Unconventional Valentines

February is filled with love in the air and romantic dinner dates everywhere, but have you ever considered spending it differently? Add a little spice to how you celebrate the month of love by heading out for a Valentine’s Day adventure and ticking off your bucketlist with your special someone. Here’s our quick list of fun activities to try:

Enjoy a tour or two.

There are plenty of two-day backpacking tours that are yours for the taking. See what a tour to Baguio, Ilocos, Cebu, or Anawangin can offer. If you have more time and a more forgiving budget, you can schedule a trip to tour the famous islands in Batanes where you can trek, see the oldest stone houses in the country, and visit lighthouses.

Go on a beach trip. 

That’s right, avoid the traffic on the 14^th and chill out by the sea. Drive north to Calatagan and Laiya in Batangas. If you can go a bit further, fly to Boracay or Palawan where you can tour the underground river and sign up for a Honda Bay island-hopping tour.

Gift an out-of-the-country urban getaway. 

Short in preparation time? Make your dinner date extra special by gifting an out-of-the-country tour. Nearby capital cities outside the country such as Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore are some of the best and most accessible destinations for a weekend. Whichever city you visit, you’re bound to discover great things with your partner.

No adventure is complete without the right gear, so be sure to prepare for your getaway with the proper footwear and sturdy, dependable bags to carry all your essentials. Merrell offers a wide array of shoes and bags fit for every adventure. Excited to plan for your next unforgettable Valentine celebration?
