We bought a BeWell spa from Bruce Vanderkool in Parksville. He was very informative and answered all of our questions, both before and after the sale. We would definitely recommend Bruce to anyone thinking of buying a spa. Great service!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the positive feedback Rob and Iris. So glad that Bruce was able to answer all your questions and find the right spas for your family! Happy Tubbing!

The pump died on my 16 year old hot tub and Monica and Eric from Duncan Arctic Spas came the rescue! Both Monica and Eric were professional, prompt, friendly and supportive. I had my pump replaced faster than I anticipated. Thank you so much to you both!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Ian, for the wonderful review! We’re so glad Monica and Eric were able to come to the rescue and get your 16-year-old hot tub back up and running faster than expected. We know how frustrating it can be when a pump fails, so we’re happy our Arctic Spas team could provide prompt, professional, and friendly service throughout the repair.
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both Monica and Eric. Thank you again for choosing Arctic Spas Duncan!

After researching, viewing different makes/models, and talking to various hot tub sales people, I decided on the Artic tub. Andrew’s information/advice (Victoria store) was accurate vs. misleading info from others. It has been 6 months of enjoyment and I definitely made the right decision on the artic tub, with salt water and spa boy - the best feature with the app. I’m at ease knowing I have Cadillac service with a solid tub. Andrew even remembered my name when popping into the store 6 months later. My experience: ignore sales people who knock salt water and/or Artic tub’s insulation system!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review Byron. We are very pleased that Andrew was able to find the right spa for you and your family and that you love it! Happy Tubbing!

Paul and Matt delivered our first hot tub a few days ago. I was so impressed with their ability to manage the fitment of the tub how we wanted on our property, and both their knowledge and guidance with the systems involved. These tubs are obviously well made and efficient, but their quality components and layout offers ease of inspection and maintenance. The tub has quickly become a beloved part of our existence, and we are sleeping better after our sessions. Thanks Arctic Spas!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Adrian! We are so glad to hear that your new spa is already becoming a valuable part of your routine. Paul and Matt are experts at spa deliveries and will be happy to hear you were pleased with their service. Thanks again for choosing Arctic. Happy Tubbing!

Excellent tub if you want top quality with minimal maintenance demands and don’t want to soak in a pool of chemicals. They were able to make a plug and play model for us (110 amp service) and it has worked well. Service staff have been helpful, reliable and responsive.
Response from the owner:Thanks Ivan, for taking the time to post this review. Did any of our staff in particular stand out? You have accurately described our goal: “minimal maintenance and not soaking in a pool of chemicals.” Happy Tubbing!

Eric came out to solve a non-working pump problem and I was fully expecting a big bill to replace it. He quickly diagnosed a capacitor had failed and replaced that instead. No fuss, no mess and gone in 60 seconds! Fastest tech in the west!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the great review! We're glad Eric was able to quickly diagnose the issue and save you from a bigger repair. “Fastest tech in the West” made our day—we’ll be sure to share that with him! Happy Tubbing!

Great service. After a phone call an email to edit this review for a name, I'm questioning a little on my 5 star. I like the place in Parksville in general,EVERYONE I've encountered has been delightful. I have not purchased my hot tub there,however I do go there to buy my chemicals. The last 2 times Sabrina has been the one who has helped me. ( PS Sabrina was not the one pressuring me to add a name and edit this review 😉)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Caroline! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience. If any team member stood out, we’d love to know so we can recognize them. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

From our first conversation with Bruce, it was obvious that he knew his products, yet he put no pressure on us. He simply presented the many facts that helped us decide, and left us to make our own decision. We have owned 3 tubs since the late '80s, and chemicals was a deal beaker. Arctic Spas became an easy decision. Our spa was delivered on time as promised, by Sam and Erik, and as I was trying to be helpful, we had some good laughs together, and the whole installation was an enjoyable experience. A minor adjustment needed for the YESS system was promptly done by Tania who took a break from her office duty for a house-call. This company has great employees and a top product.
Response from the owner:Thanks for an amazing review Hovard! We are so happy that all members of our team were able to make your experience great; that’s just how we like it! You will love Spaboy if you don’t like the chemicals! Happy Tubbing!

