Couple's Passport

Farther Afield
For couples seeking adventures beyond the property, there are numerous activities within a two-hour drive, such as hiking in Pisgah National Forest, water sports with Endless River Adventures, and cultural exploration in nearby towns.

If you’re looking to get away from the property for a day and experience a little more of the Upstate, there are plenty of activities available for couples. We’ve outlined activities within a two-hour drive, and each of the cities mentioned has much more to do as well. If you decide on a destination city, we recommend checking out their local tourism board for more activities and information. Don’t forget, too, our Upstate Adventurer Passport, for more activities in the area.
