- SandK-WellingtonWellington, Canada49 contributionsNice mix of trails of varying length to suit all users. Good shoreline vistas (and yes there were a number of seals).

- dan gCourtenay, Canada88 contributionsA very very nice scenic area along the Puntledge river and a very very nice and cool place to sunbath and relax but I strongly recommend being very careful swimming in the river because of very strong currents and undertows.Written January 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- dan gCourtenay, Canada88 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, Canada88 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.
- Mimi C. Vancouver, BC CanadaVancouver14 contributionsAmazing visit. A must see if in Courtney. The staff was very friendly and informative. Such a cool concept - making spirits from honey. The raspberry gin is the most spectacular and an absolute must purchase. When COVID ends and the bar reopens, it will be even better to go have a cocktail.Written August 5, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- NGVANVancouver, Canada14 contributionsWe spent a nice half hour here in a cloudy cool day in July. It was a nice place to spend a little time and th exhibits were varied. My husband liked the fossils, and I liked the quilts. Not sure what our ten year old liked, but he seemed entertained.Written July 16, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- alexa h1 contributionGreat staff and a beautiful place to visit & taste delicious cider!! Will be coming back for sure . 10/10Written July 27, 2021This 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.
- mexicanbeachdogCampbell River, Canada2 contributionsWe visited this gallery because I had seen the jewelery online and was looking to replace my lost wedding ring. The gallery is filled with the most beautiful examples of west coast Indigenous artistic creations. The people in the store were so friendly and helpful, and provided us with the background of each of the artists. We found the perfect ring and are looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommended!!Written August 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Susan012014Bowser, Canada111 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.
- LO-CLVancouver, Canada200 contributionsA beautiful and peaceful setting for a glass of vino. The whites were our fav's but that could have had something to do with the rather hot temperature.
We didn't have a reservation so we were not able to do a tasting but were able to sit at a picnic table with a couple of bottles.
Great friendly service as well!Written October 14, 2021This 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. - dan gCourtenay, Canada88 contributionsA very very nice and very very good and a very super cool memorial store with some very good war history stuff and very good staff and 100% good customer service and very strict COVID-19 safety policies. Check tis place out you will love it.Written March 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
