“Even though the Werther was Kind of Bad, very clowdy at Times also raining quite a bit, I enjoyed the Trip very much, the views in the Canyon, especially all wet, cloudy and foggy were truly beautiful The abseiling and sliding was also a lot of fun! It started out with shorter abseiling parts at the upper Canyon. It was good because then you did know a bit better what to do, when the last 20 Meter drop abseiling un the lower Canyon came up”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $162

Spend about four hours canyoning near Kelowna, beginning with a short uphill hike before rappelling waterfalls, sliding over rock, swimming through natural pools, and riding a zipline.

“Rushing water, repelling down 7 meter cliffs, and sliding into water falls. This was such a cool, experience!! Will 100% be adventure to their other locations & honestly would do this exact location again!! As locals to the Okanagan, we were shocked this was in our backyard! We knew waterfalls were around & cool scenery, but WOW. MATT WAS AMAZING, FUNNY, AND SO KIND! Would spend more days with him for sure!”
