Let's take a tour of some of the most exciting summer adventures in and around Richmond--and match each one with the Mazda that's built to get you there in comfort, style, and confidence.
1. Paddleboarding at Steveston Harbour
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-30
Start your morning with calm waters, ocean breezes, and the charm of historic Steveston Village. Rent a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe and glide through the harbour or along the Fraser River. When you're done, grab fish & chips from Pajo's and relax by the pier.
The Mazda CX-30 is your ideal city-to-shore companion--compact enough to navigate tight parking near the marina, with enough room for water gear, towels, and snacks. Its available i-Activ AWD makes it adventure-ready rain or shine.
Bonus: Add a cargo tray and roof rack for easy gear hauling and a quick cleanup.
2. Scenic Cycling Along the West Dyke Trail
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-5
This 6-km stretch from Steveston to Terra Nova is perfect for a relaxing ride with panoramic ocean and mountain views. You'll pass marshlands, wildlife, and lookout points perfect for sunset selfies.
The Mazda CX-5 offers the versatility to transport your bikes with a hitch-mounted bike rack, while its premium interior and smooth drive make it ideal for longer hauls if you continue into Vancouver or the Gulf Islands.
With the CX-5's generous cargo space and optional roof-mounted carriers, you'll have everything you need for the perfect post-ride picnic.
3. Camping on Vancouver Island
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-90
Looking to get out of town? Pack up the family or your closest friends and take the ferry to Vancouver Island for a camping getaway at Rathtrevor Beach, Goldstream Park, or Pacific Rim National Park.
The Mazda CX-90 is built for longer road trips and fully loaded weekends. With seating for up to seven, advanced towing capability, and plenty of space for tents, coolers, and adventure gear, it's made for making memories.
Add a roof box, all-weather floor liners, and a rear seat tablet mount to keep passengers entertained and the interior spotless.
4. Day Trip to Salt Spring Island
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-70
From the ferry terminal in Tsawwassen, take a scenic ride to Salt Spring Island and explore farmers' markets, art galleries, and local hiking trails. Whether it's a couple's getaway or a solo recharge, the island delivers peace and beauty.
The Mazda CX-70 offers a perfect blend of sophistication and capability. With two rows of spacious comfort, luxury touches, and available roof rails for extra luggage or sports equipment, you'll arrive feeling refreshed and road-trip ready.
Ideal for weekend bags, market finds, or yoga gear--the CX-70 keeps things flexible without compromising style.
5. Hiking in Pacific Spirit Regional Park
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-5 or CX-30
Located just 30 minutes away near UBC, Pacific Spirit offers shady trails, forest serenity, and some of the most peaceful hiking in the Lower Mainland. It's an easy escape when you want a break from city buzz.
Whether you choose the Mazda CX-5 for extra space or the agile CX-30 for tight trailhead parking, both offer Mazda's signature drive feel and comfort for your post-hike return.
Don't forget all-weather mats and a cargo liner to handle muddy boots and trail gear.
6. Sunset at Iona Beach Regional Park
Mazda Match: Mazda CX-70
Tucked away just north of the airport, Iona Beach is a hidden gem--ideal for sunset walks, birdwatching, and quiet reflection. The long jetty into the ocean is one of the most peaceful places in the Lower Mainland.
The Mazda CX-70, with its panoramic moonroof, elegant interior finishes, and smooth handling, turns even a short drive into a luxurious escape.
Pop open the tailgate, lay out a blanket, and enjoy the view--with your Mazda as your basecamp.
