Browse the top experience days for two...
Stargaze at a waterfall in County Durham
Head for the dramatic High Force Waterfall in Teesdale after dark and you and your significant other will be really in for a treat. You’ll have torches to light up the mighty waterfall at night and if the sky is clear, a guide will explain the web of constellations above for you to experience the romance of an evening under the stars.
Explore Loch Lomond by kayak
Get up close to one of Scotland's most scenic destinations with an active experience for couples on Loch Lomond. Taking to the water in kayaks, you and your partner will have a briefing before you explore the breathtaking loch at your own pace, finding hidden beaches, islands and beautiful views.
Forage for your lunch in the location of your choice
Whether you're based north or south, a foraging experience with Totally Wild means you can choose a location that suits you for couples' foraging. You'll join a professional forager to learn the ropes before harvesting ingredients, samples tasters and cooking a delicious lunch to enjoy together.
Search for the Northern Lights
Always wanted to see the Northern Lights? You don't have to spend days chasing the natural phenomenon in Norway thanks to our Northern Lights dinner and flight experience. You'll have a three-course meal at a fancy Gatwick Airport hotel before taking a three-hour flight with experts telling you all about the amazing Aurora Borealis.
Try coasteering along the Jurassic Coast
For couples who love an adventure, you can try the very British activity of coasteering, aka climbing up rock and jumping into the water, along the stunning Jurassic Coast. Just pop on a wetsuit and you'll be guided to climb the rocky coastline, swim in caves and jump into the sea from a height.
Be a couple of beekeepers in London
If you've always wanted to know more about the fascinating world of bees, London is a great place to learn on an urban beekeeping and honey beer tasting experience. You'll don a bee suit and inspect a hive with the resident beekeeper, and then relax with a honey beers and food matching session.
Have a glamorous ride on the Northern Belle
For a stylish day out that takes in superb country views, a train ride on the luxurious Northern Belle is a must. The 1930s carriages host fine dining experiences that are perfect for romancing your other half. You'll enjoy Champagne and a freshly prepared meal onboard as you travel from the location of your choice.
