More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a short forested trail and the canyon takes over — slick rock, cold rushing water, and a narrow light shaft where waterfalls cut the silence. The river dares you forward; its pools welcome the drop. In Kelowna’s dry, rolling hills those shaded canyons feel like an otherworldly corridor carved through basalt and glacial deposits.

Wildlife
History
Canyons in the Okanagan were shaped by volcanic flows and glacial melt; the area is on Syilx Okanagan territory with a long history of seasonal travel and water stewardship.
Conservation
Keep to established entry/exit points, pack out all trash, and avoid trampling riparian vegetation; group-size limits and wetsuit sanitation help reduce spread of aquatic invasive species.

Wear sticky water shoes
Choose shoes with good grip that strap on securely — they improve footing on wet rock and protect toes during slides.
Layer for quick transitions
Bring a light rain or wind shell to stay warm between swims; hypothermia risk rises quickly in cold canyon water.
Hydrate before you go
Carry at least 1 liter of water and a compact snack; canyon time is physical and there’s limited chance to drink while in a wetsuit.
Follow guide commands exactly
Rappels, jumps and slides are lead-controlled — listen for signals and maintain radio/voice contact when instructed.
Sturdy water shoes (closed-toe)
Grip and toe protection for wet rock and natural slides.
