Example Groups
Corporations and Firms An evening or weekend ride is a great social and team-building event. We can create a treasure hunt on the islands or just let our guides entertain your group with their stories. Dinner on the islands or at a downtown restaurant can be arranged.
Team Building Programme
Sights On Bikes has created a unique amazing race style treasure hunt that takes place solely on the Toronto Islands by bike. Your firm will be divided up into teams and sent by ferry to various locations on the Islands. The teams will have to solve puzzles and complete challenges at various stations around the Islands. The teams will cross each other's paths, adding to the excitement. The race can be followed by a picnic or meal on the Islands for a debriefing session. Call us for more details. We can even set this up on short notice.
For those with a desire for a more elaborate race, Through a strategic partnership with Toronto based Executive Oasis International http://www.executiveoasis.com and a network of affiliates, Sights On Bikes recently conducted the bicycle leg of a
customised Amazing Race team building session for the executive team of upscale retailer Holt Renfrew. Details on the race are available at http://www.executiveoasis.com/amazingraceteambuilding.html
