I joined the July 31 Discovery Island 6-day Kayaking trip and it was beyond AMAZING! the locations/islands we camped and stopped by were breathtaking and we were able to see wildlife from a very close distance (whales, seals, Eagles, Dolphins, tons of jelly fish). The serenity this trip has to offer is just beyond words. The camping equipment smelled fresh when opened and they are very new and easy to use. Sleeping mat & pillow were comfy. The food was just to die for, with a good variety and properly seasoned and prepared. We had crispy skin Salmon and cheese cake for the first night! How can you beat that?! Our guides Nolan and Josh were super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They worked non-stop to make sure everyone is take care of. Quite often I could heard someone in the group commented "OMG they need to take a break!!"
I booked this trip as a retrieve from a very stressful work situation, and I came home happy, refreshed and feel like a different person. The first night we stayed at Gowlland Harbour Resort and it was very good with amazing views.
I will definitely recommend Wildcoast Adventures to anyone who wants to truly enjoy the magical nature of BC, but not having worry about tide, directions and food.
P.S Valerie, who man the office was also very helpful before the trip on all communication, clothing/camera equip suggestions. She even picked me up from the ferry terminal.

This is an absolutely incredible family run business that prides itself on making the best quality spirits possible from locally available produce. They have done a great job in curating the historical implication of their craft in the area and have integrated this into their facility in an almost museum like capacity. When you do a distillery tour, it quickly becomes apparent that they have made significant investment in equipment that allows them to produce the best quality products possible. The atmosphere is delightful. The staff are incredible and you are remiss if you don't make this a destination to visit if you are in the Okanagan. You will be impressed!

Went on a Monday night and alot of locals were there which was nice to see. I was concerned about the party crowd but that group seemed to be up high on hill and were not a distraction. Smelled a small amount of pot in the air but nothing to bad. Place was fun with a beautiful backdrop. Pirates of the Caribbean the third was just ok.

The views from the east side of the spit are absolutely stunning. The wood lands between the west/east side are hauntingly beautiful with these weird twisted trees and lush lemon green grass. At every turn there is something to see. The rocks are abound and the kelp thrown to the rocky shoreline shine with a radiant lime green. The main land just beyond is there for all to see. Mountains galore with a hazy blue hue, the peaks rugged and inviting. A true paradise to paint.

We stayed for a week mid-February with a group including a seven-year old, a non-skier, and grandparents - and we all had an amazing time! There were enough restaurant options in town to meet all our needs (picky kid, vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore!) and there was a variety of activities to keep us busy. Friendly staff everywhere and just beautiful scenery.
If you have younger kids or non-skiers I'd recommend staying closer to the village. Our condo was a short walk - but with snowbanks taller than us and narrow roads it was not a comfortable one after dark.
We'd highly recommend Silver Star and hope to come back.

Sicamous is small but you should definitely stop here for ice cream. It's made with milk fresh from the dairy. There is even a sign telling you the date the cows were milked to make the ice cream you're eating. Grab an ice cream and walk around the barn to see the animals.
You can buy other fresh dairy products as well.
My only suggestion is, since we're getting it practically straight from the cow, lower the prices a bit?
