Okanagan Activities to Enjoy This Summer
After what has been one of the longest years for many people, it’s safe to say that we’re all ready to enjoy some sunshine and adventure this beautiful place we call home!
From sandy beaches to mountains, and everything in between… the Okanagan Valley has something to offer for everyone in the family! Play a round of golf at one of our championship courses, mountain bike Big White, or hike up Knox Mountain. If that’s a little too upbeat and you’d prefer to sit back and relax – take a drive out to one of our prestigious wineries and enjoy a glass of wine while overlooking Okanagan Lake.
With so many amazing options, it was nearly impossible to narrow down our list to just a few favourites. Here are our top suggestions:
