Planning a trip to the Central and North Okanagan? Here’s how to make the most of your visit.
What Are the Must-Do Experiences in the Central and North Okanagan?
Planning a trip to the Central and North Okanagan regions is somewhat overwhelming, as there’s much to do yet apparently so little time to fit it all in. One may well ask, “Is this another infomercial?”
Let us help you narrow down your options. We can take part in the planning to ensure you get to experience the most in your vacation.
Wine Tours
This is a great recommendation while in the Kelowna, Lake Country, and Vernon areas. Wine tours are some of the best ways to check out a number of wineries in as short a time as spent in the valley.
Wine tours with us will take you on a journey to some of the must-try venues and wineries, along with tours of beer, cider, and spirits. For groups larger than what we have listed, a tour can be tailored to suit.
Our full-day wine tour is 5 winery stops. Tasting fees are included. There is also a lunch stop at guest expense. The tour runs from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM each day in various wine regions throughout the Okanagan.
Easy wine tours at Sip Happens are half-day tours. The tour will make stops to 4 wineries, and the tasting fees will be all covered. The tours run either morning-10:00 AM to 2:00 PM-or afternoon tours running from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
If you have found a place to stay, contact us and we can set up a time for your wine tour.
Ride the Okanagan Rail Trail
Whether one’s journey meanders along the beautiful shores of Kalamalka Lake and Wood Lake or some of the vibrant urban sections in Kelowna, the Okanagan Rail Trail is an experience not to be missed.
If interested in exploring the Kalamalka Lake portion of the trail, you can rent e-bikes from Pedego in Oyama.
Another option is to join Sip Happens on our Rip & Sip Wine Tour – which combines a 90-minute ride along Kalamalka Lake, then whisks your group away for wine tastings at 3 Scenic Sip Wineries in Lake Country – ending for a pizza at our favorite local cidery!
Pontoon Boat Tour of Okanagan Lake
Come take a tour and enjoy the breathtaking views of Okanagan Lake in style-on a pontoon boat!
Travel the shores, taking in the exquisiteness of the views. Bask in the sun while exploring hidden beaches and private bays.
Okanagan Life Private Boat Charters has fun & friendly captains and are Transport Canada and first-aid certified! They provide a worry-free experience on their 22ft Pontoon Boat, while cruising through wine country and beautiful homes.
You can also combine a wine tour and boat cruise, with Sip Happens Sip & Cruise Wine and Boat tours – which takes you to 3 Scenic Sip wineries in Lake Country, before heading out onto the lake for a 120-minute boat cruise.
If looking to do something unique and different for a larger group event, such as a bachelorette or family gathering, Sip Happens also has our Boat Tour with a Vineyard Twist – which is a full day excursion and boat cruise, and a lunch stop (at guest expense) and wine tasting on a private vineyard dock!
