Parasailing with Ogopogo Parasail high over Lake Okanagan, our trips conveniently depart right from the new downtown commercial dock located lake side at the base of Bernard Ave. Customize your flight, fly single tandem or triple, fly low or fly high, get wet or stay dry. Parasailing is an activity for ages 4 to 104 so bring the whole family. The most experienced crew in the Okanagan guarantee you will safely take off and land right from the back of the boat. This makes Parasailing 100% safer as there is no running or jumping and no chance of getting dragged through the water. Ogopogo Parasail's owner is the captain of the boat, so you know you are getting over 12 years of experience behind the wheel and great service that only a small business owner would provide. Don't risk your vacation with a less experienced competitor. Make sure you ask for a ride on the Ogopogo Boat and enjoy parasailing experience. Ask about Parasail and jet boat combos or the new Dinner Cruise Combo.
The Basilians lived among their people, ministering to their spiritual needs and helping to build schools, churches and community institutions. The Beaver Lake mission was the site of their first monastery and chapel.
