One-of-a-kind experiences here! Rent a bike and check out the Myra Canyon kettle valley trestle bridges - this is a relatively flat route through the mountains over about 18 old trestle bridges built for a railway 100 years ago. I cannot emphasize how unique and beautiful this experience is. The views of the valleys, lake Okanagan, the mountain tunnels, and Kelowna are unreal. Worth a trip! Also it is a great option for a family because it is a flat bike, so easy.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Scooters and e bikes!!!
These things are everywhere most of the year, and are great to get around in. It’s about as expensive as a taxi for a group, but much more interesting and flexible. Plus you will find scooters outside the condo pretty easily. Just download the Lime and Ride apps.
