It was a little basic and I feel as a tourist it was not a memorable experience. My suggestion is to make it different and memorable. Maybe plastic plants, Buddhist statues, affirmation messages, sounds of nature and things like that. Offer meditation. You might even charge more for a better healing experience. I think this place has the potential to be amazing given its location across from the beach.

It's such an old mineral swimming pool I do not like it. My kids didn't have fun. It doesn't have an outdoor swimming pool, but it is an expansive pool.

Nice hot mineral pool shallow to 4 ft deep. With cement sitting places inside the pool under water. Sitting on it puts you up to the neck. Recommended pool time 15 minutes. Out of the pool lots of beach type chairs. It wasn't too crowded midweek. Lots of metered parking outside. One can rent lockers and towell. Need to take a shower before going into the pool and after. The water was hot but not too hot.

Although the pool felt awesome after our long drive -I felt it was very run down. The hand blower did not work in bathroom. The Matt's in change rooms were ripped. One of the two toilets was plugged and the place was dirty, no bathing suit spinner or plug to dry your hair. Radium and Ainsworth were beautiful outdoor springs and charged 2.00 more. We were through here in 9 years ago and remember the beautiful pools outside now it's not open to the public very sad!

2025-Nov-15, the cashier boy seem doesn't like his job or people (impolite). Hope you smile more when you do customer service. Pool is not crowded, clean. A lot of locker and changing room. There is a big window facing the lake.

A bit outdated. But overall staff are okay and the pool water is comfortable and warming-hot. Worth a visit. Make sure to call in before you drive over though to make sure they are open. Parking is free 5 minutes walk away before the visitor Centre, or paid parking within 1 minute walk away. Entry is CA$16 per person general ticket, all tax & fees inclusive.

I took my granson son twice at the posted times it said on the web site , it was Not Open..Several other people , tourists were there outside also disapointed it wasnt open. When I eventualy got in and asked the life guard why it was closed he said there was a shortage of life guards for The Publc Mineral Pool ? third time lucky ? I followed the times posted on the pool doors after the second attempt failed. I have been going to the pool over the years and For a World Class Destination , the Public Mineral Pool has gone down hill big time . The pool tiles need a good clean as do the pool water gutters and a coat of paint and wood stain would be a good idea also .New curtains in the changing rooms to brighten it up. Very disapointing to see a World Class Destination used by people from all over the world that are not staying at the Hotel neglected like this . :(

This place is perfect for kids 5 and under. Adults and everyone else, it's s just a kiddie pool. All the slides were closed minus two very small kid slides. On the plus side it was not busy at all. Hot tub was perfect temp. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We recently visited Bridal Falls Waterpark hoping to support a local business, but the experience was shocking and unacceptable. The tube slide is still closed, yet patrons are charged full admission. The website claimed all body slides were open, which was the main reason we went. When we arrived, my children lined up for the body slides only for me to notice there was no water running. I asked a lifeguard, and he casually said they were still doing repairs and waiting for them to set, which would take at least 30 minutes. That 30 minutes quietly turned into over 2.5 hours without any announcement over the PA system or notification to guests. Opening times for the body slides kept changing constantly. Guests were asking lifeguards every few minutes for updates, but the staff were evasive and unhelpful. Management in the office was rude, dismissive, and unapologetic about the delays. No announcements were made to inform anyone about the situation. The lifeguards were completely unprofessional. They allowed people to linger and sit in front of the body slides, even occupying platforms marked “Lifeguard Only.” The fundamental rule of clearing the pool as soon as people exit the slides was ignored. One child accidentally splashed a lifeguard while exiting the water, and the lifeguard yelled at the child. These lifeguards behave like a mean-girls or mean-boys gang rather than professionals. They should be fired immediately and replaced with mature lifeguards who understand their responsibility to keep guests safe. Why are repairs being done while the park is open? Considering the serious injuries that happened on the tube slide last year, this raises severe concerns about the park’s overall safety practices. Charging full price when most attractions are unavailable is unacceptable. The ongoing repairs during operating hours are a blatant safety hazard, and Technical Safety BC should flag this immediately. The park needs more inspections and stricter oversight. While my children waited at the top of the hill for the body slides, no lifeguard was present to tell them the slides were closed. I had to personally tell a lifeguard to go up and notify the kids. This is a dangerous oversight. What if a child had gone down a slide under repair? Unsupervised slides are an accident waiting to happen. Many families, including ours, drive out here every year with the intention of supporting a local business. After the horrific accident last year in which people were seriously injured, we were hesitant but gave the park the benefit of the doubt. That trust has been completely undermined by this visit. The combination of ongoing repairs during park hours, unprofessional and inattentive staff, misleading advertising, and rude management makes this park unsafe and unreliable. Management needs to take immediate action. Lifeguards must understand that their job is to protect guests, not socialize or act like they are above the rules. Until serious safety and staffing issues are addressed, I cannot recommend this park to anyone. Cultus Lake offers a far superior experience and much better value for the price. (*See photos)

We absolutely loved this place! The staff were so warm and friendly, and they made sure my kids were having the best time. Even though the tube slide was closed, there were still plenty of activities to keep us all entertained throughout the day. I have to mention one blonde staff member in particular who was amazing with the kids on the slides she really went out of her way to make the experience extra special for the little ones. I truly appreciated how much effort they put into making the day enjoyable for everyone!

This is a pretty fun water park. It is good for most people. Even for little kids, they can still enjoy the enfant safe part. The slides are fast when you lay down and slow when you sit up. There a little wait to go on the bigger slide. Even the people that only come in the park and not play need to pay the full price too. But overall a good experience.

Went for the first time great for families with smaller kids. There were no stairs and the park is relatively small keeping it easy to keep track of little ones. The slides do enough of thrill for the kids to enjoy but not as big and spread out as cultas. The food was ok but the time to prep the food was too long especially for a bit so busy day. We went when the tube slide was not open so that was a bit of a disappointment however the website was clear in stating and sharing the information so I appreciated the communication. Overall was a good day and a place I would like to come again.

Honestly, for what it is, it's perfect. Smaller slides but you can sit in the hot tub and see your kids the whole time. Nostalgic candy shop, good tunes playing, much more chill than Cultus Lake. We had a lovely afternoon there. Buying tickets online is a bit cheaper (but you have to buy before 10am for same day tickets). We did the half day (late afternoon) and it was great.

The rapid river is the prime draw for my family. The other four main slides are okay, but the time in lineups compared to actual slide time is not terribly good. Long lines on the river, however, go quickly and the time on the river is a quasi-dangerous hoot! There's also a good amount of space to set up day camp and the scenery around the park is second to none.

Great hike, the path is straightforward, there are some side paths as well but they all go up eventually. Plenty of blueberries on the way up. Easy to intermediate about 2hr hike one way from the parking lot. 4x4 its a must.

Absolutely stunning hike. I’ve done it in the summer and in autumn now, and autumn wins in terms of views. The colours are unbelievably beautiful, and the view at the end are 360° of the Fraser Valley and the mountain ranges around. Whole hike is exposed and there are no water sources. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and hats. There is also no garbage here so please be mindful and leave no trace. Unfortunately, with the popularity of this hike growing, there is an increase of litter on the trails. Also please don’t even bother trying to come if you don’t have a 4x4 - we saw an Evo attempting the first bit of the drive and you are certainly not going to make it. You need a high clearance vehicle as the road gets significantly worse in the second half. I think it’s been getting worse with all the traffic on it this summer.

