Malahat SkyWalk is offering free admission to moms, grandmothers, aunts, and all mother figures on May 10 and 11, as long as one other ticket is purchased. The unique nature experience promises not only panoramic coastal views, but a relaxed, family-friendly outing that’s a little different from the traditional brunch.
Set high above the forest floor on Vancouver Island, Malahat SkyWalk offers visitors a unique way to connect with nature. The experience includes a peaceful stroll along the elevated TreeWalk, views of coastal waters from a 10-storey spiral tower that rises 250 metres above sea level, and seasonal blooms, including vibrant Arbutus trees.
Spring makes the perfect backdrop for a Mother’s Day weekend trip. Visitors can explore the TreeWalk, featuring Arbutus trees in full bloom, before ascending the 10-storey Spiral Tower, which stands 250 metres above sea level. The panoramic views stretch across the inlet and coastline, offering a peaceful, high-up vantage point for celebrating mom.
