Learn the art of waterfall rappelling Always be supported by your guide. This adventure is more challenging than our Kelowna trip. Although prior experience isn’t necessary, we do ask that participants possess a sense of adventure. This is essential because once we enter the lower part of the canyon, commitment to the descent is absolute.

Slot adventure a one of a kind experience, feels magical rappelling some amazing cliffs and waterfalls. The adventure starts from arawana campsite where you meet the the canyon experts. I was very grateful to have two of the best canyon guides Matt and Natt. With their expertise the fear of descending down 15 meter high waterfall just goes out the window. They were very encouraging and supportive. Hope I can make time to explore more adventures before the season ends
Thrilling tour!

What an incredible way to get a thrill and see parts of the Okanagan you couldn't see any other way! Thanks to Matt and Nat for their incredible guiding through a fun canyon. We got to do a tonne of repelling and they both had tonnes of patience with all the guests. Can't wait to try out the Kelowna tour!
Amazing experience!

I’ve gone canyoning a few times now and love it every time!! Penticton is pretty different from Kelowna, there’s a lot more rappelling which is a lot of fun. There aren’t really any chances to jump into the water, but there are a few controlled slides where you stay clipped into the ropes, the focus is definitely more on rappelling down waterfalls. My SIL wore her glasses and had no issues, even with the big waterfalls we rappelled down (the guides did have a clip for her so they'd stay in place).
Breathtaking and Exhilarating

This was my first experience with canyoning and I can honestly say that it is something I won't ever get tired of doing. Even with wearing glasses, the instructor had a strap I could wear so they wouldn't fall off. The whole experience was amazing and rappelling down in the water was breathtaking. To be inside the waterfall and seeing views I wouldn't have otherwise seen was something I won't forget. 10/10 recommend and I plan to go back and do more with them
