Fishing Adventures & Marine Eco-Tourism
in the Sooke Region


Fishing in Sooke

Sooke is widely known as a pacific salmon fishing hotspot. Large salmon runs frequent these waters off Vancouver Island year-round. From Sooke to Port Renfrew, this region boasts Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho (Silver), and Winter Spring Salmon, in addition to incredible Halibut fishing. Sooke gets many visitors from around the globe that return year after year to enjoy the Sooke region, and catch another 'big one'!

Sooke has several local marinas for launching and mooring your boat, or if you'd rather, enlist the expertise of one of the local charter fishing companies. Charters are popular because the local fishing guides are experienced in our waters, and know the tips and tricks, and the best places to catch big fish!

Turn your next vacation into a fabulous westcoast fishing adventure in Sooke!


Whale Watching

The waters off Vancouver Island are rich with marine life, and offer awesome viewing of orcas (killer whales), minke whales, sealions, sea otters and marine birds, such as eagles and herons. The coast near Port Renfrew is a natural nesting area for puffins. The local whale watching guides keep up with the direction the orca pods are travelling each day, and offer respectful viewing of the 'killer whales'. Regulations are in place to ensure the safety and comfort of both the whale watching passengers and the whales.

If you have never heard the barking of sealions in their natural habitat, or seen their antics up close, an adventure to Race Rocks is an awesome treat. Race Rocks is a protected ecological area that has been compared to the Galapagos Islands. Race Rocks is viewable only by boat... your whale watching guide know exactly where to go!

Local whale watching and charter fishing companies are listed below.
