The great outdoors have a lot to offer. It might sound cliche, but it does have the power to heal and revive your soul. People who spend a great deal of time in the mountains, trails, and beaches can surely relate. There’s something about the sun and the wind, which makes you feel more alive.

If you’re the explorer type of couple, you probably have your fair share of outdoor experiences individually. Perhaps you both have exhausted the cool spots to visit in your area or have been through plenty of trails. Nevertheless, the idea is to spend some time in the outdoors together. Check out these four outdoor dating ideas:

1. Nature is calling.

You can rent a convertible for a day and spend some time sightseeing on the distant part of the town. Then you can have some picnic lunch outside or enjoy some s’mores by the fire. If you’re the type who loves to walk, then pick a great place to do some camping or biking. Aside from getting in touch with nature, you can enjoy intimate conversations and stories through this quality time in the woods.

2. Outdoor fitness.

For adventurous slash health buff couples, taking your fitness goals outdoors is also a great idea for a date. Run, bike, or swim together. Do your favorite sport outdoors or maybe take a fitness class by the beach or park. According to experts, doing some heart-pounding and adrenaline-inducing activity is great for couples, as the energy can get transferred to your relationship.

3. Beach, please.

Another awesome outdoor date idea is visiting the beach. You can start setting out at the middle of the day and later on enjoy watching the sun set. Sure, this scene is a bit of a cliche from the movies but it works anyway. You might even catch a live band playing nearby or an acoustic session in one of the beach bars. Just make sure you choose a place that’s not crowded. Don’t forget to bring some dinner, clothes, and blankets to keep you both warm.

4. Cool, calm, and collected.

If you’re feeling a bit chill and simply want to relax outdoors, try sailing or go fishing with your partner. I know of a couple who went on a sailboat tour two summers ago and they loved every part of it. When fishing, either go very early or a bit late in the afternoon so it doesn’t feel too hot and uncomfortable. The great thing about spending time outdoors in a relaxed scenario is it gives you both a venue to know more about each other.

Other outdoor activities you might enjoy include driving, parasailing, scuba diving, and horse back riding. There’s so much to do outdoors! What’s awesome is you ladies don’t need to wear heels or glam up. Games and outdoor activities are sort of the gentlemen’s second nature. So gents, the next time you hit the driving range or go out for mountain climbing, invite your girl so she can experience doing the things you love.