Wow! We are so excited that after many years of being without a “tub” we recently purchased a previously owned Artic Spa. Yes, it is in pristine condition; with new jets, a new spa pack, new head pillows and a new cover with a side lift it came to us at a very affordable price. Imagine after all that time and Artic Spa still dedicated to their product; absolutely impressive that they maintain an older model!!!!! Needless to say, yes we are thrilled with our ARTIC FOX that was built in 2017 and that it continues to “gift” us hours of leisure and relaxation. Oh and did I mention that while we were researching ARTIC FOX prior to the purchase that Artic Spas Parskville was helpful, friendly and very supportive!!!! Thank YOU all at Parskville Store especially Sabrina BOYLE!!!!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the feedback Louise and for telling your story! Super happy that you were able to get a refurbished tub (They're rare!) that suits your needs and hope that it continues to provide you years of rest and relaxation! We appreciate you mentioning our wonderful staff and especially Sabrina, as she's truly a Smartfriend! Tub looks great in your photos! Happy Tubbing!

We were in Arctic Spa Parksville and met Sabrina (saleswoman). She was absolutely pleasant, helpful and very welcoming. we can’t say enough good about her. If you are on the fence about an Arctic spa hot tub, just do yourself a favour now and invest in this brand (and a salt water system!). You won’t regret it!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the recommendation Mike! Sabrina is the best, isn't she?! We appreciate you taking the time to post. Happy Tubbing!

We just bought a new home with a Yukon Arctic Spa. We went to Arctic Spas in Parksville and met Sabrina who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful . I would highly recommend anyone to reach out to Artic Spas to assist in any information you may require to keep your spa operating efficiently.
Response from the owner:Christina, thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your experience in Parksville with Sabrina. So glad she was able to help you better understand the spa that you got with your new home. (You are super lucky to have an Arctic Spa already there!) Feel free to drop by any of our locations or call us anytime if you have any follow up questions. In the meantime...Happy Tubbing!

We are in the deciding stage of buying a hot tub or spa and we are pretty keen on salt water so we have been dealing with Arctic Spa. We drove to Parksville to wet test a tub and Sabrina helped us so much. Her knowledge and care was outstanding even though we will be dealing locally. She answered all of our questions and encouraged us to try multiple options. She explained the full line up of tubs and clarified the information on salt water upkeep. Her representation of the company and its products was outstanding. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the positive feedback on your experience at our Parksville location and in particular, Sabrina. We are happy that see was able to help you navigate your choices, answer your questions and help you with your decision. We are proud that our team works so well with one another regardless of which location is your “local” store. Happy Tubbing!
4 Hot tub showrooms on Vancouver Island:
We have four showrooms spread across Vancouver Island to serve you best. This includes spas that you can actually “Wet Test!” This means you can bring your swim trunks and try it out!
While we can demonstrate some things on our website with pictures and video, it is sometimes hard to express the clean smell of a saltwater spa…or feel the satin smooth texture of our latest acrylic called Polar White…or experience the soothing waters of a saltwater system. How about experiencing swimming into the powerful jets of a swim spa…or simply, getting a FREE deep massage from an Arctic Spas SDS seat?
These can only be experienced in person!
We have four locations evenly spread from Victoria on the South island to Campbell River up North so that you can experience one near you!
What we have available at each location varies. Please contact us first to arrange a time and allow us to check the status of what we have available to test at either location!
Tap the Phone number below, or on John’s image holding the cell phone to go to our Contacts Page and fill out a short form. There, you can select your desired location. We can sometimes meet after hours with a pre-arranged appointment! Just ask!
