Sooke Vacations, Sooke Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

The warm, welcoming community of 11,000 people is situated between a wild, towering rainforest and the dramatic Pacific Ocean. Not well known, as we dont appear on most maps, but If you are in the area, there are a couple places you have to visit. Sooke offers visitors the untamed but comfortable experience that Vancouver Island's far west coast is famous for.

Hiking is argueably Sooke's greatest attraction. East Sooke Regional Park is considered one of the premier day use parks in Canada. Encompassing 1,422 hectares (3,512 acres) of ancient coastal rainforest, the wilderness reserve offers marine trails suitable for young families and expert hikers alike.

With the Galloping Goose Trail cycling from Victoria is a reality. The Sooke portion of the 100-kilometre former railway line features views of Juan de Fuca Straight and the 12,000-foot high Olympic Mountains. On the Goose you can cycle, walk, in-line skate, wheelchair, push a stroller or ride a horse.

Sooke Harbour contains a wealth of coves and bays that happily lend themselves to exploration by kayak or sail.
