Night Hiking Adventures

Journey into the forest

Journey through secret trails and explore the darkness of the unknown forest.  In this mysterious adventure, navigating through a maze of trails is just the tip of the iceburg.  Whatever is at the end of the trail is up to your imagination.  It’s time to get outside and explore the great outdoors of Vancouver!

Your Age Your Vibe
18-29

Now you don’t have to go and hike with a bunch of 45+ year olds to experience group hiking. With an older crowd, your vibe just isn’t there (while everyone else seems to be on the same “level”)

Meet New People

Have fun and explore the night with other young adults your age! As young adults, meeting people our age is quite difficult, especially if you’re not in university. Most “18+” activities, when you really look closely, are practically “35+”, so it’s common to feel isolated, pressured to just work hard and just put our social lives aside for the time being. Here you’ll have the opportunity to get to know everyone in a small group setting, which is pretty rare nowadays!

Bring a Flashlight

Use a flashlight to navigate the mysterious forest and discover nature that you won’t find elsewhere. Your phone light won’t suffice.

and Ditch the Umbrellas

It never rains on our Night Hikes. How? Are you the Godman? Well, yeah, maybe kind of – say you’ve had a super rainy week. Then one day, for no reason it’s just clear skys all day. What do you wanna do? Hit your friends up to go outside, as in, TODAY! Clear days wait for no one in Vancouver.

And that’s how we do it. If it’s a nice day today, we’ll probably host an outdoor event tonight. 

Explore nature

Flipping rocks and finding bugs or breaking branches are all part of the journey.  With so many different types of trees, animals, rivers are all around, you never know what you’ll find out here.

Night time adventure 

The night time environment offers an interesting and mysterious atmosphere that will leave you wondering what’s at the end of the trail.  At night, you never know what you’ll see until you shine your flashlight on it, which is what makes the experience so much more exciting than a boring daytime hike where the daylight takes away all the mystery of the adventure!

Conventional trails are boring

Walking on a conventional trail, is the same as walking walking on a conventional street, they’re both really boring and nothing special. Heck you can see both on google maps!  

Here you’ll find many different paths that aren’t on google maps and that nobody has hiked before.   When you walk a path that nobody has walked before, it makes the adventure so much more exciting.  We take you on trails you never even heard of, instead of the same old ones you’re used to.

Connect through Adventure

It’s so much fun when you’re meeting other people while on an adventure, rather than some boring bar or coffee shop just boringly sipping and sitting. With giant crowd sizes in nightclubs there’s no way you’ll get that sense of community and belonging that you do in a small group of other people your age, and good luck filtering through the sweaty crowd of drunk people, boomers included!

NExt Nighthike could be today!

Our nighthikes happen the same day we invite you!  The best adventures are always unplanned.

Secret trails everywhere

The hidden trails offer a way into the vast forest where you will get to explore wildlife that’s untouched.

Pressure’s off

Leave the social pressure of pulling conversation topics out of a hat to the magicians. Instead, welcome fun and laughter as nature just makes the magic happen!

Watch your step

Be prepared to climb over rocks, jump over logs, and duck under tree branches, because this ain’t your average hike. 

Meet Outdoorsy People

Don’t you HATE it when hit someone up and they don’t wanna go outside ’cause it’s “cold”? CANADA IS COLD!  Here you won’t find people who were too lame to pull up because it’s a little chilly. People here love getting outside no matter the temperature – just bundle up and have fun!

No sweat

It’s more like an adventure than a sweaty difficult hike.

Stick with the group

You won’t get lost because you’re not the only flashlight around, you’ll have people in front of you and behind you.  Why would you want to hike alone and get lost in the woods, when you can hike with others?  It’s much more fun and safer.

You never know what you’ll find

You’ll always stumble accross something cool in the forest especially at night.  So don’t just walk by stuff like a normal person go flip over a rock, or pick a leaf or two off the ground! 

you’ll never know who you’ll meet

Seeing the same boring people at work or school can get tiring real quick. Sounds all too familiar?

Meet other young adults who share your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors!

Rain or Shine

Rain or shine, if the forest is still standing, we’re going hiking.

Vancouver Forests are cool

You’re in Vancouver of all places!  Forest is the middle name of this place so get out and check it out with us!

No GEar needed

Normal hikes look like the picture below, lots of gear sweat and back breaking effort just to go and walk through the woods.  You don’t need to pack 100lbs of gear and hike for 3 days just to have fun.

Don’t try to “fit in”. Belong. 

Cold weather’s one thing. Cold people is another. And in Vancouver you can feel both.

It sucks when you’re trying to fit in a new city getting into local social circles around here is impossible.  People here tend to hang out only with whoever they went to high school with which is sad and lame. Here, you can connect with people your age over a fun activity in a small group setting! 

Local Trails

You don’t have to drive 2 hours to Squamish, to get a good hike.  The trails are all around Vancouver – we go to the Westside, North Shore, Richmond, Burnaby, and Coquitlam.

Fun not risky

You don’t have to hike up mountains, and almost fall to your death explore nature.  The trails we find are not dangerous like that.

You’re not Alone

In Vancouver it can seem like keeping to yourself and doin your own thing is what’s normal around here.  

BUT IT’S NOT.

Join our community of outgoing people like yourself. You won’t even look back!
