Courtenay Tours

Located in the heart of some of the most beautiful farming landscape on Vancouver Island, Courtenay is the urban centre of the Comox Valley and the closest town to Mt Washington. With excellent shopping, accommodation and restaurants, Courtenay is home to a new Public Contemporary Art Gallery and the Sid Williams Civic Theatre, the north-central Island's major performance centre. The snow at Mont Washington is often deeper than anywhere else in British Columbia, and occasionally anywhere else in the world! It is also the second-busiest winter recreation destination in British Columbia, behind Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort. Mount Washington also provides excellent hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding in summer, or you can simply make the 40-minute trip to Mount Washington to ride the chair lift and enjoy the wonderful views of the surrounding area.
