East Sooke Park Coastal Hiking Tour with a Bite and Beer

Begin your adventure with a convenient pick-up in downtown Victoria aboard "Rosie," a van named in honor of the very first guest. With small group sizes of up to 8 people, enjoy a personalized and intimate experience. The trip takes you along the coast through scenic Metchosin and then out to East Sooke Park.

We will take you to a stunning section of East Sooke Park, where you'll hike amidst lush rainforest, rugged coastline, with breathtaking ocean vistas. Keep your eyes peeled for seals, whales, and a variety of seabirds. This section of the trail offers a mix of terrain, from gentle strolls to more challenging climbs, with panoramic viewpoints at every turn. Hikers on this trail can view ancient petroglyphs etched into the rock. Elders of the Becher Bay First Nation share a legend about one carving, a giant seal believed to be an elephant seal. They say this creature served as a "game-warden," safeguarding ocean species from overfishing. On warm days it is possible to cool off with a dip in the ocean (pack sandals!).

After your invigorating hike, head to a historic local pub, renowned for its colorful past and charm. Enjoy delicious light fare, a refreshing pint, and connect with fellow hikers, sharing stories and laughter.

After visiting the pub we head back to the Seaplane terminal in Victoria. This culminates a rich experience where you will have met new friends and hiked some amazing trails.
