Wineries and Circle Farm Tours
Turn a Sunday drive into a weekend getaway. Fraser Valley wineries, farms and bistros offer carefully-crafted treats, and B&Bs in the region provide fluffy duvets after a day of exploring.
Snowshoe and Fondue
In winter, snow blankets the North Shore Mountains. Plan an evening snowshoe excursion under the moonlight that finishes with fondue – tours are available to handle the logistics.
Drive-in Theatre
Make movie night a special experience with a visit to one of BC’s three drive-in-theatres. Snuggle up in the car (or bring lawn chairs and a blanket), split a box of popcorn, and catch a double feature.
Hike the Chief
In a few hours, go from sea level to what feels like top of the world. The view from the Stawamus Chief in Squamish is so inspiring that it’s become a popular place to pop the question. Bring a picnic lunch (with some decadent treats as a surprise) and savour the scenery before hiking back down.
Vancouver Vacation
Vancouver and romance go hand-in-hand. Dine at award-winning restaurants or an intimate mountaintop table overlooking the city. See sunsets from the beach or on a harbour cruise. Cycle the seawall or stroll "Lover's Walk" trail in Stanley Park. Other options? Gardens, luxurious hotels and so much more.
Flightseeing tour
Flightseeing tours in this region swoop over mountains, glaciers, city or ocean by helicopter or floatplane. Land on an alpine lake for a remote lunch, or pop over to Victoria or Whistler for a day trip.
Canoe and Camp in Manning Park
Pack a lunch and canoe on the Lightning Lakes chain in Manning Provincial Park (rentals are available). Camp overnight for an evening of roasting marshmallows and sipping wine before slipping into the tent.
Hike Valentine Mountain
Celebrate the spirit of Valentine’s Day year round with a walk up Valentine Mountain in Powell River. The viewpoint is easy to reach and has picnic tables at the top, along with spectacular views of the city, Savary Island and Vancouver Island.
