Granville Island is a must.
its perfect date destination. go to the food market, get some yummy take out food and go to the dock area and take in some of the performances and the nice scenery.
then take a walk to some of the interesting shops in the area, then walk through the park area.

some activity suggestions:

1)
if you want a great way to sea the city --- rent a sea kayak for a couple hours!

you can paddle most of the way around stanley park and take in the city/people walking along the sea wall from the sea.

you can pull the boats up on any of the many beaches along the way to chill/eat in a cafe.

you don't need any previous experience and it is really easy to paddle around.

rent them from Ecomarine Kayaking in granville island.


2)
rent rollerblades/mountainbikes and check out stanley park/the sea wall. great for people watching.



3)
rent a car and drive up to whistler for lunch. the drive is amazing as you follow the ocean up a winding road and into the coastal mountain range. beautiful.

- you can take the gondolas to the top of whistler/blackcomb and check out the view -- or even rent mountain bikes at the base and ride down back into the valley.


cheers,
sean