A high clearance 4x4 vehicle is recommended for the service road, eventhou I was passed by a mercedes glc350 while almost losing my rear bumper 🤣 view was spectacular the wholeway but it's non stop uphilll and quite steep in sections with minimal shade.

Beautiful hike. Get there as early as possible as the summit isn’t meant for a lot of people. I got to the trail head at around 8am and there was about 5 other vehicles at the top. The road in as others mention is pretty rugged. The hike itself didn’t take too long maybe 3-4 hours there and back. On my way back after noon the trail was packed. All definitely worth checking out

You will need a 4x4 to get to the trail head parking lot. That was the most challenging part of the experience for us. The hike is full of rewards and the view from the peak is breathtaking.

Gorgeous view and fun hike! Lots of friendly squirrels at the top where the bench is located. The hike itself is not too hard nor too long. It’s just that reaching to the trail head is very treacherous. I drove 4x4 suv and still managed to get a flat tire and a ripped bumper on the way out. Saw three other cars getting flats as well.

The forest road that leads to the hiking trail took us about 45 minutes to drive. The drive is off road and bit challenging if its your first time off-roading, but the view is breathtaking! Pretty hard hike. Its easy at first and then mostly uphill. The climb is worth it! I recommend this hike if you have a 4x4 vehicle.

It is overall a great campsite, our site was spacious enough (some sites are too crowded/near each other) and well maintened. Not sure year round but there were a bit of bees. The water is clear and with some fish. The forest logging roads on the way is a beginners level and not much rocks but plenty of potholes. Easy camp within 2hrs from the lower mainland. Please be diligent in researching and booking campsites via the BC parks website.

INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL hike. I do recommend being prepared. If you go early, there will be a lot of spider webs on the path. You need a stick. We didn't see a another human the entire hike. Very nice walk, easy difficulty. We saw the bear poop and knew he was around. We only had one can of Bubbly with us. We were city slickers not prepared at all. The threat of the bear is real.

Definitely enjoyed the campground, very clean. The park Rangers, we're constantly driving around, making sure that all the garbage cans recycling cans were all clean and emptied. Outhouses were clean. It's nice. Sandy beach area with lots of picnic tables. Make sure you bring extra tarps. In case it gets windy, so you can make a wind shelter. To block the wind

Beautiful place to relax , if you coming for camping there is a lots of good spots to choose from. Swimming, walking, or relaxing with the book you choose what you like 💖🌞🏕

Hicks Lake is a hidden gem! The water is clean, calm, and surprisingly warm - perfect for swimming. It’s a great spot for kayaking, with a few small islands you can paddle to and relax on their quiet, scenic beaches. Peaceful and beautiful, it’s a perfect escape into nature.

Beautiful lake, very well kept! The drive up isn’t super rough either which was nice!

This lake is absolutely gorgeous. Warm water great for swimming. Lots of beaches and rock areas so there’s room for everyone. There are dog aloud areas and no dog allowed areas. Multiple bathrooms pick Nick tables and swimming areas. Great trails to walk and explore. Lots of free parking and wheelchair accessible. There is camping available as well. Great Lake to take the family to. Sun and shade areas. Lots of geese to enjoy but with that comes a lot of geese poop. The geese poop is the only downfall to this lake

Yale Historic site near hope, 25 $ for 5 member family or per head 10 $, they display year of 1858 medical clinic, saloon, grocery store, also small musium, and beautiful church open for public, highly recommended for visit this place with family

This is a wonderful place to visit if you’re interested in history and want to get a sense of what life was like during the Gold Rush era. The Yale Historic Site is well preserved, with informative displays, artifacts, and friendly staff who are happy to answer questions. Walking around the buildings gives you a feeling of stepping back in time, and the museum itself is small but filled with interesting stories. The site is not huge, so you can easily explore it in an hour or so, which makes it a nice stop along the way if you’re traveling through the Fraser Canyon. I especially enjoyed the church and the original homes, as they give you a very authentic vibe.

Great for a quick stop and learn on your way. Free but donations are welcome, since they are a non-profit organization.

I had a wonderful experience at the Yale Historic Center. It’s a place full of history, beautifully maintained, and with a welcoming atmosphere that truly invites you to learn and connect with the past. A special thanks and congratulations to Anderson for his outstanding work and dedication. His commitment is evident in every detail—from the thoughtful organization to the warm way he welcomes visitors. I'm especially grateful for the events hosted at the center. They're always well-planned, engaging, and enriching for the whole community. Thank you for keeping history alive in such an inspiring way!

Visiting the Yale Historic Center was a truly enriching experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The center offers a fascinating glimpse into local history, with well-curated exhibits, carefully preserved spaces, and an atmosphere that invites exploration and learning. We’d like to give a special shout-out to Anderson, the manager, whose work truly elevated our visit. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail reflect a genuine passion for both history and hospitality. He took the time to answer our questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every guest felt welcome and valued. Thank you, Anderson, for your dedication and outstanding service. We will absolutely return—and highly recommend the Yale Historic Center to anyone looking to connect with history through an engaging and well-run experience!

The site is beautifully preserved, with highlights, built in 1863 and still standing proudly in its original location — a true testament to the town's enduring legacy. A heartfelt congratulations to Anderson for the incredible work and unwavering commitment to preserving and bringing history to life. Your passion and dedication shine through every detail of the site. Thank you, Anderson, for everything you’ve done to keep this remarkable piece of Canadian heritage alive. Your work is deeply appreciated and truly inspiring!

Not worth the money unfortunately. We arrived in the entrance, and it was 25$ for a family. We had hoped it would be by donation & we could just do a short walk around. There didn’t seem to be much to do, the staff didn’t give us any info or encourage us to come in, and there weren’t any other people there. We have been to many other small local museums similar, and they were always free or a small donation. We saw the church from the street, and that was enough. There are bathrooms and a small parking lot if you need a rest stop.

Absolutely stunning🌟!! Beautiful mix of nature and history. It’s short walk from the parking lot (5mins). We visited over the weekend and it was pretty busy, parking gets full pretty fast but there’s plenty of parking alongside the road you can use, if you don’t mind walking a few extra meters!! Tunnels are extraordinary. Walk alongside the canyon, with rushing water - its just beautiful😍 Definitely check them out while they are still Open!!

Beautiful place. Wonderful nature with peaceful sound of the clear water. We could enter three tunnels, or actually 2,5; Halfway the last tunnel was a wall built, with a note with the message repairs are needed on the tunnels so we couldn't go further. Despite it was very worth the (15-20 minute?) stop. It was a very little walk of approximately 5 minutes. (Would have been possible/ accessible with wheelchair I guess.)

Absolutely gorgeous, it was amazing how the tunnels turn around to fabulous views. It's a nice walk towards the entrance and get dark, better to have some form touch or mobile flash would do. The bridges are quite the catch with the view. There are more tunnels and could walk down the way. Definitely a place to visit!

Made a pit stop here on route from Vancouver to Sun Peaks and I’m so glad that we did. The tunnels are incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. The views are amazing. I highly recommend visiting this place from some unique sights and amazing pictures.

The nature here is absolutely beautiful, and it’s a very interesting historical place. This is a great destination for anyone who loves the rich history of our province. I just have a couple of small suggestions: 1. On weekends, it’s really difficult to find parking — there clearly aren’t enough spots, and there are a lot of tourists. 2. There isn’t much historical information available on-site, so I often had to use Google Search to learn more about the place. Other than that, it’s definitely worth visiting!

Finally revisited the Othello tunnels since their full re-opening, the restoration crews did a great job. It may only be a short portion of the historic kettle valley railway, but it's beautiful, the tunnels are a little spooky, and everything feels very safe. Don't forget your flashlight, or the flashlight on your phone.

