Rising Star Vacation Homes : Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Fishing

Enjoy the excitement of fishing with some of the top guides Vancouver Island has to offer. All our Sooke guides will pick you up at the Government Wharf. If you like fishing Pacific Salmon, you can't miss the opportunity to drop a line with Sidetrack Fishing Charters or 2 Reel Fishing Adventures.

And what about Port Renfrew? Russell Hicks owns and operates Swiftsure Fishing Charters. Russ will take you out to the Swiftsure Bank and show you an experience you won't forget. When you get back to Renfrew relax at Western Escapes – The Eagles View, Crows Nest, Starboard Suite or stay in the Port Suite. Great rates, magnificent Canadian fishing. Come for the fun, stay for the experience.

Also check out the informative Port Renfrew Fishing Adventures website for their ongoing fishing report and recipes for what to do with your catch!

Crabbing

Looking for fresh Crab for your dinner? On the recently built "Rotary Pier" you can catch your own right off the dock and Eagle Eye Wilderness Company can supply you with a net and bait. Remember to get a license and the Dungeness must be a minimum 6 ½ inches.

Whale Watching & Marine Tours

You say we don't wanna fish!.... but maybe you wanna see Orca, gray, and humpback whales, seals, sea lions, otters, porpoise, and eagles? Seeing an Orca (nicknamed "Killer Whale") is possibly the most exciting close encounter you can have.

Sooke Coastal Explorations offers daily scheduled trips May through October on a 12 passenger rigid-hulled zodiac. Floatation suits are provided. We can also book this exciting whale and wildlife watching experience for you. Bring your camera!
