    Great views, bike not needed but you can see more of the trail with a bike. Hiked in to the first trestle (about 1KM or 1/2 mile) and views of the forest, valley, Kelowna are very nice and peaceful (on a Tuesday). Saw others reviews complaining about the road to the trail head. Really? There were probably 50 vehicles at the trail head when we arrived from micro cars to pickup trucks. The road is not that bad.

    Rental bikes starting at $50 per 4 hours seems excessive.

    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.

    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

    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.

    My heartfelt thanks to George and Ok Heli Tours for giving my grandson Josh a spectacular tour his 18th birthday. Right from first contact, George was helpful and committed to helping me surprise Josh. The boys had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend George and OK Heli Tours and would certainly book with them again. Thank you so much George.

    Velo Volt is the only bike rental in the okanagan that I will rent from. I’ve ridden in Lake Country and all over Kelowna. Always such a blast and Sarah and Kendra are so knowledgeable and always recommend the perfect routes! Their bikes are top notch and kept in such great shape. Can’t wait for the snow to melt so I can get out riding again!
