Things to see and Do while visiting:

When you visit the Comox Valley your greatest challenge will be deciding what to do first!  Outdoor enthusiasts will find no end to the activities available in the Valley.  High-energy rivers spill from the mountains as they make their restless journey from alpine to ocean.  There, where fresh water meets salt, the beaches are cloaked in fine sand or scattered with pebbles.  The sky is alive with the cries of gulls and the calls of eagles.  Between the mountains and the sea lies a lush, temperate rainforest alongside lakes perfect for swimming, canoeing and catching fat trout.  Meandering trails through the woods welcome hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders, while sheltered ocean waters beckon kayakers and divers.  

Things to do:

• Boating
• Diving
• Fishing & Charters
• Golfing
• Hiking
• Mountain Biking and Cycling
• Wilderness and wildlife watching

Day Trips:

• Strathcona Provincial Park
• Home Lake Caves
• Whale watching out of Telegraph Cove
• Parksville, renowned for its sandy beaches
• Cathedral Cove
• Victoria, Capital City of B.C.
• Museum of B.C. in Victoria

Directions

If you are flying in, our airport designation is YQQ.

If you are driving to Vancouver Island from mainland BC you have a few possible routes. The most direct from downtown Vancouver is to take the BC Ferry from Horseshoe Bay (North Vancouver) to Departure Bay in Nanaimo, then drive north about an hour and a half. If you are travelling from south of Vancouver, you may prefer to take the BC Ferry from Tsawwassen (South Vancouver) to Duke Point just south of Nanaimo, and head north about 2 hours to Comox.

Another scenic possibility is to travel from Tsawwassen to Sidney near Victoria and then drive north to Comox. It's about a 4 hour drive. Vancouver Island is about 300 miles long, and we are just about in the middle.

To get to the competition follow the signs to the airport and CFB Comox.  Make a right turn on Miltary Row Street and the parking lot to the Rec. Centre is on your right.