Visiting this place is like a small lottery — sometimes you get to see it, sometimes you don’t. Very unexpectedly. Our group tried twice. The second time we even called ahead, and they confirmed the Tunnels were open. We drove more than 150 km — only to find them closed. Why? For how long? Nobody could answer. I hope you’ll be luckier. From the parking lot, it’s just a 12-minute walk along a wide, flat road, comfortable even for seniors and children. On the bright side, the road to this location is very picturesque, which helps soften the disappointment. And by the way, you can also visit the famous Bridal Falls, just 42 km away.

Very impressive tunnels, and also a wonderful story behind them. Well worth the almost 2 hour drive from Vancouver. Went there on Civic Holiday (Aug. 1) 2016 with my family, everyone enjoyed the trip. We arrived around 7:30-8:00 PM, so there were few people and the area was quite tranquil. I suggest going quite early or quite late in the day to avoid the large crowds. The picture was taken from the inside of a tunnel, I forgot which one. Edit: The tunnels have reopened after the floods in 2021 on August 19 2024, I went again on August 25 2024 and the tunnels are open to halfway into the second tunnel. You can see workers working on the rest of the tunnels beyond the fence.

Loved the walk-through tunnels and the surrounding area. A beautiful day made the views that much more spectacular. Some areas in the tunnel get dark, others have water dripping down and loose gravel so you shouldn't try to cycle thru. Take time to learn about the amazing history of this place. Definitely coming back with the family as it is a pretty flat walk not too long at all. Would highly recommend it for all ages, you need to see it at least once.

Beautiful scenery as well as an important part of Western history. U just feel different kind of relaxation walking through one of the best nature and man made wonders. So much greenery and the freshness of the air. The sound of the river bouncing off the canyon just makes the best no instrument music ever. I can literally spend all day there jus exploring woods and water and just listen to the water and nature's sounds. Simply just love it!!!

The Othello tunnels are worth a stop if you are coming back or heading to the interior. Great history lesson and amazing scenery. It's a short flat walk and you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful site. Always love going here. It was busy but was fairly spaced out between groups. Parking was a challenge, but still ok. It would be nice if there was a sign for the pathways after the tunnels. Would help to decide the length you want to go and if something is there you want to see.

Great park showcasing the railroad history in British Columbia. Really cool tunnels to walk through. Bring a flashlight to ensure you can see where your walking as the ground is a little uneven in the tunnels. Very cool views of the river and canyon. Very short walk from the parking lot. Definitely worth a visit. Can get very busy on a hot summer day though.

Was so beautiful and easy to get to the tunnels , something about mother nature that always relaxes me , the only things is there is alot of construction on the roads right now and really bumpy so take it slow .

Was there for wellness retreat. Beautiful setting... very scenic. Loved sleeping by the roaring river. Friendly and very helpful staff. Retreat leaders Naomi and Ally were knowledgeable and competent. Food was delicious! Only suggestion: Would have appreciated more accommodation for those of us who still love gluten, eggs, and dairy 🙏 Thank you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary just a couple of hours from home at the most charming little gem tucked in the mountains—REO Resort. Our package included everything, but due to feeling unwell, we kept things simple and soaked in the beauty of the resort and the nearby lakes. And truly, that was more than enough. We were blown away by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. The resort was immaculately clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. Even though the main bathrooms were out of order during our stay (and making the trek every hour while 34 weeks pregnant felt like a hike in itself!), we still had a wonderful experience. The food deserves its own review—every meal was intentional, fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious. Five-star dining that we’re still dreaming about! It was exactly what we needed. Quiet, restorative, and deeply special. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience here at REO! The amazing: the staff are so friendly and helpful. Bryan and Karen really care about this property and business and it shows in the way they treat each of us like a valued guest. The tents were beautiful and clean, right by the river. The food is homemade, and delicious. It is served by the staff along with some help-yourselves on the side. The good to know, in case you are planning to go: the river noise level is a bit high even for a sound sleeper like me, I would actually recommend wearing light earplugs to block out the loud white noise! The last 8km are all varying levels of gravel, so drive a car that can handle the bumps and pebbles. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering!

I met up with 4 long-time friends for a 5 days getaway and we had never been to REO before. It far exceeded my expectations! The yurts were large, comfortable and had excellent deck furniture for hanging out by the river. The food was delicious, fresh, and varied in flavours (and plentiful!). The staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner Bryan checked in with us every day, and accepted our teasing with ease. They have done an incredible job rebuilding after the devastating forest fire 2 years ago - from the yurts and yoga buildings, to the hammocks and hot tub, dining area and indoor and outdoor showers, it's a treat to visit. We did rafting and yoga, but added on archery when we got there - it was a surprise how much they had to offer! This is a family-run business with a long and dedicated history to this area and it's connection to nature.

Our family had the most enjoyable visit to REO last week. The resort provided exceptional service, including great food, comfortable tents/beds with exceptional river views at each site, and very helpful staff. The river rafting was a great experience, with professional guides who made the trip down river a great one. The Yoga classes were lead by a great instructor with the most beautiful views available. The private beach and hot tub offered a great place to relax and recharge. There was so much to do, we required more time to do it all! Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a girls weekend here and it was lovely. The tent was beside the river with a beautiful deck. The beds were comfortable and it was close to the bathrooms. All of the services were great and the food was fantastic. Massages were great, Yoga was excellent and kayaking was fun. I will definitely be coming again to enjoy more activities.

Fantastic rafting on the Nahatlatch river! The staff were all great. Very fun and lots of good humour. They served us an excellent lunch of burgers and the best potato salad I've ever had, and the hot tub was a treat after rafting. Thanks for a great day!

Been here before and decided to bring our road trip to pass by here. Although online suggested buying tickets online, this place was not busy at all with zero line ups and ample parking. The airtram experience was great offering great views to and from its lower facility. This place features multiple exhibits, gift shop, gold panning station, cafe (reviewed separately), bridge, and fudge store that offers a decent experience to the average tourist. Compared to my previous experience, this place feels a little dead. Perhaps it's not the summer season yet, but I feel like the shops they had originally have turned to exhibits for the sake of cutting manpower costs. The gold panning station was kind of lacklustre without anyone teaching about the mechanics like before. Overall it's a solid 3 and very hard for me to place a 4 like before.

Spectacular views and a unique experience, but a few things to know before you go. Hell’s Gate is definitely worth a visit if you’re driving through the Fraser Canyon. The gondola ride across the canyon is short but breathtaking, and the views of the rushing Fraser River are stunning. The suspension bridge and historical displays add a nice touch, and the whole place feels like a piece of BC history. However, parking is very limited, so try to arrive early. The on-site restaurant has a very limited menu — mostly sandwiches (around $14), two soups, fries, and burgers. The food is overpriced and not very impressive. Also, the gift shop, while fun to browse, is quite expensive. Still, the scenery makes up for the downsides. If you manage your expectations for food and shopping, the overall experience is memorable and well worth it. Also there's only one bathroom at the bottom of the Canon

Been running since 1968 and well worth stopping and doing the tram. A good history lesson on it being part of the gold rush. Great gift shop and restaurant, staff are very friendly.

A great place to stop and stretch your legs on a long road trip and well worth the time spent. A great look into the history of the salmon runs on the river. There’s a great little ‘spooky’ self-guided tour and the suspension bridge was definitely a bit hair raising. Also, they have a penny crusher machine so make sure you have some loonies!

