THE GUIDE

Professional instruction gets the whole family rolling

A friendly, professional off‑road tour guide provides the training and direction you need to start driving your own buggy safely within minutes—helmets are supplied and the briefing is included in the outing.

THE SCENERY

Okanagan mountain and lake viewpoints

The route delivers recurring vistas of the Okanagan Mountains and Lake Okanagan—ample opportunities to pause, photograph and take in the region’s clean air and broad alpine‑to‑lake panoramas.

THE TRAILS

Forest, rock and creek features for all skill levels

Expect a mix of mountain roads, forested and rocky trails, creek crossings, hills and boulder sections that make the drive engaging whether you’re piloting a two‑ or four‑seater.

What the day feels like

What the two‑hour outing feels like

The outing is compact and kinetic: a short safety and operating briefing, a handover of helmets, then a guided two‑hour round trip that mixes instruction with open‑trail driving and scenic stops—whether you’re driving or riding shotgun you’ll move from wooded singletrack to rocky ledges and creek fords, framed throughout by mountain and lake views.
