Top 5 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Kelowna, Okanagan Valley

July 29, 2021 Brain Ambrose

Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

We promise to stay clear of any deserted islands on this tour. The same tour as the cruiser but sometimes that extra hour can really make a difference. We will let you decide :) Departing from the Hotel Eldorado, we can set sail due South towards Peachland or head North under the R. B. Bennett Bridge towards Knox Mountain and Paul’s Tomb. (NOTE: Groups over 12 will require multiple vessels)

We booked and paid for the boat a month in advance for an anniversary photo session and with less then a week away to the date they cancelled on us! The only explanation they would give is “the boat is no longer available” “we are no longer operating this season” and “we can not give any other information due to legal reasons.” Although they are still posting photos on Instagram and have not posted anything about being out of business on their website. When trying to find another boat we contacted a tour company who apparently uses Okanagan Yacht Tours for their boat tours and they told us that they apparently sold the boat? So many different stories, something is really fishy. We received a refund but we can’t get our money back with such short notice for the photographer, hair and makeup booking etc... and we’re coming all the way from Edmonton as well. So we’re out a bunch of money and the only other boat tours in the Okanagan are fully booked. Totally ruined our anniversary!

Peter was a great host! And he makes it to converse and bond with him in such a short period of time. He was kind and knew how to treat everyone in my family, this kids and up to the seniors and made interesting and fun. The ride was very comfortable and his boat is tidy, clean and spacious. He gave us a lovely tour for a reasonable price! Hope to see you again Peter and wishing you all the best! Jamal
