Tours

The Bead Trails is one of the many reasons to drop into the Summerland Visitors’ Centre.  Use a map and your adventurous spirit to collect signature beads and holiday memories at eclectic venues in Summerland, building a bracelet that reflects your personal style in the process.  The trail will whisk you to wineries, art studios and boutiques.  Discover the story behind each bead and share your own.

Nature and heritage trails criss-cross our town and landscape.  Stop in at the Summerland Visitors’ Centre for information on upcoming guided tours, or to pick up a Parks and Trails map.  The Summerland Museum has brochures and maps designed to help you tour heritage buildings and areas of interest.  If you want to see our landscape in a more adventurous way, consider horseback riding, where you can canter mountain paths or take a sedate ride through wildflower meadows while enjoying stunning and varied Okanagan views.

Trail your fingers in the sparkling Okanagan Lake as you paddle the bays and beaches of Summerland.  Discover a new sense of balance during a paddle board yoga class, or get the family together for an unforgettable catered lunch on a pontoon boat.

Check out our watercraft rental options.

Head to the glorious Summerland lakeshore and make eye contact with a rainbow trout or spotted charr at the Summerland Trout Hatchery.  The Summerland Trout Hatchery is the oldest continuously running trout hatchery in B.C. Take a fascinating tour of its aquarium, trough room and outdoor ponds. Fun and interactive activities for the whole family!

Take a self-guided or official tour of the renowned Summerland Ornamental Gardens.  Admire the adjacent train trestle and peer down at the fast running creek at the rugged juncture of a 240-foot deep canyon. Drop into the Summerland Visitors’ Centre for information on the annual Meadowlark Nature Festival, which often includes Summerland garden tours in its joyful celebration of nature.

Arrive in style at an award-winning Summerland winery, or request a custom Okanagan tour from Nixdorf Classic Cars for another unique way to discover the delights of Summerland.
