Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb: Non-traditional hen party idea

Want to see Sydney from up above? Spend the afternoon climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Get suited and booted in safety gear and then enjoy the ascent. Offering mesmerizing panoramic views across Sydney City Centre, this is something you’ll never forget.
This is one of our more expensive options, but no doubt one of the most remarkable, especially if your hen enjoys an adrenaline rush. The tour also operates in all weather conditions so you don’t have to worry about having to reschedule should there be any rain. The tour of the bridge takes around three and a half hours, which includes a safety talk and demonstrations. You will climb 1332 steps so be prepared with sturdy footwear.

Sydney Opera House Show: Classy hens night in Sydney

Have a classy night out with your hen and take her to a show at the famous Opera House! The Opera House offers over 40 shows every week, ranging from opera, musical artists, variety shows and more. There is something to suit everyone’s taste. Be sure to book tickets in advance as they tend to sell out quickly. Whilst you can buy tickets from many vendors, we recommend you buy directly either at their box office or online from their website (included below).
If you would like to find out more about the Opera House you can also take a tour. They offer many different ones including a backstage tour, a tour of the whole building, and a show and dining tour.

Afternoon at Manly Beach: Affordable hen party in Sydney

Walk right past Bondi and head straight to Manly! Bondi can be very busy and manic, while Manly offers a much more inviting atmosphere. A unique seaside town has everything you need for a relaxing hen do. Head to one of the many pubs there for some lunch and a few drinks and then make your way down to the beach. Another option is to take a picnic packed with all of the brides personal faves! Soak up the sun and enjoy the beautiful ocean views with the girls. If your hen is adventurous, Manly Beach was where the first ever world surfing contest was held, so sign up for surf lessons and spend the day on the water.
If your hen is an outdoorsy type, there is a 10km hiking track that links the Spit bridge and Manly Beach. This offers stunning views of the various secluded beaches, such as Fisher Bay and Sandy Beach that make up the trail. These more secluded beaches are fab for providing more privacy for your hen party. Manly Beach is also the main access port to visit the Grotto Point Lighthouse should you want to take a look.