Skip it! Don’t waste your money here. They had the most unfriendly staff, if you can even find one. The place is like a ghost town. If I knew how rundown this place had gotten, I wouldn’t even pay $5 a person to get in let alone the hefty price of $37. Thank goodness my son under 5 still otherwise it’s $32 a kid! There are zero activities there, the “gold panning” is a disgrace - the water is a biohazard and there was barely any gravel let alone any “gold”. I feel offended for all the tourist that come here and think this place represents Canada in any way shape or form. Also, 1 single gum ball at the candy store was $23.09…. Excuse me whatttt?!?

I've been to hell's gate a number of times and it has a nice view of the Frazer river but there isn't really much to do once you've taken the airtram to the bottom. The gift store is lacking and doesn't have much things to offer but the fudge on the other had is really good. The tickets for hells gate are kind of expensive but understanding this place is more of a tourist attraction. 7/10

Super disappointing and limited experience. This is my Honest review with no filter or sugar coating. I would have given it one star but fell sorry because nature and surrounding elements are spectacular indeed. Where do we start with negatives?! First off the price set at $35 is not only steep but completely unjustified. I read a review before I went there that it’s very rundown and nothing really to do there. I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Once you get up across the river after a very. Beautiful but short tram ride you have a suspension bridge, a counter that was once a restaurant, a sad, overpriced and limited store, a small gallery history museum and a Fudge and candy store that sells terrible fudge by the way. The restaurant looks so run down that we didn’t order anything. They had 5-6 food choices on the menu and it’s an actual counter self serve cashier. The store sells some items and cheap souvenirs some you’d find in Vancouver aquarium and bc ferries but much more pricey. The sweet shop / ice cream fudge was a total joke. I got a sea salt and caramel. If you’ve never had a fudge in your life there is a small chance you might like it. It was salty like they dumped the salt and rolled it into a mushy paste with some hint of sweet caramel. I almost died in the first bite. The whole place seems unkept and rundown. It really is a shame because it is such a heritage site and deserves to shine. I imagine if a better owner take care of this place it could receive some boost and major upgrades.

Great rest area. A lot of room can even stay overnight with self contained RV. There are toilets as well as EV charging station and a plaque that explains the history. Unfortunately, people do not put their garbage in the garbage bins so there are some areas that it is a bit of a mess

Last stop on my trip through the Kootenays! Didn't know there was an EV station here. But there are pit toilets! The info on the hope slide is very sobering. The power of nature unleashing itself is just incredible sometimes. There was a lake here????

Unexpected discovery during our roadtrip to Osoyoos this year. We stopped to get some leg rest and found this interesting historical spot. Stop by and visit this place, read about historical events happened here in 1960s. There is parking with EV charging stations, washrooms, and picknick tables with a killer view.

Not much to say here, its a big memorial of a tragic slide and also a marker for a Canadian Air Force plane crash. Thank you to all who serve.

Fascinating piece of Canadian history I knew nothing about until I went for a motorcycle ride and stopped at this place. When you actually see the volume of rock that moved with your own eyes, it is quite humbling. A single rock slide reshaped an entire valley, took out a lake and killed 4 people. Don't fight mother nature is a valid saying; she will win every battle.

Witness breathtaking mountain scenery and explore the site of one of Canada’s largest landslides. Learn about the 1965 disaster through on-site displays and enjoy a powerful reminder of nature’s strength.

Breathtakingly beautiful The stillness is eerie The wildlife is there if you look carefully We saw Yellow Belly Marmots Very cool There is electric charger stations here & washrooms And a Picnic bench There is a info plaque of what happened on this historic site on January 9, 1965 in the Nicolum Valley in the Cascade Mountains It's a 10 min drive east of Hope, BC on highway 3 Updated April 22 2022

Beautiful campground. Had it all to myself. Small bridge out at beginning of trail but easily for fable without getting feet wet Two spots, toilet and bear bins. Minus one star because it was crazy buggy last weekend of July.

Beautiful short trail to the lake, maybe around 900m. Very quiet backcountry camping site. Some bugs in the summer. Water of the lake is very clear.

A beautiful and quiet place to spend some quality time, there is a bit of hiking from parking lot, maybe 1 kilometre but It’s worth it🏞️

Great little 900m hike to this beauty of a lake nestled in the mountains 🤍

Gorgeous lake to visit....hiking is worth it! I see a lot of people going here for day camping and even barbecue. Love the place! 💕

Beautiful lake with camping spots and not busy!

Great, quick hike. Beautiful lake, lots of little rainbow trout.

A wonderful little museum with lots of beautiful artifacts! The exhibits are well-curated and offer a great glimpse into the Nicola Valley’s history. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the welcoming receptionist makes the visit even more pleasant.

On a visit before I went north.

More than just a display of the past, the museum actively engages the public through rotating exhibits, school programs, and special events. Whether you're visiting Merritt for the first time or reconnecting with your roots, the Nicola Valley Museum & Archives is a welcoming place to learn, reflect, and appreciate the diverse stories that shaped this unique region.

I wandered in on a whim - (I was in town for a wedding and was killing a couple of hours) - and quite happily spent well over an hour here. The museum gallery is very well laid out by Era and subject, and includes a wide range of artifacts and stories of Merritt and the Nicola River Valley. I'm a Historian and retired museum curator, and although this museum only briefly touches my field I will plan another trip up from the Coast (by appointment if necessary) so that I may ask to see their reserve collection and archives.

Really good lots to see the pics are a socket set big

Nice simple local museum. Staff were friendly, typical exhibits for small town.

Small but well curated collection of items and provides an accessible view of local history.

Merritt downtown is a tourist destination. There is a very easy to find Visitor information. They provide a walking map to find Country & Western's Walk of Fame. The stars are framed upright, with handprint & signature (unlike Hollywood where you find them in a sidewalk). Some nice little shops and a bandshell that may have live music on weekends. Quaint little town but don't need more than a day or two stopover. It was 35-38C in July. Stay hydrated.

Super friendly staff! Cute nostalgic place with some souvenirs, local products, and donated knickknacks for sale. They also serve ice cream and have space for picnics out back.

Free charging here for your Tesla if the Tesla Chargers are out of order like today. You just need the standard adapter that came with your car.

we dropped in for information and were offered free coffee, lemonade and delicious home made baking (while it lasts). Lovely and knowledgeable staff, nice gifts made locally. A chance to meet some of the locals and start your trip to the interior with a friendly small town welcome.

Absolutely wonderful people, easily the most welcoming, friendly, and helpful info centre I have been to - which is saying something, as I've only ever had positive experiences with info centres! The ladies here really go above and beyond; they even, very kindly, mailed me something overnight when I forgot it behind after using the centre's bathroom, to ensure I would get it before I moved on to my next destination!

Amazing tourist info place with free lemonade and interesting things to see and buy. Stopped here to use the wash room (single stall) with the family and there was plenty to keep the interest while waiting my turn. :)

Extremely helpful. Benches in the back surrounded by a flower garden. Multiple picnic tables. Free wifi. Nice little spot.

Review Date: July 22nd, 2015 Interested in Canadian history, eh? On the strange and long journey through Canada, I didn’t expect us to end up at a Museum dedicated to Princeton and the surrounding area. We headed to Princeton for a few days before making that long trek home. While there, my cousin’s wife took us around to show us the little town. We ended up at this museum and learned a bit more about Canada. This museum, despite the small-looking size outside, offered a ton of information and historical artifacts on the inside. I was astounded by the amount of cool antique objects and small replicas that the small museum held. It was really cool to look over and learn about not just the history of another country but the story behind the local area. Compared to some other museums that I have been to, this one felt homely and welcoming. The few staff members made us feel really welcomed and answered any questions we had. Not sure what else to say about this place. It was a nice little history stop in our long journey. If you find yourself in Princeton with an afternoon free and you got a hankering for learning, this place won’t disappoint.

