Called and booked in 2 weeks in advance for a 2 hours boat rental+driver for August 4th at 5 PM…read more Had a long conversation over the phone just to make sure my friends and I will get what we wanted(tubing+banana boat for 6 ppl). Paid a $50 deposit. Came on the day and they just simply told me they don't have any driver and they couldn't do any of those. They did not realize they have a booking. . Wasted 45 mins of our time trying to get what our group wanted and they eventually called a driver replacement for only 15 minutes. Ended up riding for 15 mins and on top of that, no apology was received Please get your business somewhere. Dont make the same mistake as I did

The owner failed to disclose how the fuel charge is calculated or provide the actual fuel rate…read more They also did not provide an estimated fuel cost upfront, which is extremely concerning and, to my understanding, may not comply with BC consumer protection requirements. Without this information, customers have no way of knowing what they will ultimately be charged. They can simply add a separate charge to your credit card afterward without your clear consent or approval. This practice is very alarming and feels misleading. I would not recommend this place. There are also other reviews mentioning unreasonable fuel charges, so I strongly suggest doing your research before booking.

My kid and I wanted to go kayaking on our last day in Penticton, and this company opened at 9am…read more(all the others opened at 10am). We wanted to start early, as it gets hot out later in the morning, and very people-y, too. The earlier, the better. So by default, this is where we went. And we're so glad we did! Reserving the kayak online the night before was super easy. We paid a 50% deposit for an hour rental of a double kayak (it was in total $40 for the hour). We drove to the site and there was a paid parking lot there but, right beside it, there was free 2-hour parking right on the street after 9am. So duh, we parked on the street! The place opened at 9am sharp. The guy and gal who work here COULD NOT BE NICER. They were super organized. They asked if they should charge the remaining $20 to my credit card (sure!), gave us well-fitting life jackets, and brought us to our double kayak. I loved the kayak! My kid and I have kayaked before in Kelowna, and this kayak here was our favorite. It felt very stable in the water. It had backrests, and grooves for our feet inside. It was a very well-made kayak, for sure. And we had the BEST time! We paddled out far in the lake, which is crystal clear and stunning, and marveled at the surrounding mountains and gorgeous scenery. It was already getting hot out, so we were really pleased we came when we did and not later in the day. And the waters hardly had any other boaters at that time of morning, so it was perfect for us. Getting back to shore, the girl who works there came to assist us (well, me, specifically! As the "old lady", apparently I need assistance getting out of the boat on the rocky shore. lol. And I GLADLY took the help!). She was SO nice, and the whole experience was so fun, I highly recommend it! (Side note: I saw that this place also rents out single kayaks, pedal boats, sea-doos, and other boats. I would definitely come back to this company!).

What a fantastic experience! Two of the children (ages 11 and 12) on our family vacation took the…read moreSouth Okanagan Sailing Association sailing camp for beginners. The kids had never sailed before and the experience was amazing. They attended the class from 1 - 4pm daily (there is also a morning class) and by the end of the week, they sailed across the lake to Naramata and got ice cream and sailed back. They learned how to capsize the boat (the boy's favorite activity) and bonded with other kids on vacation as they sailed. They were responsible for pulling the boats out and equipping them and also taking them apart at the end and putting them away. The responsibility laid on them was great. The kids walked away with a huge sense of accomplishment. Students were in groups of 2-3 in each boat. Instructors were there, but did not sit in the boats with the kids. The students felt safe and learned a lot. I highly recommend this program to anyone with kids who will be in the area. The kids have a wonderful time and it's very reasonably priced. It also gives the adults some free time to go wine tasting or just relax while the kids expend some energy. Check out their website here: http://www.sosailing.ca/learntosail
