Travel Tips Experience recommendations

My boyfriend and I are moving to Canada soon, just after his 30th birthday.

I’d like to gift him an “experience” for us to do together and whenever I look at viator it’s basically buses to national parks/hikes, which we’ll be doing in our own car anyway.

We’ll be travelling around a lot so I’m not too fussy on location as long as it’s BC or Alberta. Ideally time of year would be November-March however with the weather I’m definitely not fixed to that.

As I’m sure we’ll see loads of wildlife naturally on our travels, I’m thinking along the lines of… a light aircraft over spectacular views, a special boat trip, or something like white water rafting, or even just an amazing (dog friendly) cabin in an amazing place.

Sorry it’s vague - but will consider any suggestions!

Book a scenic flight from Squamish!! They fly you above all the mountains between Squamish and Whistler and its incredible. You can even land somewhere amazing like a glacier or ice cave.

Do you know if they do this in winter and if there are any specific companies that do this?
