We recently moved to Duncan and wanted to become first-time spa owners. We did a lot of research online, we watched for deals both in refurbished and new tubs, and we sat in a lot of tubs in showrooms. We went with the Be Well M420 spa (Canadian-made in Quebec!) from Artic Spas Vancouver Island (Duncan). We're thrilled with the way this brand has insulated wall panels rather than spray foam insulation on the tub. This makes it MUCH easier to access the components if repairs are needed on hoses or jets. Also love the reinforced, self-supporting fiberglass shell on the tub that allows heat generated by the pumps to be transferred into the tub. We really wanted a salt-water system as it does feel so nice on the skin, and this tub is set-up with a straight-forward salt-water system from the start (not a conversion.) And of course having 73 jets is awesome, and we've been loving the multiple height seats as we move around the tub. We had an absolutely fantastic customer service experience from Marc Gibeau -- he really knows his stuff and took the time to go through all the details on the spas in a friendly and knowledgeable but not-pushy way. Solid, responsive communication from Tania Gray resulted in a delivery date for our in-stock spa in under two weeks, in time for our family arriving for the holidays! Paul and his delivery team were on-time, efficient and ensured the tub was placed exactly where we wanted it. We have a very steep gravel driveway, but they made it look effortless. And I want to give special recognition to our Service Tech Eric Aasen who took the time to explain how everything worked, from the controls to water balancing so that we feel confident in running our the tub to prolong its lifespan. We have been using our new tub every day and are so very happy with it. If you're waffling about a new spa, Artic Spas Vancouver Island is the right choice. And yes, this is a completely independent review without perks or compensation. We're just genuinely happy customers.
Response from the owner:Wow Nicki, that is a great review. Thanks for taking the time to post and for sharing your experience. So happy that our team was able to find you the right spa and to get it set up quickly so you can have that much more fun during the holidays & for the rest of the year too! We will be sure to let the staff know that you were pleased. Happy Tubbing!

Eric and Paul did an amazing job of placing and setting up our new hot tub, as well as instructing us on how to monitor and maintain it. It’s been a real pleasure working with all the staff at Arctic Spas in Duncan. We’re looking forward to many soaks in our new salt water spa.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the positive feedback Shauney, we will let the fellas know you were happy with their performance. Happy Tubbing!

Purchased a new hot tub 5 years ago. Amazing experience. Recently went back to get some supplies. Jenny was super helpful and great to deal with. Really nice to see Artic spas is still such a great local business.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve been enjoying your hot tub for the past five years and that Jenny was able to help you out on your recent visit. We love hearing from long time customers and it means a lot to us that we've earned your trust. We look forward to seeing you again!
Gordon Jandric fixed our hot tub with tremendous expertise. So great to see calibration consistently and grateful for his service. I highly recommend Gordon if you are having difficulty with your Spa Boy readings. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the excellent feedback, we agree Goran is an absolute expert! Sometimes it can be tricky to get Spaboy dialed in just right, so we are happy he was able to help you. Happy Tubbing!

We had a technician (Duncan) come to our place on Salt Spring. Duncan was very thorough in his approach and we appreciated his care and attention to detail.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the great review! We are glad to hear Duncan provided such thorough service and attention to detail. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Happy Tubbing!

Sabrina was so friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the products. She was very accommodating for us to come and try out the swim spa (on more than one occasion). The swim spa we tested was the Hudson. It was a very nice unit. Spacious, with enough room for someone to swim while someone is sitting in the lounger. The 2 seats had good jets. Each targeted different areas. The one lounger seat side was more preferable with the jet placing. I was able to test out swimming with the tether (which is something I thought I wouldn’t like before trying), but it was good. Something very different than lane swimming (which is what I am used to), but still has the ability to provide a good workout in my opinion. I also tried swimming with the large jet running at the end of the tub. Which I didn’t enjoy as much. Swimming with the jet alone would not be enough counter current in my opinion (depending on your level of swimming). But swimming with the tether and the jet going, or just the tether alone would be good. Overall both my husband and I liked the spa. Seems like they are a very well built and functioning product. Overall had a wonderful experience with Sabrina:)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Sabrina. She truly takes pride in making sure every customer feels comfortable, informed, and confident (and we’re glad you were able to come back and test the swim spa more than once!). It’s great to hear your feedback on the Hudson as well. Being able to both relax and swim at the same time is something we designed it for, so it’s awesome that you and your husband got to experience that balance firsthand. We also really appreciate your honest thoughts on the jet current vs. tether swimming—that kind of insight is incredibly valuable. You might be excited to hear that Arctic Spas is introducing a brand new 18' swim spa model called the Polar Bear, featuring our new Turbo Jet system. This system is significantly stronger, creates much less surface turbulence, and provides a smoother, more consistent current—making it easier to swim against while also helping with body positioning and buoyancy. It’s a big step forward for those looking for a more natural swim experience without relying as much on a tether. Thanks again for your kind words and for spending the time with us! We’re so happy you had a wonderful experience with Sabrina and our swim spas!

John was very helpful with advice on appropriate chemicals for our hot tub. Saved us cost and provided a better routine for keeping the tub balanced.
Response from the owner:We’re so glad to hear John was able to help! Finding the right chemical routine makes all the difference in keeping your spa balanced and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and Happy Tubbing!

