Kamloops is more than a city, it’s a state of mind. It’s a small-town kind
of friendly with metropolitan flavours on the side. Far from the hustle
and bustle, it’s a place where you skip the crowds, stretch your legs and
expand your horizons. Resting on the shores of two picturesque rivers, the
landscapes invite a sense of improvised adventure.
Be amazed by twisty single-track bike trails and winding walkways. Tee
off on award-winning golf courses. Cast a line on trophy stillwater. Poke
around local shops and boutiques. Engage with the vibrant arts and culture
scene. Sample an assortment of food that promises to satisfy and satiate
even the most discerning of palates. Indulge in a burgeoning bevy of
wineries, craft breweries, restaurants and cafés that are overflowing with
culinary enthusiasm and intensity.
Kamloops is a city for every season. It’s a place for families, urban and
rural adventurers. Don’t just escape, explore. Go off the grid, get lost and
discover the unexpected along the way.

From diverse outdoor adventure to an explosion of flavours, here’s a taste of
how you can explore Kamloops in 48 hours.
DAY ONE
Afternoon
Check into your hotel of choice and visit the local, eclectic boutique shops in downtown Kamloops. Stop
in at Main Street or Jardines Domaine for trendy clothes, or if you’re searching for chic home and lifestyle
items including indoor plants, explore Far & Wide.
Evening
For dinner, make your way to one of Kamloops’ newest restaurants, Forno on 5th. Pair a whiskey flight
with a Mediterranean inspired dish like the Truffled Mushroom Cannelloni. Boogie into the night with a
concert at The Blue Grotto, Cactus Jacks, or enjoy an intimate concert at The Art We Are.
DAY TWO
Morning
Indulge in a home-cooked Blackstone Benny at Passek’s Classics Café before heading for the hills,
literally. Take a hike on the 4.8km Battle Bluff Trail, approx. 1.5 hours, to be rewarded with panoramic
views of Kamloops Lake. On your way back to town, visit Red Beard Café on The North Shore for a
Grilled Three Cheese or a Breakfast Salad.
Afternoon
Spend the afternoon viewing the latest exhibition at the Kamloops Art Gallery or browse one of the
many unique exhibits at the Kamloops Museum & Archives, like the history of Kamloops fly fishing.
If you’re still up for adventure, take a 15-minute drive east on Highway 1 to the BC Wildlife Park, a
rehabilitation centre for rescued or endangered animals indigenous to British Columbia. Get up close
with over 60 species including Clover, the Spirit Bear, and Gus the mountain goat.
Evening
Exploration and education can be thirsty work; hop on The Triang-ale Trail, a self-guided craft beer
crawl at 3 of Kamloops’ breweries. Sip an IPA or lager paired with a winter root veggie taco at Iron
Road Brewing, some deep-fried pickles at The Noble Pig Brewhouse or a plate of nachos at Red
Collar Brewing Co.
*Remember to drink responsibly
DAY THREE
Morning
Fuel up for the day with green eggs and ham from local hotspot Hello Toast. Before departure, grab
a fishing rod and tacklebox for free from the Kamloops Visitor Centre and cast a line from the dock at
Edith or Walloper Lake. If you want to learn the ins and outs of fishing, go on a guided fishing trip with
Interior Fly Fishing Co.
