What travellers are saying
- Jennifer W2 contributionsThis place is wonderful! I went with my 2 kids & they really enjoyed swimming in the pools. A short but beautiful walk to the falls. I highly recommend!Written July 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mary BAlbuquerque, New Mexico88 contributionsThere are several lovely walks in this park. If you are looking to be surrounded by forest, you will find that here. Do pick up a map - it is easy to get turned around in here. We took Melda's Marsh Loop, and though the map says it connects with Seal Loop, we could not find it. User error, I believe. Some of the signage is a bit misleading, but I think the purpose in this park is to wander and absorb, not to get from point A to point B. Easy, pretty connecting trail to Seal Bay RV Park.Written July 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rosemary HCoquitlam, Canada22 contributionsAttention gin/vodka/rum drinkers! A must stop in Courtenay. Not a hard liquor drinker personally but they have gins variety that are awesome! Honey spiced will remind you of Christmas. If you are a coffee drinker, stock up on Espresso & Cacao vodka!Written July 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- A&E J.Victoria, Canada2 contributionsSuch a wonderful museum all around! We booked the private fossil tour and enjoyed exploring the museum before our tour. Pat was a wonderful guide and showed us the amazing paleontology fids around the museum. At the river bed, Pat was patient and kind and so engaging. He really took time with our kids, especially our youngest who wants to be a paleontologist. Thank you so much, Pat. It is an experience we will never forget!Written April 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- gdeakinsDes Moines, WA340 contributionsIf you appreciate PNW indigenous art, this gallery is worth a visit. Whether you are actively shopping or “just looking”, the gallery has lots to offer with a wide variety of tasteful merchandise and helpful staff to assist you. Reasonably priced, they have merchandise to fit almost any budget . There are some very nice, unique pieces, however, I would not characterize the gallery as “high end” or “fine art”. Jewelry, clothing, carvings, prints, small sculptures, books, children’s items and more! You will be tempted!Written July 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teri6023Vancouver, Canada53 contributionsWe had an excellent tasting at the winery. Megan , the person who walked us through the tasting was very knowledgeable, friendly and didn’t rush us. Each sample was described in detail when we were curious and she did not push anything on us. The setting is relaxed and casual and the wines delicious. We’ve been to many tastings in the past but this was by far the most relaxed and enjoyable. I think this had everything to do with the presentation and the relaxed and friendly approach Megan had. I ended up walking out with a good selection of wines and joined the wine club! We’ll done Beaufort winesWritten August 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- gdeakinsDes Moines, WA340 contributionsOne of the best galleries for PNW art we have visited in quite sometime. We are not experts, but we know what we like, and we liked what we saw … a lot! Some of the pieces were simply stunning. Unfortunately, our favorite piece was out of our price comfort level. Highly recommended!Written July 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Miles G4 contributionsWe had an absolutely brilliant day at Raven’s Moon Farm. Our kids loved walking around the farm picking berries, finding treasure, and my wife and I loved the cider tasting. We were made to feel extremely welcome, a visit is highly recommended.Written September 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dan gCourtenay, Canada114 contributionsA very very good and a very very nice and a very very scenic park to walk or ride your bike around or just relax at and watch the birds but I recommend staying out of that park after dark.Written February 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dan gCourtenay, Canada114 contributionsSome very very nice stores and very very nice restaurants and very very nice coffee shops and a very very good bank named the Scotia Bank.Written January 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sheelagh CVictoria, Canada1 contributionThis was the highlight of our day, & we couldn’t believe the amount of rare artifacts, stories, and true history that was housed in this museum. The passionate curator was so knowledgeable and truly enhanced the experience. Getting to actually use the player piano was worth the admission alone. Can’t wait to take more people back to this hidden gem. Thank you Lewis for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.Written June 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Scott LCourtenay, Canada196 contributionsEasy access one way in or at the end of a long set of trails along the Puntledge River it's a fascinating trip. Starting in late August and through to early October watching the salmon head upriver for spawning is amazing. At the hatchery seeing the salmon stacked six feet deep and twenty feet wide at the spawning grounds is a must see for nature lovers.Written January 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan MBowser, Canada116 contributionsHave visited this garden in spring and winter to view Rhododendrons and Craft fairs. Always delighted to mosey about, enjoy the flowers, paths and artisans offerings.Written January 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- clooshCourtenay, Canada77 contributionsOften used by retired locals from Courtenay and Comox, this is a great site by the Salish Sea with most campsites overlooking the rocky beach and looking east over towards Powell River on the mainland Sunshine Coast, an hour and a half's ferry ride away.
Some spectacular sunrises amidst the many trees in the campground, including one massive cedar.
A good place to park for a few days and scout the local areas.
It feels safe, with the impression that other campers would keep an eye open for anyone who shouldn't be there.
Not a great lot to do in the camp, a couple of walks and boat launches, but lots of interesting places and sites, from shopping to golf courses in the nearby communities.Written August 27, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
