BARRIE’S HORSESHOE RESORT ANNOUNCES NEWEST THRILL, ADVENTURE BUGGIES BRP Can-Am Commanders give a front-row view of the stunning Simcoe Forest
BARRIE, ONTARIO, May 21, 2014 – Horseshoe, a Skyline Resort, is the first place in Ontario to offer guided tours of the Simcoe Forest via BRP Can-Am Commander Adventure Buggies. Joining a full roster of high-octane pursuits available at the resort’s Yamaha Riding Centre, these state of the art, easy to operate, recreation vehicles are perfect for those looking to add a little adrenaline to their vacation.
“Thrills are waiting for you at Horseshoe Resort,” says Skyline Hotels & Resorts president and COO, Kevin Toth. “The new Adventure Buggies are just the latest addition to the long list of educational and fun activities for you and your family. With so much to choose from, Horseshoe Resort is the perfect basecamp for your next adventure.”
Starting from $169 per buggy (seats two people), guests will be equipped with all the gear needed to get out on the trails, a professional driver training session and a guided tour through a combination of private trails and the lush Simcoe Forest. The experience lasts approximately two hours and is tailored to the ability of the driver. Expert guides take guests through the basics so no prior experience is necessary on the part of the driver, although a valid driver’s licence is required.
An increasingly popular activity, off-road adventures are a growing sector in Canadian tourism; offering participants a new way to explore the rugged backcountry and wilderness. While most off-roading adventure tours offer standard ATVs, Horseshoe is going full throttle with the addition of Adventure Buggies. With two- and four-wheel drive capability, continuously variable transmission, superior handling and suspension Adventure Buggies are equipped for mud, gravel, variable terrain and everything nature throws at you!
Located an hour north of Toronto, on more than 680 acres of land, Horseshoe Resort is well equipped for four season recreation and is ideal for those looking for an outdoor adventure - with a large roster of activities including mountain biking, an Adventure Park, Alpine and Nordic skiing, horseback riding, snowshoeing and more! After an activity-filled day in the great outdoors, take a moment to relax and reflect at the top-rated Shizen Spa, a peaceful respite for the fatigued adventurer.
