Painter's has been the address in Campbell River since the salmon-fishing boom, and it still looks the part: a lodge on the water with a fleet of boats at the dock and photographs of Bob Hope with a chinook in the hallway. Today it is as much a base for grizzly and whale trips as for fishing, and the dock has its own charters.
It is a short drive from the downtown marinas where most tours check in, and the water taxi across to April Point on Quadra is a pleasant evening in itself.
Ideal for
The water
On Discovery Passage north of downtown, with its own dock; the grizzly and whale departures downtown are a ten-minute drive.
