TOUR SUMMARY
The sunshine and heat of the Okanagan Valley make it a prime growing area in BC for fruit and vineyards. Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy the bounty of harvest and the fall foliage. Some highlights are a dinner cruise on Okanagan Lake, a honey bee farm visit, O’Keefe Heritage Ranch, the Kettle Valley Steam Train, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, and a tour of South Okanagan wineries. Drive to the Okanagan via the Coquihalla Highway and return through Manning Park. Three fabulous waterfront hotels are offered — Delta Grand Okanagan in Kelowna, Summerland Waterfront Resort, and Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos. This is a great time to visit the Okanagan after the summer crowds have left.

DEPARTURE POINTS & DATES
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Level
Light Activity: You are a traveller who prefers to see places without a lot of physical activity. You can climb a flight of stairs, board a coach or the steam train, stand for short periods, and walk at a leisurely pace with breaks for up to 30 minutes without difficulty or assistance.
You may bring a walker or cane to support your mobility. Please let us know when you book if you will be bringing a walker on this tour. The coach cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you
are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour.

-
Itinerary and Fare Changes: Our many suppliers may notify us about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.
-
Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.
-
Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by Travel Guard. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in British Columbia. While your BC Services Card may cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for cancellation, interruption, and luggage.
