Before you begin your romantic vacation take some time to plan how the two of you would like to spend your time together.



The better idea you have of how you would like to spend your time before you come the better you will be able to make plans for the perfect get away. Start planning and making arrangement for transportation and accommodation well in advance. Four months in advance at the minimum you'll want to allow especially if you want to come during peak summer season.

You don't have to look far for things to do in this beautiful city with parks for strolling in, places to kick back and relax and limousines for hire.

Here's a list to get you started:

• horse drawn old fashion carriage ride through Stanley park

• dinner at any restaurant with view of the mountains and the ocean

• charter a sailboat for the day, overnight or a weekend

• evening limousine tour around Vancouver finishing at the viewpoint

• airplane/helicopter tour of the coastal mountains

• drive along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler and rent a chalet

• indulge in the chocoholics chocolate buffet at the Sutton Place Hotel

• sunset dinner along an ocean side beach

• wall along the seawall

• paddle wheeler river tours

• hiking

• spa treatments

• The list is endless.

Whatever you do as you are making your arrangement be sure to mention that you are on your honeymoon. The hotel may have an unadvertised special rate for newly weds or you could be treated to extras like maybe a champagne breakfast, a promotional gift basket or even dinner for two at a nearby restaurant.

An idea to consider is instead of waiting for the honeymoon, why not plan an entire destination wedding to Vancouver. What you will find is that there are packages available that may include special hotel rates for you and your guests.

Destination weddings and honeymoons are a growing trend and one that shows no signs of slowing down as couples move away from traditional ceremonies and get creative.

To make it even easier, get in touch with a Vancouver wedding planner or travel agency that specializes in destination weddings and honeymoons to make all the arrangements for you.
