Great Escape #1: Mount Benson

Grab your hiking boots and take the trail to the top of Mount Benson. This should take around five hours round trip, but boy oh boy, will you be rewarded with some fantastic views of the Straight of Georgia at the top! You can access the trail head on the Witchcraft Lake Regional Trail.
 

Great Escape #2: The Vault

You’ve clearly earned a little chill-out time, so head to the Vault Café on Wallace Street. Have a bite to eat and soak up the funky atmosphere and the eclectic art in this gorgeous building. There are some gorgeous homemade baked goodies on offer.
 

Great Escape #3: Take to the Air

Get an eagle’s eye view of Vancouver Island on a 20-minute sightseeing float plane tour with Sunshine Coast Air. See the seals sunning themselves on the shores of Snake Island and glance at the beauty of Pipers Lagoon.
 

Great Escape #4: Sunset from Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf is a relatively quick and easy hike – we promise! There are a few flights of stairs and a slight incline. Grab a friend, head up and enjoy the sunset over the Winchelsea Islands.
 

Great Escape #5: Landlubber Pub

Make your way to the unpretentious Landlubber Pub on Bowen Road, where the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Sink your teeth into the house speciality: the Landlubber honey chicken melt sandwich. The portions are so big that you’ll have enough for tomorrow’s lunch too.
