Bachelorette Parties
If you have searched and searched for something new and fun to do, give PaddleTap a try! Our tours are customizable with us operating out of two locations on Lake Minnetonka and surrounded by plenty of local bars and breweries for you to stop and before or after your cruise.
If a late night evening is more your thing, whats more memorable than a sunset boat cruise on the calm waters of Lake Minnetonka! Book a boat tour with PaddleTap and drive only 20 minutes from Minneapolis. Guests at The Waters of Excelsior often find these sunset cruises relaxing and enjoyable, offering a peaceful way to take in the scenery and unwind.
Our private boat captains will give you a tour of the famous houses they know on the lake, make sure to ask them where to stop by after your cruise for some late night drinks! But don't forget you can bring the bar with you as all of our cruises are BYOB!