Very lovely collections of minerals and fossils. Did find it to be lacking in information compared to other small town museums I've visited but definitely still worth visiting if your in the area

If you are interested in Canada history, This is an amazing place! I wondered here around 4 hours, enjoyed all treasures on display. I learned many facts about the the town story, pioneers, mining, and the crazy gold rush. I will bring my friends here to enjoy the history of Princeton and District's unique heritage and culture.

Talk about a hidden gem! We were just looking for shade to park in and happened upon this little museum in the core of a quaint little town of Prinction and I was so glad I went and took a look! They have a huge collection of rock from multiple different people on lone to them. They have a ton of stuff from the history of the local area and a bunch of stuff from the old HBC fur trade company. Lots of knowledge tucked away here. I highly recommend check this place out with your family or friends. Don’t forget to walk around outside too the have so old fire trucks and mining equipment too!

Thank you! The gentleman here was very knowledgeable and friendly. Entry by donation. Very compact with so much fun stuff! Free postcards as well. Stop by if you can!

Came through to see it but arrived too late in the day. We will be back though! Edit: One of the staff spotted us digging fossils on a hill and invited us in to see the collection. What a treat! The Pollard collection is a must see for anyone with any interest in geology or paleontology. Staff assisted us in our fossil hunting trip and directed us to several great locations. Managed to find us some decent flora fossils and one fantastic insect wing specimen!

Cool museum with pertinent facts and a lovely Player piano! Its free, they just ask for a donation.

This is the only golf course in Logan Lake. I thought the course was in great shape for a small town course. There are 9 holes that make up a proper full and challenging round. The greens are a little bumpy and slower than a big course. The course is hilly, so consider a power cart. The green fees and cart prices are a bargain. The kitchen has been improved since COVID. We had coffee and a full breakfast for about $12. It was good. 2 eggs, sausage, toast with grilled potatoes. The staff are friendly and the course isn't crowded. It was good fun.

The staff at the clubhouse is excellent. I stopped by to have breakfast. The food is excellent as well.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's 40th with a mini fun tournament at Meadow Creek. Janet is fabulous to work with, so helpful and provided so much guidance in the set up and structure to make for such a great day. The entire group ended up coming back to do the back nine since they enjoyed the course so much. Challenging enough for the experienced but welcoming enough to make the beginner feel comfortable.

Had to start late due to signing in and then my party was hassled by the club head for grouping up more than 4 people claiming that it makes us slower while other groups had more people than 4 but were left alone. The guy hassled us on more than three occasions within the first hour even bragging about how he called the cops on a group last week and by the time everyone’s mood was ruined and members of my group were arguing with staff they had called the police on us. Even the responding office was surprised that he got called for such a childish reason. Side note is that one of our members complained to him that her daughter is special needs and has never golfed to which he claimed she should be wearing a sign saying that she is special needs

A challenging 9 hole game to start the season. The course is hilly at the beginning with water at the end. Watch out for Meadow Creek .

NICE COURSE, DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Course is very nice, but some members of the staff are so unbelievably rude. As I see on another review it seems like the same women. Within our party we had 3 T times, our second time we were loading our clubs into the carts 2 minutes past our T time while the T off area was not clear yet, and this woman comes out yelling and acting very rude and condescending. They booked their T times too close together and tried to make us feel like it was our fault. The staff makes visitors and amateur golfers feel very unwelcomed. It takes 10 minutes to pay and check in and then they get angry because you're falling behind, then they do not give you maps or score cards, you have to find them yourself, but she had no issue yelling and screaming about how we should know where to go because theres a map and we should have had one. I've golfed here many times and was excited to bring our family and while the course is beautiful and very enjoyable, the staff put a very big damper on the start of our game. I will say though, I believe it was the new training women, helped us as we were finishing and she was quite friendly, which was refreshing because we were bracing for the worst.

Good little full length 9 hole course. Very nice layout and very good prices but desperately needs a website/online booking

A very well maintained campground. We went here for a night with kids. The campsite is very clean and spacious. The washrooms at the campground are equipped with flush toilets and are hygienic. Night sky view is amazing as the trees in campsite are spaced. The lake has a very nice beach and a great day out picnic spot with groundhogs roaming around in the park. All in all a great peaceful place to be at.

Walking in this beautiful park during off-season is so peaceful and calming. The park attendants have done an amazing job of keeping the place clean and natural. I also love the fact that I am a senior , and they have some outhouses open in each loop.

The campground was so beautiful! The park rangers were super sweet and helpful which made our stay more enjoyable. There was a large group that was VERY loud during quiet hours and playing music late into the night. They were so loud that four different parties had complained about them. They also left food out which is a big no no when camping with the risk of bears. I applaud the park rangers for how well they handled the situation judiciously by removing the group from the campground.

Looking for an amazing Provincial Park camping spot? You have to go visit Monck! We arrived mid-day and the check-in staff was so friendly and kind. We went and set-up our site and we luckily got one with a view to the lake that had a little path down to a beach. Everything was clean and well-kept! The site was on the larger side which was great! The facilities were well maintained and clean. The park staff came by to ensure we were all set-up okay and came around later asking if we needed more firewood. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short as I came down with food poisoning but we want to come back for a full stay soon!

Super nice campground. All the toilets (including the outhouses) are flush toilets and kept very clean (just be aware there aren't showers). The site hosts are all lovely. Unfortunately our trip was very bad timing because it was in the middle of a heat wave (38°!), their water system was having issues so it wasn't clean water (okay for washing dishes but not okay for ingesting) and the lake had toxic algae blooms so swimming wasn't recommended. All of these things are obviously out of their control and not permanent problems. The only reason I took one star is because I wish the spots were more shaded.

One of our favorite places to camp (if not our top fave). Hosts are awesome and friendly, everything is always clean and well cared for, sites have space and trees between, noise curfew is well enforced to make it a great experience for families and those who enjoy a quieter setting. The algae bloom was cleared when we got there which was amazing!

The lake has algae in it that makes it unsafe to swim and fish when it is blooming. If you are planning on booking a site here and want somewhere to fish and swim, I would suggest booking elsewhere. We went while it was about 35°C weather and had to go to other lakes each day which took away from the camping experience. Other notes: - The tap water also unfortunately had manganese in it making it unsafe for consumption. - The campsites do not have many trees so the sites get a lot of sun. I would suggest bringing a tarp or multiple tarps and a lot of rope just to help make some shaded spaces on your site. - The park staff/rangers were very helpful and nice. - The lawn/beach/picnic area is beautiful and would be perfect for lawn games.

A lovely camping spot with a spacious beach with big sandy spots. Camping spots are super spacious and would fit big tents. No shower and the toilet doesn’t have running water though. There was a water well for washing dishes (not sure if it was potable). There are more beaches in the area if you’d like more privacy. 10-15 mins away there is a small town with basic groceries and gas station. The nights reveal plenty of stars, it’s amazing! The highway is a little close so at night it might be disturbing if you’re a light sleeper.

This was an incredibly well kept campsite. The bathrooms were very clean and the park rangers were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our sites were clean and almost all had a little path down to the river for private access, the day use area was easily accessible as well. Personally I did not find the highway noise disruptive at all, we will definitely be back here to camp again!

Nice little campground. Water is normally clear as in my video. Unfortunately, overnight it turned muddy brown apparently from a slide. Nice swimming holes. No showers or flush toilets.

