Walking/Birding Tours
Exclusive
to Gibson Heritage House guests!
 Gibson Heritage House Bed & Breakfast will sponsor walking/birding
*tour packages. Enjoy 4 nights and 3 days
of relaxation (off season rates
apply with arrival Monday evening and departure Friday morning - choose your
suite).
Stroll the trails along the
waterways, through the woods and meadows while experiencing the Okanagan's
transition into fall with the orchards beginning to bear fruit, the
vineyards laden with grapes and the beautiful fall colors!
While these are primarily
walking tours, during your 4 - 5 hour walk you will visit the outskirts of
Penticton including the Okanagan Falls Nature Trust and the Vasseaux Lake
Bird Sanctuary, we encourage you to take the time to observe our desert-like
country.

each day's tour will allow guests to share their experiences and
observations.
Remember to pack
warm clothes and rain gear as well as sturdy walking boots or shoes
(yes, Penticton has been known to offer inclement weather). May we also
suggest you bring your reference books and binoculars/camera. It
is imperative that you are physically able to complete the walking tour
as you may be climbing hillside trails. The Gibson House will
require all tour guests to sign a waiver prior to commencing on the
tour. |
