Take a 10-minute ferry ride from Campbell River to visit Quadra Island, part of the Discovery Islands. The scenic, laid-back island is a good place to check out local arts and crafts, spot wildlife, or relax on the beach and watch the ships go by. Plus, with all the natural beauty the island has to offer, if you like the outdoors, there are plenty of water and land activities to get your adrenaline pumping.
Enjoy water activities
Kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard in the protected channels and bays around the island. Or travel inland to paddle in backcountry Main Lake Provincial Park, where you can also swim and fish.
Experience salmon fishing
Catch salmon in the waters of Discovery Passage from a 17-foot Boston Whaler. All guides are BC salmon fishing experts with vast knowledge of the region and a deep respect for the sport.
Visit Cape Mudge Lighthouse
Set up a picnic right by the Cape Mudge Lighthouse built in 1898 and soak in the stunning views of Campbell River and the other Discover Islands to the south.
Hike or bike
Hike or bike along the Morte Lake Trail to see the lake from every angle. Or hike Shellaligan Pass to visit numerous small bays and a beautiful rocky beach.
Discover local history and culture
View Indigenous artifacts of cultural, artistic and historic value to the Kwakwaka’wakw people, and see the 3000+ year-old petroglyphs at the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre.
Located on the east coast, Campbell River has been known for the past century as the Salmon Capital of the World. But there’s more to Campbell River than fishing—with lots of provincial parks, beaches, restaurants and wildlife, there’s something for everyone.
Located on the East Coast, Comox is rich in agricultural land, forests and mountains. Relax on a beach in summer, or go skiing in winter at Mount Washington, but whenever you visit, head to Fisherman’s Wharf to buy fresh fish right off the boat.
Drive 90 minutes from Nanaimo to the heart of beautiful farming landscapes on Vancouver Island to visit Courtenay—the urban centre of the Comox Valley. Downtown Courtenay boasts charming streets filled with art galleries, theatres, shops, artists’ studios, boutiques and gardens, and out of town there are sandy beaches, forests, mountains, parks and lakes. Plus, drive just 15 minutes to the local ski hill.
Explore BC’s largest marine park, Desolation Sound, along the Sunshine Coast, and delve into the many inlets, islets, coves and bays. Enjoy exploring the 8,449 hectares of steep forested hills, saltwater lagoons, sheltered bays, secluded beaches and crystal-clear lakes.
