We had an absolutely magical experience glamping with Get Lost. We loved the fact that we didn't…read morehave to pack any supplies; we just showed up and there was a fully-stocked kitchen tent, and a beautiful bell tent (with a queen bed!) all set up fo us. All we brought was food and clothes. The location (just outside of Armstrong) is gorgeous: it's a combination of foothills, rolling green pastures, and forest. Our kids loved hunting for treasure with the metal detector, playing the giant chess set, and setting up croquet courses. We also rented the fire-heated outdoor hot tub one night, which was awesome.

Was in this gym while visiting my mom in Vernon…read more Had everything you need to get a good workout in. Was clean and organized very well. The protein shakes were good and also priced good! Lotsa parking and they even have a punching bag upstairs. I will be definitely coming here again tomorrow and next time I am in town visiting my mom. Considering it's a 5 min drive from her house.

I would give no stars if I could. The facilities are way too small and not enough free weights…read more 2/3rds of the gym is bikes and machines. One flat bench press. Yes one. One of their multitudes of cross-fitters there will use that one bench press for an hour doing 30 sets of 1/8th reps. The people working there don't really seem to lift. Oh and make sure you don't grunt while working out, they just think that's icky.

Couldn't be more thrilled with our experience with Okanagan Skydive! Staff was very professional…read moreand that's comforting when you are about to jump out of a plane. We were walked through how the jump would go. The wonderful Ted prepared us by showing us positions and explaining what we would experience while we were in the air with our tandem partner. At no point did I feel unsafe or afraid (except the moment we were perched on the side of the plane, but I think someone would be a little crazy to not feel a bit trepidatious at that point). Bruce and Rocky (our tandem partners) were very friendly and superbly comforting. They walked us through everything we were doing as we were doing it so we understood the whys and hows. They also showed us the beautiful sights of Vernon while we ascended. The views were spectacular! The jump itself was flawless. It feels as though you're actually flying and all fear leaves you as you leave the plane and it's an experience I can't quite explain. I can only say to try it for yourself, and Okanagan Skydive is the company to choose if it's something you want to try!

Great dropzone for tandems! Safety 1st. Not a big fun jumper community but everyone is excited and…read morehaving a blast

We drove up to Vernon to watch a Murder Mystery Dinner Show at this ranch. Since we were there…read moreearly and there was nothing to do, we decided to check out the farm animals they had. Much to our surprise, they didn't look anything like your average farm animal. Some chickens had plumes on the top of their head, making them look like they had a bad hair day; some had furry feet. The rams had four horns that looped around the side of their heads. They also had a dozen colorful birds. After a tour of the farm, we went back to the restaurant where the show was about to start. As the story went on, we were guided to different parts of the ranch. It wasn't a far walk, and the actors, though funny, were convincing. We headed back to the restaurant where we were seated with a few people we didn't know. Many people from Kelowna are friendly, so we didn't mind. Clues were passed around so we can guess who the murderer was, write it on a piece of paper and submit it for drawing. Before they revealed the murderer, we feasted on a buffet dinner, complete with an array of salads, veggie sides, prime rib, and desserts. When we were done, they revealed the murderer. The funniest part was reading what people have submitted for drawing. The first one who got it right got a CAD 50 gift card to the O'Keefe Ranch Gift Shop. You can't beat 50 bucks a person for both the show and dinner*! The show and dinner is only scheduled twice a year. Check their website calendar.

Lakeside park and beach on the W shore of Okanagan Lake, a few clicks N of the Bennett Bridge…read more Parking is available in a couple of lots. I imagine the place can get pretty busy during the summer. There is a campground, as well as a picnic area and a small beach. Sand is a bit coarse, but it is great for chilling and looking across the lake.

Just arrived home from 3 fantastic nights at Bear Creek…read more It was a fantastic time. The site was clean and quiet. VERY child friendly.

I can't say enough about the wonderful host at Dee Lake Wilderness Resort. From the moment we…read morearrived he was full of joy snd friendliness. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our stay. We had some car trouble and the folks across the way were great trying to help us but In the end it was the host again who saved the day. What a wonderful Father's Day get away. Camping, fishing, boating. I wish I got his name but I'm sure everyone who goes up there comes away with the same impression of him. Thank you.

I went to a wedding here - it took place along the lake behind the row of cabins and was a nice,…read morelow key wedding. Guests were able to camp, use their RVs, or rent cabins. Many of us rented about 7 cabins all next to each other, and it was like a block party where all your friend live together. The staff here is really nice and they're very personable and chill. But they're a bit lacking on things like trail maps and other guest amenities. Their one canoe was out of commission, and they only had two single kayaks for rent. They didn't know too much about hiking in the area either - turns out there is a trail that kind of loops around. Not a huge deal, but this definitely seems more like a place you come fully prepared (most people had their own boats, water equipment, etc.). There is free Wi-Fi in and around the office. None in the cabins. The cabins all have a beautiful lake view and are great. They have pots and pans, but don't have anything like cooking oil, tin foil, salt & pepper, etc. You need to bring all that on your own. Ours did have one bag of marshmallows (randomly). Our cabin (#39) had a really nice back that ended up being a communal hang out space for a lot of wedding guests. You do also have to bring your own bedding or rent it for $20. We did that and had a bed bug scare (my boyfriend got 3 bites in a line on his back on Saturday night, and the on his neck on Sunday night). No one else experienced anything like this. We got home and systematically boiled everything in our luggage and our apartment wasn't infested.
