Chemainus Tours was established in 1996 by Jim Bangle, who had recently moved to Vancouver Island after a lengthy career in the Transportation Industry in Jasper Alberta. The business has grown over the years. Chemainus Tours now offers not only the original quality tours of Vancouver Island, but also is the local supplier of Chemainus Mural Tours, by either horse drawn trolley or steam train, bus rentals, and wedding carriage services. Where we Travel: Most of our sightseeing tours originate in Victoria, travel over the spectacular Malahat Pass, with stops at Goldstream Provincial Park and the Split Rock Viewpoint. We enjoy leisurely drives through the scenic and mostly rural countryside of the Cowichan Valley, taking in the attractions of your choice. Our Mural Tours in Chemainus originate at WaterWheel Park, and travel through the town, while the onboard guide explains the history of each mural and other interesting facts. How we Travel: We travel in well appointed, air conditioned vans and highway coaches, depending on group size. All of our vehicles are licensed by the British Columbia Motor Carrier Commission and as such are subject to regular safety inspections. Your safety and comfort is our Number One concern. Mural Tours are conducted aboard horse drawn trolleys or carriages, or the famous Chemainus Steam Train. Booking: Advance booking of at least 24 hours is required for all of our Sightseeing tours. Note that most of these packages have a minimum requirement of four. Group bookings of 10 and over for the Chemainus Mural Tours also requires 24 hour advance notice.

My business offers a unique, valuable and much needed service to Nanaimo. The size of the bus (easier to get in and out of than a van, more friendly than a large highway bus) is comfortable for the seniors. We will get to beauty spots and historic and cultural sites, visit art and craft studios while supporting artists and merchants, restaurants, growers and coastal sightseeing operators. Trips are not merely a bus ride from A to B but include side trips to hidden gems around local communities, which vary with the weather and the whim of the group. All this while sharing experiences and conversations with new friends, keeping the participants interested and active, thus contributing to quality of life and good health, avoiding the incidence of isolation, anxiety and illness/depression which are a risk for retirees.