Was a great place to swim and sun. Has a very nice sandy beach like area with both sun and shade. While the river was very low at the time I was there people were still cliff jumping in a couple of deep areas.

Offering both day use and camping, this is more than a place to take a rest or stop for the night, majestically tall pine trees greet you at the end of the parking lot. More than a dozen well-kept picnic tables are about 20 feet from the your parking spot. Walking down to the river is a sandy beach where you can get a sun tan, listen to the water running over the rocks. If you swim across the river you can climb Bromley Rock and jump into the water, about a 15 foot drop. Even if you don't like swimming or jumping it is fun to watch other people do it!

A very nice small park, beach is nice, sand is soft, there is aslo trees along the beach you can find shade. The most amazing here is there is very big rocks on top of the river, there is always people there diving. The wash room there is also very clean.

Great little area to hang out on the small sandy beach to catch a tan or dive off Bromley rock into the glacial lake to cool down and have some fun. Quite a pretty hidden place off the hwy with campground close by. Had lots of fun!😃😃😃

Beautiful lake close to Kamloops, easy lake access and boat dock for boats an kayaks. Big lake , downfall always someone driving to fast making huge waves close to SUP s and kayakers :( . One my fav places to spend the day .

Stayed at the provincial park campground. Very clean and relatively quiet. Roads in campground paved and each site is gravel. Has a wonderful playground for kids. Nice big campsites and lots of little trails. Lake is very nice and calm. Really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent place to camp out.

Absolutely gorgeous lake and fantastic campground. One of our favs! Beautiful day use area and beach. Pit toilets. Clean drinking water. Great playground.

Beautiful. Nice level RV space. Toilets not very clean , but ...very very pretty and a kind young men at the gate.

Public place to have a good time with friends or family. The facilities are good except the washroom which wasn’t up to standard. It’s also free to use. The map may tell you it’s closed but you should find out yourself

Lac Le Jeune is a peaceful and pretty lake, located within a Provincial Park of the same name in British Columbia. Beautiful at Sunrise and Sunset, otherwise it is quite average. I am uploading two photos taken at Dawn.

Great hill, great terrain, and super fast lift lines. The triple chair especially. I have never had more than one person in front of me. Great variety of terrain, with some expert runs plenty of gladed skiing and it is a steep mountain. Ski patrol awesome, my daughter ended up with a spinal compression fracture they took great care of her we have been back many times since.

Hill was more than I was expecting. There were lots of nice steep pitches to keep you entertained. Snows was great, groomers were fast. With lifts in the mid 100s, I'll be hitting Apex up again.

For a skiing area with only 2 chairlifts, the amount of terrain accesed is absolutely huge! It feels more like a larger locals hill, not an international destination resort. The vibe is relaxed, the ticket pricing simple and clear, good steep runs at the top, friendly liftees, old school hand scanned tickets, beatiful views (you can see both Big White and mt Baldy from the top) . Would recommend to ski here for a couple days to try out all the runs.

Nice hill to go to if you are local. Not an easy hill! If you are new to snowsports, this might not be a hill to start on. Mostly groomed runs with lots of powder options.

Awesome rooms, awesome trails. Had a lot of fun definitely would do it again

We stayed for three nights in December of 2023. We could tell it had lots of potential, unfortunately the weather wasn't great for ski conditions at that point in the season. That said, the rooms in ski in ski out were amazing, the tubing was our favorite and the groomers were phenomenal. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious in the base area restaraunts. I hope to return for another trip with better snow and the skate loop open. *Returned December 2024 and had fun skiing the steeper terrain!

We went up at 3:30 wanting to skate in the loop that was open until 10pm. My boyfriend needed to rent skates and they told us that we could but we needed to return them by 4:00pm or 9am tomorrow. Because the skate loop is open until 10 we assumed there would be a drop box or someplace we could drop the skates off when we were finished with them as we were told on the phone. We travelled 2 hours from lake country to get there and with the lack of misinformation on the website and the cluelessness of the rental shop it was completely disappointing. For an activity that is open until 10pm there should be some sort of service open until then as well. We left extremely dissatisfied and disappointed.

Such an amazing experience! We had a little zipper with us and Fish & Eggs did an amazing job with him! Looking forward to the next time when we can do more lines!

Booked the morning of for 2 of us to do the full 6 line tour. Loads of fun, and the only thing you need is bravery to make the first step off the platform. Things that help are a strap to keep glasses on your face, keeping hair tied back under your helmet so you get a clear view, clothing with zippered pockets to avoid dropping items, and the ability to do a short hike back up to the top when done. Absolutely worth the price, and a terrific adventure to add to your to-do list!

Would recommend this place to anyone. Staff was amazing and was great to see the sights. Lots of beautiful views

Awesome experience! Views were fantastic. Kudos to guides Twig and Vulture! They were great - explained everything in detail, had awesome personalities, even went extra with my son that got cold feet last minute. Highly recommend. Just a heads up that the road is no longer paved about 1km coming up to the location.

Loved it. It seems kinda like a goofy thing to do, but the views are gorgeous, and it's damn fun flying through the air. The staff are wonderful tour guides as well as extremely safety conscious and thorough. I'll definitely bring visiting friends/family on this very cool adventure, at least so I can do it again and again and again. Luv it!

I'm scared of heights so decided to conquer my fear of it by going on the bucketlist lines.. the highest and longest/fastest lines they had. I loved it! And will definetly be going back the next time im in peachland to do all 6 lines.

Great place. Highly recommended. Just be prepared to drive for about 3 km on unpaved road.

An excellent morning out while visiting the Penticton area! It’s always a great time to experience a historic train like this. The views along the route are fantastic, be sure to sit in the open cars on the valley side. The volunteers were great to chat with and they really have the whole operation running so smoothly.

->Fantastic steam engine excursion; Mid-ride disembarking process needs work<- Excited to get tickets for this excursion (how often do you get to ride behind a 1912 N-2-b class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive, built by MLW for CPR) Beautiful sound! Lovely engine! Ride was from about 10:30 - 12:15 There's a "valley side" or a "canyon/mountain side". Pick the valley side or else your view will be hill and looking across other people's heads towards the valley. You don't get the option to stand up/move/change seats during the ride or at the mid-way point. At the end of the line, the engine uncouples and goes around to the other end of the train. Riders are invited to disembark "for 10 minutes" (there's a porta-potty) to take photos with the engine. But there's only 1 exit for the entire train. It took almost the entire layover time just to get all the people off the train, so by the time you got off, you had to get back in line to get back on. And you won't get any pictures with the engine, there's too many people. That was ridiculous, really. I would have MUCH preferred the option to disembark BEFORE the train goes out halfway across the bridge (for photos) because the only way you can get a photo of the train on the bridge is to wait around for the next excursion and wait here to get your photos. I think this part of the trip requires a re-think. Had some trouble at the station too, there are a set of about 10 wooden stairs but there is no anti-slip/visual markings on the edges of the steps and my partner in his excitement, missed a step and fell hard. Yellow lines on the edges of the steps might have prevented this and many of the riders are older folk...so maybe a thought, eh?

What a great experience! The volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. We loved it! Very fun!!! Book open air, valley side for the best views. Bring a blanket. :)

Very fun. Nice views and the conductor that explains local history and sights during the ride is a nice touch. All crew was incredibly friendly and answer any questions you have. Good value for money, actually seemed cheap to me for what you get ($33/pp). Great way to spend a couple hours.

