Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to treat the dads and father figures in your life to a day of adventure, good food, and unforgettable moments. Whether he’s into golfing, lake days, craft beer, or live music with a side of BBQ, Penticton and the South Okanagan offer something for every kind of dad.
Outdoor Adventures with Dad
⛳ Tee Off Together
If your dad loves golf, the South Okanagan is the place to be- home to a variety of scenic courses to suit every skill level.
Penticton Golf & Country Club: Centrally located and well-loved, this 18-hole course offers beautiful fairways and mountain views.
St. Andrews by the Lake (Kaleden): A peaceful 9-hole course just south of Penticton—ideal for a relaxed round in nature.
Fairview Mountain Golf Club (Oliver): A championship course with dramatic desert scenery—perfect for a more challenging and memorable round.
Book a tee time, grab a bite at the clubhouse, and enjoy quality time out on the green.
🌊 Hit the Lake
Spend the day making waves on Okanagan Lake, whether you’re up for high-speed fun or low-key exploring.
Rent a Boat: Rent a boat from Penticton Boat Rentals, with boat rentals available on both Skaha and Okanagan Lake. Choose from powerboats, pontoon boats, and Waverunners for an exciting day on the water.
Enjoy a Scenic Paddleboard: Rent paddleboards right by the beach at Sun n’ Sup in Naramata—great for a peaceful paddle along the shoreline.
Try Kayaking: Explore the lake by kayak, with both single and tandem rentals available at Hoodoo Adventures.
However you choose to cruise, a lake day with Dad is always a win!
🍺 Go on a Craft Beer Crawl
If your dad enjoys discovering new brews, take him on a tour of Penticton’s vibrant craft beer scene with seven craft breweries to discover! If you are celebrating Friday or Saturday, hop aboard the Lake-to-Lake Trolley—a hop-on, hop-off vintage trolley that runs Friday and Saturday evenings between a selection of Penticton breweries and pubs. You can view the loop schedule here. From hoppy IPAs to unique small-batch creations, there’s plenty to sample and enjoy.
