Activity Breaks for Couples
Activity Breaks for Couples
Activity Breaks for Couples are for two people who’d rather make memories than small talk: a weekend that swaps chores for challenges, gentle strolls for proper hikes, and “what’s for dinner?” for tickets, timetables and the fizz of doing something new with Activity Superstore.
Why an active short break works
- Shared adventure: hiking ridgelines, cycling country lanes, kayaking calm estuaries or conquering a city in 24 hours.
- Built-in variety: theatre shows, museum passes, distillery tours, golf rounds, speedboat rides and spa recovery time.
- Easy logistics: hand-picked hotels, breakfast sorted, attraction entry included, and vouchers with flexible booking windows.
- All seasons: spring hikes, summer paddleboarding, autumn foodie weekends, winter lights and West End nights.
Choose your style of activity
Outdoors & adrenaline
Trail walks in national parks, coastal hikes with proper wind in your sails, zip lines, climbing walls, and guided cycling routes. Finish with a hot shower and an even hotter pudding.
On the water
Kayaking, canoeing or paddleboarding on sheltered lakes and slow rivers; RIB speedboat blasts on the Thames for the grin that lasts all evening.
Fairways & fair weather
Golf breaks for two with dinner, early tee times, and that silent agreement about conceding short putts to preserve the romance.
Culture & city energy
Overnight theatre packages, headline exhibitions, skyline climbs, studio tours and big-ticket attractions—then a late breakfast and smug checkout.
What’s typically included
- One or two nights’ accommodation (3–4* hotels, boutique inns, cosy cabins or lodges)
- Pre-booked activities: theatre tickets, attraction entry, guided sessions or equipment hire
- Flexible gift vouchers (ample validity) and straightforward redemption with Activity Superstore
