    5.0· 71 reviews· 7 hours

    Full-day tour with guaranteed tastings at Mission Hill and Quails Gate wineries, including a lunch stop.

    Our experience with Teehouse Wine Tours was delightful. Arther, our guide, demonstrated impressive knowledge of the region and was keen to ensure we enjoyed every tasting. A standout moment occurred when we encountered traffic on the bridge. Arther seamlessly redirected us and arranged an additional stop instead of leaving us stuck. The atmosphere throughout the day was laid-back, and it was clear Arther prioritized our well-being with safety measures, snacks, and water, along with great connections at each winery. I strongly recommend Teehouse for anyone seeking an exceptional day in wine country. Their 5-star rating is well-deserved.V845YMryano

    A thrilling tandem parasailing ride on Lake Okanagan, suitable for ages 4 to 94, with no swimming or experience required.

  5. Triple parasailing adventure in Kelowna, Kelowna & Okanagan Valley8

    8. Triple parasailing adventure in Kelowna

    4.7· 28 reviews· 10 min

    Twenty 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
