Kelowna
 

We are going to be in BC 14 days and plan to visit Vancouver, Whistler, Victoria. We would like to drive to either Kelowna or Kamloops from Vancouver and then on to Whistler. Which do you recommend and is it worth the drive? Would 4 Vancouver, 3 Whistler, 3 Kelowna, and 4 Victoria be a good split of time? Any suggestions are appreciated. We are flying in/out of Vancouver. Thanks everyone~

4 in Victoria is too many, in my opinion. 2 days is plenty of time. Have you considered also visiting the west coast of Vancouver Island? Maybe 2 days in Whistler, 2 in Victoria, and 3 in Tofino?

You may not want to drive to Kelowna re weather. Depending on snow you may not be able to make it over the mountain passes. It can be very treacherous! Although the drive is worth the destination!

When are you going to be in BC?

We are going to be in BC the first two weeks of October. Will the weather be too bad to drive to Kelowna? Would you recommend Kelowna or Kamloops? We plan to spend 4 days on Vancouver Island--would 2 in Victoria and 2 in Tofino be good? Any other suggestions of places to see would be helpful and really appreciated.
Thanks once again~

tofino is definitly more interesting at this time of year then kelowna or kamloops. i'd spend 4 nights in vancouver, 2 nights in victoria, 3 in whistler and 3 in tofino. it's a bit of a drive from victoria to tofino so 3 nights should be the minimum.

I agree I would skip Kelowna at this time of year. Too late for the lake, too early too snow ski. What else can I say.

One thing that has been overlooked is that Kelowna's wineries will still be open. I always thought that September/October was prime wine season because the grapes have just been picked, and there are wine festivals.

Regardless, if you're interested in wine even in the slightest, Kelowna might not be so bad of a place to base yourself out of even for a night.
