We stopped because we had to find a clean restroom, but we found extremely reasonably priced gifts and stellar service. There are earrings, soaps, jams, and books by local artists. There are displays about the local flora and fauna. I purchased a cool Sasquatch t-shirt. There are tons of brochures and maps. The women working here were charming and chatty and suggested that we try to squeeze a drive-through of Chemainus into our journey to the Duke Point ferry, which we did, I highly encourage you to stop here for the hospitality, the locally-made goods, and the clean restrooms! They also have EV charging stations and are next to a discovery center that you could spend more time exploring.

Vacation Planning + Review…read more EDA Travel Ltd is a nice little agency that is tucked away into a tiny shopping plaza. It is by far one of the smallest places you'll find with almost no way to recognize it as it does not stick out from it's surrounding stores at all! They barely have any advertising or signage outside and they definitely don't have any colorful displays of anything that will draw your attention to them, but that being said, it is everything on the inside that counts; from a travel agency stand point, that is referring to their staff. Our family has been planning a vacation to Japan in Asia and a friend in Richmond recommended someone by the name of Elsa to us that works at EDA. She is a wonderful person with a definite heart that is willing to work out anything and everything for your traveling needs. She helped us organize all our travel plans from flight, taxi, tours, and hotels without a single bit of pressure. She even continued to help us shop for deals AFTER hotels have already been booked. So even after reserving hotels, she would send us information for a cheaper and better hotels around the same area, then proceed to help us do all the paper work. Our trip isn't due till mid-May, but judging from the attention to detail, friendly staff, and no pressure attitude, this trip is already looking pretty great! If you're looking for a Chinese travel agency and around the Richmond area, give this place a shot, or maybe just walk in and ask for information so you can judge their service yourself. You should be relatively pleased.

Very helpful staff, good service and great communication, price is good . Highly recommend.read more

The boat is very clean and new. Blankets for when it gets a little chilly and and binoculars for those animal sitings. He also offers tours of the local area of 45 minutes. What an amazing way to travel to a restaurant for dinner.
