    Great moderate hike for solo, family (teens) or couples. The falls were well worth the trip as parts are fairly steep to climb. The water levels were low but the falls didn’t disappoint.

    What a fantastic experience! We are from out of town, this is our second time going to axe monkeys and we were so happy to find they have added a rage room! We brought a friends teenage son, and everyone had fun. The customer service was above and beyond, we had one person that couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances, and we were unexpectedly refunded for that person. I would highly recommend for a fun afternoon! Cost is also very reasonable.

    We did the Potions room. This escape room was well thought out. Challenging but not frustrating. A fun way to spend an hour. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    We went on the early morning ride, and it was fabulous! Troy was our tour guide, and he was very informative about the area and the history of the trestles. He never rushes us during our journey, and I highly recommend this activity. Also, The scenery was amazing!

    My friend and I rented our cruiser bikes (no gears and brakes on pedals) for 2 hours and were able to cover about 20km. We rode along the lake and then up through the Mission Regional Park Greenway. The scenery was varied and stunning. Tyler, the owner and operator, was great to deal with. We reserved our bikes the day before and they were in good condition when we arrived. Tyler had maps for those that needed them. We also got a helmet and lock. Everything from the booking through to the end of the ride was efficient and easy. The price for 2 hours was 15$. I would recommend Loop Cruisers. They are located just behind the Station Pub, just off the corner of Ellis and Water streets (at the north end of the waterfront). There is free two hour parking on the street.

    Chose this over parasailing and ended with the best........at least in my opinion. I would 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone. Don't worry, you do not need to know how to swim. Just not be afraid of the water. And in my opinion, you'd mostly spend time in the air than in the water. I'd be back. 100000/10

    This was my first time parasailing and it was both exhilarating and peaceful at the same time! The staff was amazing and very focused on customer service! I would highly recommend it!

    Every time I think of buying a boat, my wife says; "renting is cheaper and no hassle"! She was right, this couldn't have been a better day. We rented a large pontoon boat that actually had an upper deck and a wet slide in to the lake! Boat was on time, and the rental concierge was kind, thoughtful with great instructions and over view of operation and use of the vessel.
    We signed off, loaded up and in the water we went....; boat performed well and everyone had a great time on our 8 hour run. Hot as hell on land, but perfect temp on the water.
    We called for pick up and our guy said .." give me three minutes" and there he was backing the trailer in the water.....

    Oh, we stopped to fill up the boat at the marina, (bad choice) they are really nice and helpful, but the fuel was 2.70 per liter and our concierge was only charging 2.40 for same...( dont make the same very costly mistake that i did)

    We would absolutely rent from them again!

    Had an amazing day out on the water today with Rodney.

    He was a great captain with lots of knowledge and experience and patience (😂).

    Next time I’m in the Kelowna area I will definitely do another day trip with Rodney.

    On a crisp September morning in Kelowna, the Okanagan landscape was bathed in the soft glow of dawn. My heart raced with excitement as we approached the launch site for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: flying high above the valley in a hot air balloon with Okanagan Ballooning.

    The balloon, a vibrant splash of colors against the morning sky, slowly filled with hot air, rising like a giant as the burner roared. Before we knew it, we were climbing into the basket. Our pilot greeted us with a smile and a few safety instructions, but all I could focus on was the breathtaking view around us.

    As the balloon lifted gently off the ground, the world below began to shrink. The vineyards and orchards of the Okanagan Valley stretched out like a patchwork quilt, the calm waters of Okanagan Lake shimmering in the early light. The air was cool and fresh, and the serenity of floating through the sky, without the sound of engines, felt almost magical.

    We drifted peacefully over the rolling hills, our pilot expertly guiding the balloon using subtle shifts in wind currents. Below, I could see people waving from their homes, and the gentle breeze carried the scent of pine and sage. The view of Kelowna was like a dream—endless horizons, the lake reflecting the autumn sun, and the vibrant fall colours beginning to show.

    After an hour of floating in awe, the pilot skillfully brought us down to a soft landing in a grassy field. As we touched the ground, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the peaceful adventure. Okanagan Ballooning had shown us the valley in a way I’d never imagined, a perfect start to a September day in beautiful British Columbia.

    We were looking so forward to our day with Luxury Lake Tours. Many of our friends have had such great experiences!

    Our captain Cal, was in constant contact, getting plans together for our day. We were going to go down to frind winery, the only lakefront winery, and grab some pizzas and wine for the boat! Then off to tubing and water skiing

    Mother Nature had other plans. The west Kelowna fire got tragically,
    worse, and High winds kept kicking up over the lake. Cal kept trying to figure out the best way for us to reschedule our trip, and to make it happen as it is so beautiful seeing the countryside from the lake.

    Unfortunately, our schedule was too tight. They were absolutely wonderful, honoring their insurance, and refunded back to our credit card immediately.

    I can’t say enough about the customer service, and how beautiful it would’ve been to see Kelowna from the water.

    Will recommend Luxury Lake Tours to anyone headed in the area.

    The kids love Wibit, we go every summer. This year we went to the Kelowna location and spent most of the day there. The only downside is as usual it took ages to drag them out of the water come dinner time. Staff were super-friendly and helpful: other than giving detailed safety tips to the boys Cairo also went out of her way to give me advice on how to treat a minor cut that was not properly cleaned and bandaged.
