Kelowna Holiday Packages

Holidays To Kelowna

Wine and sea monsters. Really, what more do you need on holiday? Luckily, there happens to be a place in British Columbia that offers both.

We’re talking about Kelowna, of course. Located 390 km east of Vancouver and sitting smack in the middle of wine country, this relaxed town is ready for your visit. Pick up a Kelowna package deal from Wotif and come on down.

Things to Do in Kelowna

We suppose you should do something between glasses of regional wine, so get outside! Okanagan Lake is where you’ll find most of the locals during the warmer months. The water is crisp and clear, making diving a winning activity during warm afternoons. Sailing, kayaking and river rafting also offer easy-peasy ways to spend the afternoon. With the savings from your package to Kelowna, you can even rent one of those kayaks built for two if you’re really feeling it.

While you’re on the water, keep your eyes peeled for Ogopogo, the rumoured local sea monster. She’s been described as a long serpent with two or three humps on her back, and green or grey skin. Bet you weren’t expecting to uncover a mythical beast on your Kelowna holiday!

Shh, want to know a secret? Kelowna is one of the sunniest cities in Canada, with roughly 2000 hours of sunshine each year. You know what this means, right? Excellent golf! There are more than 15 courses dotting the Kelowna landscape, so you can find the perfect holes for your game. Check out Wotif’s great Kelowna car hire options so you can pick and choose with ease.

Like overcast skies instead? In winter, it’s all about that fresh powder on the slopes. The Thompson Okanagan provides ample trails for cross-country skiing as well as snowshoeing.

Shopping, Dining, Nightlife

Independent stores are alive and well in Kelowna. Shop on Bernard Avenue for boutique clothes and souvenirs, as well as Ellis and Tutt Street for more popular brands. To hit it all at once, head to downtown Kelowna, which has a cluster of top picks just a few steps from the lake.

We’ve got a secret for you: The best part of Kelowna is found in a bottle of vino. Kelowna is in wine country, and more than that, it’s also a prime cider destination. Sign up for a tour of the wineries, breweries and yes, cideries during your visit. With all the extra cash in your pocket from your Kelowna package, you can order that second round without feeling guilty. And for nightlife, walk into any of the local pubs for a smooth drink with live music. There are also a few nightclubs spread throughout the city, if you’re looking to get down.
