This year, the iconic float offered an unconventional floating experience due to the COVID pandemic. Coyote Cruises typical hours of operation are from 11 a. With this in mind, hours of operation are weather dependent. For transportation, the company filled its buses at two-thirds capacity with some seats removed to allow for appropriate distancing. Further, the bus driver wasn't on the bus when guests were boarding. Bus seats and equipment were sanitized after each use and all guests sanitized their hands upon entry.
Each tube is sanitized before use which has been their company policy since , and staff did not help guests out of the water to adhere to social distancing. Tubers may opt to bring their own floatie, or they may rent one from the launch site.
There are a number of floaties to choose from, including: solo inner-tubes, double tubes, quad tubes, and ten person party floats. The length of the float depends on the strength of the current, which varies quite a bit through the year. In fact, it can be anywhere from an hour-and-a-half long to over three. As such, prospective 'floatees' should ensure that they wear sunscreen and bring adequate water with them. Once you're on the river, you'll notice that the resident water fowl are not afraid of humans.
Multiple ducks swim alongside the floats, as well as some Canada Geese. You may also notice that some people appear to float faster than others, and that floating near the edges slows the journey down.
That said, it can be dangerous to grab onto anything to slow your float down, so exercise caution. Overall, the float offers a relaxing drift under the hot Okanagan sun, with sweeping mountain views in all directions. The seasonal purslane salad is a must, as are the old-world recipes for dako, giant white beans, grilled octopus and lamb so soft you can spread it like butter.
Where to Stay : Sandman Hotels. Best time of day is between 1pm and 6pm when the sun is hottest. Pickup your own tube at Canadian Tire, or rent from Coyote Cruises right at the launch site. Note from Robin : Make sure you bring a cooler bag to float your beverages alongside you a piece of string will help keep it from wandering away. You can also use string to tie multiple tubes together, or just link feet.
