About this experience
Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in a luxurious day of nature, nourishment, and renewal.
Wander beneath the cathedral-like canopy of 800-year-old cedars and Douglas firs in Lighthouse Park, where golden light filters through ancient giants and the scent of cedar, moss, and sea air invites deep reflection.
Explore the wild beauty of Whytecliff Park's rugged coastline, discover hidden tide pools and emerald waters, then savour a thoughtfully curated picnic of locally sourced delicacies and fragrant chai tea overlooking the sparkling waters of Howe Sound.
Complete your journey in the misty embrace of Shannon Falls, where cascading waters plunge down dramatic granite cliffs. Guided by someone who knows these landscapes intimately, you'll experience hidden beauty, meaningful connection, and the rare luxury of slowing down long enough to breathe deeply, awaken your senses, and come home to yourself.

Itinerary and highlights
I will guide guests in Forest Bathing as walk among the 500 year old ancient giants(70 m tall Douglas firs and western red cedars) . We make our way through the park enjoying the coastal arbutus trees and ocean vistas of Howe Sound to the west and then the Vancouver city vistas across Burrard inlet to the east.
My intimate knowledge of this forest, allows me to guide participants to feel more peaceful and connected, more grounded and settled.
At Whytecliff park we enjoy the stunning Vistas of Howe Sound and coastal Islands, we will then make our way down to the beach for some beach combing in the first marine protected area in Canada. Chances are will encounter some harbour seals and other wildlife.
After all the excitement we can settle down for a locally sourced healthy packed lunch with Chai tea at Porteau Cover overlooking Howe Sound and coastal mountains.
We can simply take in the view or do some beach-coming after lunch.
After lunch we continue our journey to Squamish where we will experience Shannon Falls which rises 335 meters above Highways 99, making it the third highest falls in the province.
We then take a pit stop at the Caffe Garibaldi we can enjoy the stunning cliff face of the Stawamus Chief (also known as The Chief) is the giant 710 meter-high monolith that looms over Highway 99 and downtown Squamish. Carved in granodiorite that cooled beneath the ceiling of the early Coast Mountains, The Chief is the second-largest granite monolith in the world.
