What to do and see in Okanagan Valley, Okanagan Valley: The Best Classes & Workshops

April 9, 2022 Viva Honore

The Okanagan Valley, in the interior of British Columbia, is a popular Canadian vacation destination known for skiing in the winter and watersports in the summer. The area's quaint towns and lush vineyards are connected by a network of clear blue lakes and rivers and surrounded by rolling, sun-dappled hills. Head to Kelowna for one of several wine festivals or to Penticton for the sugary summer Peach Festival. To the south is Osoyoos, home to an arid desert filled with rare plants and animals.

My spouse and I travel quite a bit to rock climb. If we're in a new place, we like to hire a guide to show us around to the best spots so that we can save time and learn new skills. In this case, we were so happy we did. Lyle was the best guide we've ever had and we've had lots! He was incredibly knowledgeable about each route we did and was very in tune with what me and my partner were looking for in terms of our skill level. We had him with us for two separate days. Throughout that time, he gave us an interesting run down of the area, the history, and the flora/fauna. He had great stories about certain climbs in the bluffs that you would never get out of a guide book. He even spent extra time with us on our last day as we weren't quite ready to quit and he thought we should try another route that he thought we would enjoy. All in all, I feel like I walked away with lots of new skills and more confidence in my overall ability. In terms of the booking process, it was great. There was a fire in the summer that had closed the bluffs. Russ was excellent at communicating with us about the closure, about refunds if the bluffs did not reopen, and then again about the bluffs re-opening so that we could go on our planned trips. Skaha Rock Adventures certainly went beyond my expectations to create a very memorable trip.

My daughter has taken up horse riding in the last couple of months and knew I loved to ride but hadn't I awhile. She booked a trail ride as a belated Father's Day gift for me. Had a great time and Megan is a great host. Easy to find and lots to see, fantastic view of woods lake, Oyama and the valley. Enjoy, we did!

Reviewed By peachlander

I am a Peachland resident and yesterday I started the morning with a fabulous yoga session with Rebecca, she guided us through a very gentle practise with candles lite, soft music , and at the end a gentle massage. Later in the afternoon I went back for a amazing reflexology treatment with Yvette, once again the whole atmosphere of the studio is so zen full with soft music, plants and flowers and smell of essential oils. Started out with a cup of Jasmine tea and then the soak in a milk bath with rose petals sea salt and wonderful smelling oil. The massage was incredible, Yvette is so knowledgeable and in tune with her gentle touch and what she can read through working on your feet. I am so grateful for having Harbour House in our beautiful community of Peachland ????❤️????Dee
