendly guides, Stephen and Rebecca, have received glowing reviews for making the day memorable, adding a personal touch that really enhances the experience. However, a small consideration is that the bike is fully pedal-powered, so it’s not for anyone who isn’t comfortable cycling or looking for a very relaxed, non-physical activity. Still, the easy pedal technology does help make the ride manageable for most.

Exploring Belfast on a Pink Pedal Party

If you’re hoping for a lively way to see Belfast’s highlights with friends, this tour hits the right notes. The pedal-powered bikes are designed to be manageable, with the easy pedal system making it accessible even for those who aren’t seasoned cyclists. You’ll get to cruise through the Cathedral Quarter and city centre, areas packed with charming pubs, street art, and vibrant energy. Pedaling along with your friends, fueled by your own drinks and music, creates a relaxed, party atmosphere that’s perfect for a hen celebration.
The dedicated departure lounge, The Surf Shack, is a smart touch, as it provides a comfortable place to gather before hopping on the bikes. It’s also the start and end point, so logistics are straightforward. The lounge’s mechanical surf simulator makes it a bit more than just a waiting spot — think of it as a mini pre-party that gets everyone in the mood.
The guides, Stephen and Rebecca, are praised for their engaging personalities.

What the Tour Looks Like: From Start to Finish

The tour begins right on Belfast’s main street, Royal Avenue, directly opposite Castle Court Shopping Centre — easy to spot, with pubs like Haymarket and The Deers Head nearby. After a quick safety briefing and introduction, you’ll hop aboard your bright pink party bike. The onboard Bluetooth sound system allows your group to play your playlist, so your party soundtrack travels along as you pedal.
Throughout the hour-long ride, you’ll make several rest stops at local pubs. These stops aren’t just for a breather — they’re part of the experience, giving you chances to chat, take photos, and enjoy Belfast’s lively pub scene. Reviews highlight that the stops are well-timed, and you’re not obligated to use every pub stop if you prefer to keep moving.
The tour’s focus is on fun, socializing, and sightseeing. The bike’s design ensures everyone can participate comfortably, and the onboard USB charging ports mean you can keep your device’s battery alive for photos and videos. The ice, cups, and straws included make it easy to enjoy your BYO drinks.
As the tour wraps up back at The Surf Shack, you’re in the perfect spot to continue your festivities. The mechanical surf simulator adds a playful element to finish your Belfast adventure on a high note.
