We know Penticton is quite a trek,
especially for those of you coming from outside Canada. If you can't join us, no worries at all—we totally get it. But if you're up for the adventure, just RSVP and we’ve made a little map below to help you find your way!

How to Get There
Car or Camper
Car rental is the most fun way to get there with loads to see along the way. Renting a car starts at $120 (£65) per day. Towable trailers and motor homes are also available. Campers or motorhomes cost more, but they’re a good way to save on accommodation and splitting the journey with others would make it cheaper.
Plane
Flights can be pricey, but you can get good deals. If it works best for you there are flights from Vancouver to Penticton with return flights starting from $250 (£135).
