Okanagan Lake
Kelowna & Okanagan Valley, Canada
Okanagan Lake is a large, glacially-formed lake spanning 110 kilometres in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, known for its stunning mountain backdrop and clear blue waters. The lake, which reaches depths of over 230 metres, is lined with vineyards, orchards, and beaches that draw both visitors and locals alike.
Summer is the best time to experience Okanagan Lake, when activities like boating, fishing, and swimming are in full swing. The lakeside boardwalk allows for leisurely strolls with scenic views, while nearby wineries provide opportunities for tastings. Keep an eye out for the occasional sightings of the lake’s legendary creature, Ogopogo.

Triple parasailing adventure in Kelowna
4.7· 28 reviewsFrom ₹9,884Twenty minutes of parasailing from a boat — suitable for ages four and up, no prior experience needed.
“This was our family's first experience, and I made the booking online beforehand. The two staff members on the boat were exceptional—organized and attentive, clearly passionate about their work. However, I believe safety should be prioritized before the activity begins. Our group of nine received no explanation on safety procedures or how to maintain stability while in the air; we were simply instructed to wear our vests and get on the boat. Additionally, the two women at the ticket booth were not welcoming. They only had us sign a form and put on wristbands outside without providing any information about what to expect or answering any questions. Despite driving to Kelowna for this experience, we didn’t feel the customer service was friendly. More guidance would have been appreciated, as they spent much of the time on their phones or conversing with each other. Overall, I'm grateful my son had a great time, but from a parent's perspective, improvements are necessary in customer service and safety explanations in case of emergencies. Fun is important, but safety and good service matter too.”— Y9483MQlizc on the Triple parasailing adventure in Kelowna tour
