The Malahat Skywalk is launching a new wellness-focused experience this January designed to help visitors slow down and reconnect with nature.
This January, visitors are invited to slow down and begin the new year with intention through the Malahat Skywalk’s new Coastal Forest Bathing experience.
This 90-minute self-guided journey runs from January 1st to 31st and is offered alongside Destination Victoria’s annual Intentions Wellness Getaway campaign.
It encourages participants to soothe their senses, move mindfully, and travel at their own pace while following gentle prompts and reflections provided by a Coastal Forest Bathing guide.
The experience starts at the Welcome Centre, where you can purchase your ticket or use your Annual Pass, and receive a complimentary hot beverage.
The Coastal Forest Bathing guide directs participants through the elevated Skywalk and up the Spiral Tower where they will pause, breathe, and set intentions while enjoying the calming views of the Salish Sea.
Next, it’ll guide you down Luke’s Lane through the forest and Affirmation Trail, which is lined with thoughtful messages to inspire you to quiet the noise of everyday life and discover a renewed sense of calm and gratefulness.
For those looking for a deeper experience, select guided sessions will be offered throughout the month with breathwork facilitator, intuitive coach, and yoga instructor Candice McBryde.
“January often comes with an unspoken pressure to reset,” says Preet Brar, Senior Director of Retail, Sales, and Marketing at Malahat SkyWalk.
“Coastal Forest Bathing offers an alternative—an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and begin the year with clarity and intention.”
If your New Year’s resolution is to move with more intention and spend more time outdoors, this immersive experience offers a peaceful way to start 2026.
