What to do in the Okanagan.

Welcome to the beautiful Okanagan Valley, supernatural B.C.'s very own four seasons playground.  Sometimes referred to as Canada's Hawaii. In the heart of the valley lies Kelowna and the crystal blue waters of the mighty Lake Okanagan.  Here blossom filled early springs  meld right into glorious, long hot summer days.  Beaches of every kind dot the miles of shoreline...whether you're looking to be in the middle of the excitement at Hot Sands or Gyro Beach or whether you prefer a picture perfect more private swimming cove, we've got it all.  If you just find you don't want to leave the lake behind, you might want to pull up into a perfect lakeside camping spot on Okanagan Lake.  Water sports of every kind lay in wait....water skiing, windsurfing, boating, house boating, jet skiing, fishing ,swimming, or lazily sunning, picnicking or barbecuing your fresh catch lakeside. Don't forget to keep a look out for our friendly lake creature, the infamous Ogopogo. Endless summer nights invite stargazing while sipping a fine local vintage. 

Restaurants, live entertainment, festivals, it's all here. The spectacular autumn colors are second only to the Okanagan's Wine Festivals. We're fast becoming one of the world's great wine regions.