A fantastic ride through history! The Kettle Valley Steam Railway is such a fun and unique experience! You get to ride an old steam train through beautiful Okanagan scenery — vineyards, orchards, and even over a huge trestle bridge with amazing views. You can choose an open or closed carriage, and the ride is smooth and relaxing. The coolest part? They have themed rides like the Great Train Robbery, where actors on horseback actually “rob” the train, just like in the Wild West. Super fun for both kids and adults! After the ride, you can enjoy lunch and hang out at the station. It really feels like a trip back in time. Highly recommend it if you’re anywhere near Summerland, BC. 🚂💨

This is the second time that we’ve visited this place. It didn’t disappoint! The experience was great. Booking up the seats was easy and travelling in the open carriage was wonderful in the hot weather.

Visiting from England with local relatives. We were blessed with a beautiful day at ~26°. We arrived just after lunch. Lots of car parking space. Minimal queuing - purchasing tickets in advance recommended. There are options within 1. closed carriages (large sliding windows open to help bring the outside in) and 2. open sided carriages which might be a better option on a hot day. Our carriage was very comfortable and the large window gave a nice through draft to keep everyone cool. The wonderful conductor with his microphone in hand, educated us on the railways history. The stories of the prolific bank robberies; things of interest that we might expect to see in the trip including bears. They had been seen in the area earlier in the day. How exciting. They played some good old country music in the background. It was great! The tour lasted about 1.5 hours. With commentary and breathtaking scenery, I'd highly recommend. I thought it was good value for money. Sometimes they have staged 'robberies' acted out and I'd have loved that. There was a bear but it quickly disappeared up a nearby tree however, just looking out for them was also great fun and even the big kids on board were loving it all. At the top of the track at.the half time point the engine swaps around ready for the return leg of the journey. At this point you can get out and stretch your legs, take photos and have a photo taken for you of your group at the front of the engine by one of the crew. All.part of the service amd a lovely momento of the day. In a.nutshell, definitely recommend a visit. Kids and adults alike will love this railway adventure that transports you back in time almost, when hearing all of those great stories. No dogs allowed. Great gift shop Clean washrooms. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loads of parking space Reasonable ticket prices Great value for money. Awesome views. We also visited the dirty laundry winery for lunch before.this.trip, more about that next .... My photos don't do it justice, you have to go and see for yourselves. 🥰 Enjoy!!

We had an amazing time at Dirty Laundry ...the food, the wine & the atmosphere were all top notch. We enjoyed lunch with a view and had a great afternoon. Bob was a super host!!! Definitely worth the trip to Summerland!

Our visit was completely lovely from the moment we entered to room. Our tasting host was pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. She managed to host three separate tastings with ease and shared the winery story with the group of us. Her delivery was funny while informative. The winery decor cleverly plays up the dirty laundry theme.

I came up to the Okanagan with a girlfriend and she wanted to visit a winery. Out of all the wineries up here I chose Dirty Laundry for her to visit. I have brought family from Germany here, so I knew she would enjoy this one. The wine tasting was good and for only $6!!! Viktoria was very informative and super friendly, when we were looking to purchase wine she came and asked if we need helping with any of our choices. After we were done wine tasting we sat out on the patio to listen to live music and have some pizza. Oh was the pizza ever good!!! And the views and ambience on the patio were beautiful. When we left my girlfriend said to me, thank you so much for bringing me to this winery, I loved it!! So sounds like my choice of wineries to visit was perfect!

Absolutely incredible place. We arrived on our travels from Ottawa, to find out sadly that no dogs were allowed on the patio. Sherri the Manager was fantastic and found us a spot to accommodate us and Lewis our Golden Doodle. Moreover, she went above and beyond with a bottle of the Vineyards Pinot Gris - gratis. An amazing spot and great customer service Sherri and love the vineyard.

Wow, wuat a hidden gem and concept! Excellent ratings, tastings, wine, atmosphere, pizza and smokehouse. If you wine touring finish here! Smokehouse and pizza are very impressive. Staff excellent and trained, red wines are excellent. We will be back. It's a goto for Summerland wine tastings!

This is one of my favourite wineries, consistently great wine and always a welcoming atmosphere! Recently got to experience their patio and shared a bottle of wine and a pizza and honestly did not want to leave! Can’t wait to go back!!

This was our first time, and I'm totally coming back. The pizza was awesome, and the view from the patio was incredible. We had to wait for a table, so we did the wine tasting, and I'm so glad we did. It was fun trying new wines. I can't wait to go back.

Took my girlfriend out to the winery to check it out and we were taken aback by how wonderful it all was. The vineyard itself is absolutley beautiful, got to admire the scenery as we ate a delicious lunch in the grass. The staff is so amazing and pleasant all the time, our server was an absolute delight!! The Chef definitely knew what he was doing, the food was to die for!!! Even managed to pair the meal up with the perfect bottle of wine, we will be coming back here again for sure! It's the perfect place to go for a excellent little date, I would recommend everyone in the area to go check it out and enjoy all that they have to offer!!

Lots changed since the last time I was here. I'm particular, the implementation of Covid-19 protocols. Great job implementing and staff adhering to. As usual, the service and the wine tasting were terrific. A special shout out to John C, our sommelier. A wonderful place to experience wine tasting.

Amazing tasting of some great wines from Black Sage and Sumac Ridge. Jim was incredible with his knowledge and expertise of the wine making process. We learned so much and Jim made sure we had a great experience. Will definitely be returning!

Visited Sumac Ridge Estate Winery and tried a taster flight from Black Sage. I got the $8 flight but I didn't quite like it. I think I would have preferred the $15 as I don't like dessert wines, but I couldn't quite understand the French man who was explaining it to me because he had an accent + he was muffled by the mask.

We were just some smelly campers stopping in, but they treated us like gold, gave us the most delicious wine, and made us laugh. It was wonderful.

We didn't make an appointment but they were able to fit us in for a tasting. Our host John C was awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. He didn't mind at all that we'd brought our two young kids with us. He was very careful about following Covid-19 protocols, which we really appreciated. The wines were great and there were a variety of price points - we really liked the premium Black Sage label. Great view from the winery too.

We had a wonderful experience tasting today! Leighton, our service representative, was phenomenal! His friendly and energetic style were the perfect accompaniment the fantastic wines we tried! We will definitely be coming back!

Been a few times to Thornhaven Estates Winery. Tastings are $5.00/person, non-refundable for 7 pours. Our pourer was engaging and cracking dad jokes. Bottles are $23.00 to $35.00 and prices include all taxes. - 2021 Tortured grape - 2022 Pinot gris - 2022 Gewürtztraminer - 2021 Horizon - 2022 Pinot meunier - usually my favourite. This iteration was much drier. - 2019 Syrah - 2023 Peyton's pinot - a rare white pinot noir. This was the favourite from the wines that we sampled. Bought a bottle ($24.00).

Best VIEW Unique wines. Great place to taste wine

Great wine tasting experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful location. Can't wait to go back!

We made an impromptu visit to this winery during our stay in Kelowna. My husband & I sat and enjoyed a sublime bottle of 2016 Gewurztraminer on the patio while listening to live jazz. It was perfect on a scorching hot day as they have misting fans running and plenty of shaded areas. The view from the patio is absolutely spectacular; I could have stayed out there for hours. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Love this place. Good wine, great decor and the perfect picnic area. We’ll be back soon!

A wonderful small winery in Summerland BC. Excellent wines and friendly staff. They also hosts various local music performances on Sundays throughout the summer. A must stop when in Summerland.

Always a lovely experience at one of my favourite vineyards! Looking forward to the next batch of rosé.

