Activities

Coho Shores Vacation Rental provides the ideal home base for exploring Quadra Island, Cortes Island, Campbell River and the waters in between. 

 

Enjoy the Great Outdoors

 

Quadra Island offers a wealth of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, sea kayaking, canoeing and fishing.  Charters are available for fishing, wildlife viewing and whale watching.  Or, bring your boat and moore it nearby at the Heriot Bay Marina or launch it nearby.

 

Artist Galleries

 

Quadra Island has a wealth of artists.  Come for the annual studio tour, or tour any time of the year using the Studio Guide as a reference.  Whether you enjoy glass blowing, pottery, wood carving, painting, or jewelery, you will be sure to find it here.

 

A short ferry trip to Campbell River will allow you to explore the Campbell River Art Gallery.

 

Cultural Experiences

 

Quadra Island has a rich and fascinating history.  To learn more pick up a copy of Jeanette Taylor's book The Quadra Story, available in Campbell River at Coho Books.  Or, just let us know when you make your reservation and we can have one for you when you arrive.

 

Go searching for petroglyphs at Cape Mudge or visit the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre to learn about local First Nations.

 

Food and Wine

 

Quadra Island has several wonderful restaurants whether you are looking for a relaxed lunch or a gourmet dinner.  Visit our local winery for a tasting.  The local food guide provides listings of farms on the island where you can find the best local food products.

 

Sit Back and Enjoy

 

Relax on the front deck and watch the eagles fishing, or if you are lucky you may spot a passing pod of Orcas.

 

Stormy days make for an exciting stay at Coho Shores Vacation Rental.  You will have a first class seat to watch the incredible waves produced by winter storms.

 

Literary Retreats

 

At Coho Shores Vacation Rental we love books.  If you let us know in advance, we can have almost any book available for you when you arrive.  Ask us for details when you make your reservation.  Not sure what book to read next?  We are avid readers and would love to help out with a recommendation for readers of any ages.
