Your Visit to Kelowna

The scenic lakeside city of Kelowna, British Columbia, offers opportunities for waterfront and beach recreation. It is also home to artisanal dairy and honey farms, and it combines an unspoiled, rural flavor with the attractions of a city. Orbitz.com offers low-cost flights to Kelowna, as well as sales on hotel accommodations.

Kelowna International Airport

After your flight lands at Kelowna International Airport, you can rent a car to drive the 9 miles to central Kelowna. Four car rental companies, four taxi companies and one limousine company provide service at the airport. A taxi ride to downtown Kelowna costs about $36 CAD. Private shuttle buses and several public bus routes also stop at the airport. Shuttle prices depend upon the distance traveled, and bus fare is $2.25 CAD.

Experiencing Kelowna

Lake Okanagan is said to be the home of Ogopogo, a legendary monster similar to the one that allegedly inhabits Loch Ness. Nevertheless, the lake is a great place for swimming, boating, parasailing and lakeside strolls. Vineyards offer tasting tours and a chance to buy exceptional local wines; two vineyards worth a visit are Quails' Gate Winery and St. Hubertus and Oak Bay Estate Winery. Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm is one of the many small farms that make Kelowna famous for high-quality and often unusual produce, and Gatzke's Farm Market in nearby Oyama is worth a visit if you're interested in picking up some local gourmet jams and preserves.

The weather in Kelowna varies from lows of about 17 degrees Fahrenheit in January, when highs reach only about 31 degrees Fahrenheit, to highs of 81 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and lows of about 50 degrees Fahrenheit in July and August. Nearly 15 inches of snow fall in Kelowna in December, and January is also a snowy month, so bring winter sports gear and snow boots if you visit during those months. Even in the warmer months, nighttime can be chilly, so bring a jacket to wear for lakeside walks at sunset.
