Mike, Lyndie, and each member of their dedicated team care deeply about building stronger connections - to the outdoors and among their community. Highlighting the best the Okanagan has to offer, Hoodoo Adventures provides authentic outdoor adventures, indoor/outdoor activities including a climbing gym, tours, and events.

This year has been a rollercoaster with many necessary changes and COVID-19 adjustments, but Hoodoo Adventures is still here and ready to come back stronger than ever. The passion and dedication Mike and Lyndie pour into their business is reflected back by an appreciative community of adventurers - within Penticton and beyond. The outdoors is more popular than ever, but bringing big groups of people together on tours or hosting large events is off the table for now. They have had to be creative, constantly re-adjust, and focus on opportunities to do things differently.

Knowing that cost may be a barrier, Mike and Lyndie brainstormed ideas of how to get locals more involved in outdoor activities without having to purchase gear or worry about maintaining it. On top of their already popular rental programs, Hoodoo Adventures has introduced a new Membership Deal, offering unlimited access to equipment and time slots at the climbing gym, as well as discounts to tours and courses - all at a very low monthly rate.

During another innovative pandemic initiative, participants biked or hiked along routes equipped with maps provided by Hoodoo Adventures. The “Virtual Challenge” included checkpoints to take photos of and submit for a chance to win great prizes from local businesses. Many locals took the opportunity to get outside with their closest circle, substitute for kids’ canceled P.E. classes, and stay connected to the community from a distance.

You may not be able to travel far from home this year - but it’s a great opportunity to explore our beautiful backyard. Get out there, whether it’s on a solo adventure or with those closest to you. Pretend you’re a tourist in the region you call home and be surprised by what a little change of perspective can do to renew your sense of adventure. 😊