Picked up our ocean swim spa this April. So far everything is going great. Love the versatility of a spa that works for swimming but doubles as a huge hot tub when desired. Jenny in Victoria was great helping us choose the right one. The Aquafun team from Crofton was super helpful with the installation (Paul and Charles) while Duncan stayed and took the time to set it all up while teaches us about its maintenance and endless functions. We’ve been using almost daily.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for choosing us for your Ocean Swim Spa. We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving the versatility of the Ocean All Weather Pool and already getting so much use out of it. Being able to enjoy it for both swimming and relaxing is exactly what makes these swim spas so special. The team will be so glad to hear about your positive experience and hearing that you’ve been using it almost daily is the best feedback we could ask for. Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your story. Happy Tubbing!

Jenny in Victoria went the extra mile in her first few days working for Arctic Spas on Quadra St. I left without purchasing a product I needed for my annual salt water change that I was doing that day. Jenny had called me before I got too far away from the store and I was able to quickly turn around and come back. With her expertise she reminded me that I needed the Spa Boy Salt Cell and left without purchasing it. This quick call saved me that whole day in time and I was enjoying my hot tub again that evening. Thank you very much, Mike.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mike! We’re so glad Jenny was able to catch you in time and get you everything you needed for your salt water change. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Happy Tubbing!
Ryan, the Technician at Victoria Arctic Spas, was very helpful and easy to talk to. He located spa parts... for my Glacier spa. Thanks Ryan.

My wife and I recently purchased an “Arctic Fox” Spa from the good people at Arctic Spa Duncan. We couldn’t be happier with how everything has turned out, from the quality of the product, to the great level of service we received from their friendly and helpful staff. The level of support during the final setup following the installation has been nothing short of exceptional. We worked directly with Richard and Steve from the Crofton store location, which goes by name Aquafun Spa & Pool. This location is a service and distribution partner to the Duncan location. We would recommend the services provided by this partnership, for everything from Spa acquisition to the end operation of your Spa. Once our Spa setup was complete, we took a sample of our water to “Steve” in Crofton, where he generated a detailed water analysis within minutes. This provided a very detailed outlined on how to treat our water. Everything we needed was supplies in-store and at a very reasonable price. The Spa we chose including the saltwater option, using the Onzen water treatment system. This system is well worth every penny! It is very gentle on your skin and doesn’t leaving you smelling like you were bathing in Chlorine. Its also a lot easier on you clothes and towels. The power of the Spa jets is absolutely phenomenal! My wife’s favourite is the foot message. 🙂 Where I enjoys the 6 powerful back massage jets to work out the knots and stress. Our teen-kids have been enjoying the Spa as much if not more than we have! More “quality family time” has been an unexpected and wonderful spin off benefit! Overall, the Spa itself has a very pleasing aesthetic, with its clean lines and warm Cedar finish. It is a fantastic addition to our home and we look forward to many more evenings under the moon in our new Spa. Again, we couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with ArcticSpa. We would without hesitation recommend this company to family and friends alike. If you’re on the fence about it, do it! You won’t regret it.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jay, for that thorough review. We will be sure to let the team know that you were happy with their service. Love hearing how the whole family is enjoying the tub and that you are spending more quality time together. Happy Tubbing!

We have had our Wolverine since 2019 and we love it! We recently needed to schedule a diagnostic service call as a result of complications from a power outage. Eric was fantastic. He assessed the issue very quickly and fixed the problem. He was polite, informative and efficient. He was very knowledgeable and provided additional care and maintenance advice over and above fixing the original issue. Thank you for your excellent support and service!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re still loving your Wolverine after all these years. We really appreciate you trusting us to help when that power outage caused issues. Eric will be so happy to hear your feedback, he’s fantastic. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, and for choosing Arctic Spas. Happy Tubbing!

We bought a used Arctic Wolverine, but from the service we get from Arctic Spas Duncan, you would have thought we bought 3 tubs and ordered 4 more!!! They greet us by name, give us excellent advice, always have the items we need in stock, and spend as much time required with us, we never feel rushed!! Love this store!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your Arctic Wolverine and that our Duncan team has made you feel so supported. We'll be sure to pass your message along to the team—they'll be so happy to hear it! Happy Tubbing!

Although we were extremely disappointed with the 2 month delay for delivery of our new hot tub, we were very pleased with on-site delivery/placement by Paul and the installation and customer service of Eric.
Response from the owner:Sorry to hear about the delay for your hot tub, it happens sometime when we custom order for sure, but luckily less and less lately. Glad the team was able to get you up and running. We will let Eric and Paul know you were happy with their customer service. Happy Tubbing!

I had an issue with the YESS system on my 2022 Kodiak and I reached out to John, the owner, for advice. John could not have been nicer. He quickly responded to me, providing videos and taking me through the procedure to set the valves correctly inside the shell. It turns out that the valves had been misaligned for the entire 2.5 years I’ve owned the tub and the YESS system was not operating anywhere near full efficiency. He helped me avoid a service call. He saved me money. Here’s the thing. I reached out to him blindly. I live in the US and didn’t buy my tub from him. He didn’t have to do any of this. This is how I know he’s a good person. This is the dealer you want to buy from. One who is truly in it to ensure his customers are happy with what they’ve purchased and that they’re getting everything out of what they’ve purchased. John is good people. He takes care of his customers. He’s obviously there when you need him. If you’re in B.C. and looking for a hot tub, this is the guy you need to buy from. You’ll be getting a great tub, first off, but for as long as you own it you’ll have stand-up support. Thats getting harder and harder to find these days.
Response from the owner:Wow! (Blush) Thanks for the amazing review Jim. Glad we were able to help you out! 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!
