About
Coyote Cruises offers inner tube rentals and shuttle transport back to the starting point, so you can enjoy a leisurely ride down the 7 kilometer long channel that connects the beautiful Okanagan Lake to Skaha Lake. Times vary depending on channel water flow. If you would like to float the full length, you must arrive by 3:15pm. All floaters to end must be IN the water before 3:30pm. As of July 30 it is a slow float, taking 1.5 hours to mid-point, and 3+ hours to the end. Due to wind conditions, we may require everyone to get out at the MID-POINT. Bus pick is at both MID and END points.
Anyone under 15 has to be accompanied by an adult. Tubers between 15-18 must have a parent sign a waiver for them.