Very interesting place to learn about parrots. The keeper, Ray, gave very interesting facts about parrots and opens the eyes of visitors about the sad fact of deteriorating number of these birds. I'm so glad to learn about the program that this place run in caring for the parrots. Must visit place when in Peachland, BC.

Fantastic place. But don't come here if you're expecting a zoo. And if you're upset about birds being caged that's not what is happening here. It's run by a fantastic couple who will explain everything and teach you quote a bit about parrots. They're all rescues because of how many unwanted parrots there are in Canada alone. Without parrot island I suspect many of these birds would be abused or dead. It's open to public as birds are very expensive. You're coming here for a nice educational experience and to support a good cause. You get to see what you're supporting too. Think of it like you're donating to a charity, but you know exactly where your money is going. I saw some other comments about the birds biting, they tell you before you enter DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS NEAR THE CAGE. If you got bit and posted a negative review, you're actually just an idiot. Follow the rules, learn something new and donate to a good cause.

Thumbs up for the owners who make this possible. This is not a zoo nor attraction, but a real safehaven for neglected parrots. The owner himself would prefer all these birds in the wild and that no humans would have them as pets. These animals are to beautiful and intelligent to cage. Its nice to get the chance to see them and interact with them, but you feel that we shouldnt bring them up this way.

I visited the sanctuary pre COVID ( as they have been closed to the public since that time because Avian flu is high in there area). The facility is huge housing meny Large parrots. the parrots seem to be in adequate cages with lots of fresh food and water. This place is ran by an elderly couple. Very friendly and full of information . I can't imagine having to care for this meny birds. They are amazing and deserving of more help which they don't have. I only wish I lived closer.

Visited Parrot Island during our summer vacation with the kids. The owners are very nice people, passionate about the birds, and are very informative about what they are doing. This is a rescue facility and its amazing how the birds are affected and need to be loved and treated. They all have their own personalities and made us as parents laugh and the kids giggle and dance with them. We would definitely recommend people go see the birds, donate to the cause of the sanctuary, and become more educated about parrots. I agreed 100% with the owners; they should be left in the wild. Not as a pet

The family that runs this place is doing it for a good cause. The parrots are lovely creatures and misunderstood to be raised as pets. In reality you'll learn that these lovely creatures belong in the wild and millions become household pets; only to be given up later, as they can only be loyal to one individual person. The parrots loved us and tried to talk to us, that was a highlight of our trip.

So sad to see those birds caged up. I'd want to pluck my feathers too. Birds are funny and affectionate, but watch your fingers with some.

We had a great experience in this winery and food truck! We had an amazing tasting and later we ate a snack and had a delicious and creative milkshake! Recommended to visit, they have picnic tables, chairs to enjoy the view, wine is good, specially the reds.

Sleepy sundays are perfect for cruising and enjoying our backyard… when in West Bank it’s a Pepper Pot Grill West Kelowna and Paynter's Fruit Market/Off The Grid Organic Winery kinda day! Common theme: nostalgia! Off The Grid Winery is one of our favourite places! 100 year + working farm, fully organic approach, craft small batch, free range critters, very picturesque and has a garden food truck! Nestled beside the Glen Canyon, this beautiful farm has been in the Paynter family for over 5 generations. Mid elevation, western slope and coupled with old world traditional organic farming delivers stunning wine production and an unique profile in the Valley. Maintaining its casual, unpretentious, wine-country vibe paired with exceptional wines and gorgeous views-it’s definitely a destination winery! Perfect for families, couples, weddings, wine connoisseurs or anyone wishing to enjoy a slow pace in our fast ever-changing world… this is a “MUST VISIT”! 🇨🇦🏆🍇🍷🥂🐐🐓🐑 Thank you for the great tasting and chat Karen!

Nice tasting, we liked the wines! We would have loved to enjoy a glass of Rosé afterwards in their beautiful sunny picnic area (with a foodtruck and goats), but unfortunately, they don‘t serve their wines per glass - they only sell bottles or tasting flights. (Too much for a driver…)

Such a cute spot with a big backyard and lots of animals 🐐🐓 — perfect for families with kids. Loved that they even have non-alcoholic cocktails 🍹! Only minus: tastings aren’t free here.

I love Off the Grid! A small, authentic family owned winery with organic wine and so many cute animals! Every visit there is a truly wonderful experience. All of their wines I've tasted so far were fabulous and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My favourite wine is the orange Gewürztraminer :) Be sure to check out the food truck, it's super nice to sit there, enjoy a bottle of wine and have a delicious meal. Also: There is the best outdoor yoga on Sunday mornings at the winery!

The property is a great place for a family wanting to wine taste and entertain kids. As a parent, the combination of wine tasting and active feeding of the sheep, goats and chickens is spectacular! My kiddo absolutely loved feeding the animals all well my wife and I enjoyed sipping wine! A must stop at winery if you've got the kids with you!

Great wines tasting. Love the « Frozen » one! Super sympatic host. Nice farm animals to see. Great visit. Thanks :-)

Christie Falls is not just a destination, it’s an experience. The journey through the forest is adventurous and thrilling, with steep slopes, narrow paths, and rope sections that demand both caution and excitement. The trail is definitely treacherous in parts, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Every step through the rugged terrain builds anticipation, and then, out of nowhere, you’re greeted with the breathtaking view of the falls. The cascading water surrounded by lush greenery is absolutely mesmerizing. It feels untouched, wild, and pure, a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. It was also amazing to witness rock climbers scaling the cliffs nearby, adding to the vibrant and adventurous vibe of the area. Christie Falls is one of those places that make you feel truly alive. If you enjoy hiking, a bit of adrenaline, and spectacular views, this spot should be high on your list. Highly recommend taking the journey, nature doesn’t get much better than this.

WARNING June 1st 2025. GRIZLY BEAR spotted living in the large cave at bottom of the falls. ANOTHER BEAR (unknown kind) living in the smaller cave at the bottom of the falls.

The hike from the trailhead to the falls is really two separate sections. The first portion is ~1km from the trailhead to the cliff. This portion has had some recent maintenance as numerous fallen trees have been cut and moved away from the path. This portion also contains small creek crossings with some small crafty bridges created to assist. Second portion from the cliff down is a more challenging section. This portion begins with ropes to assist down this steep section. I recommend that you do not bring a big dog or small Children down this portion. This was too steep for my Bernese Mountain Dog to attempt. 4X4 to the trailhead recommended. The road get worse the further you travel, and contains 1 relatively steep uphill section.

Absolutely gorgeous place a little bit of a harder hike in near the end of the trail. The road for the last 20km is worse than a logging road, but worth it.

This was a great hike. Keep your eyes 👀open for a white sign that says "Christie Falls" Just before the turn. Good parking, short walk in over the streem crossings then down a steep short section to the falls. Or stay up top too and walk to the end 🐕. The trail is recommended for people that have climbing gear or are decent free climbers for the short section. Otherwise just amazing. I wish we packed a bigger lunch. 😊

The hike was fun and interesting. You have to climb down to the waterfall using ropes and vice versa. However, the waterfall itself was underwhelming with little water coming down. Probably because it was the end of the summer. Maybe if we go here earlier it might have been better. Still, it’s a place worth to visit. *Update: I went here again in late spring and the waterfall was fantastic!! Pictures below.

The drive in to the trail head was more challenging/off roady than we expected. I wouldn't attempt it unless you have an SUV or other 4 wheel drive vehicle. The actual hike is pretty easy and short bur requires climbing down a very steep clifr with the assistance of ropes that have been tied by previous visitors. Still some amazing views from the top of the falls if you arent up for the scramble down/up.
