Itinerary
Vancouver to Osoyoos
- Depart from Vancouver in the morning and start the road less travelled.
- We suggest leaving town along Highway 7, leading you through small towns, villages and past farmland and beautiful landscapes.
- On your way to Osoyoos, stop at the Othello Tunnels near Hope, go for a hike in Manning Park or pick up some delicious fruit at a fruit stand in Keremeos.
Osoyoos
- Today is at your leisure.
- You can spend the day exploring some of the many wineries , have a relaxing day by the beach or go for a bike tour.
- We have included a wine tasting at Nk’Mip Winery for you.
- If you want to learn more about the Indigenous people that call these lands their home, we recommend a visit to the Nk’Mip Desert and Heritage Centre in Osoyoos.
Osoyoos to Kelowna
- Today you will be heading north to Kelowna, passing through communities like Summerland and Penticton.
- On your way into town, visit a local winery for a tasting before checking in to your hotel.
- The remainder of the day is at your leisure.
- Another option is to drive as far as Vernon and visit places such as Davison Orchard.
Kelowna
- You will be picked up from your hotel (morning or afternoon departures available) for an amazing 4-hour self-guided bike ride along the Kettle Valley Railway, a 24 km tour across 18 trestles and through 2 tunnels. But don’t worry – the trail is relatively flat – we tried it!
- After your bike ride, you will be dropped off at your hotel in Kelowna. What a great day!
Kelowna to Vancouver
