West Coast Outdoor Adventure
6971 West Coast Rd V9Z 0V1 Sooke, BC, Canada

Grocery shopping Sooke style! Kayaking up to the Eliza Joy (boat) at the Gov't Dock to get some tuna from John during a sunset paddle tonight! #sooke #hobie #Kayak #WestCoastOutdoor #fish #tuna

An "adventure" does not have to be an endeavor that requires loads of planning and/or gear to take to a far off place... Trying something new on your doorstep can be just as rewarding! This morning's cold water dip at the Boardwalk in Sooke! #sooke #decemberdip #WestCoastOutdoor #coldwater

Another day - another dip! Todd Creek Waterfall , Sooke Potholes Park! I'm sure there's some hot springs around here somewhere! #decemberdip #coldwater #waterfall #WestCoastOutdoor #sooke #PotholesPark

Taking the gym outside! Kayaks, paddleboards and bikes... With variations of all three! I'll endeavour to do something each day! It's not the latitude... It's the attitude!

Kemp Lake dip... Rainy day, water temp 7-8oC. #Sooke #ColdWater #Swim #DecemberDip

A chilly one this morning! Anyone guess where this is? #ColdWater #Waterfall #Sooke #swim

Check this great study out... https://bit.ly/31WkzEp - CO2 comparison with Bikes vs E-bikes vs walking vs cars (fossil & electric) and buses! Takes into account production, food, and disposal/recycling, processes - it's a bit of a read but surprising results!

Take the gym outside! With our kayaks you can pedal OR paddle, E-Bikes and regular bikes, paddleboards that are step propelled or paddle we've got your whole body covered for fitness - just may need a coat on occasion! #TakeTheGymOutside #workout #Excersise #Health #excercisedaily #WestCoastOutdoor #Sooke

A Whale of a time kayaking today. Several Humpbacks sitting just a few hundred meters off the shore. (the pic of the whales blowhole as it surfaced so close - the camera's zoom is all the way "out" - made my jump for sure!) Also porpoises, sea lions, and of course seals! #Sooke #Kayaking #westcostoutdoor #Hobie Sooke Region Museum SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort Sooke Harbour Resort & Marina Destination Greater Victoria #rentals

Extend your ride and crush the hills with one of our e-bikes. This afternoon's ride from the Humpback Resivoir to Sooke Lake Rd (nr southern end of Shawnigan Lake) AND BACK in just over 2 hours. It's a steep and hilly section of the trail here! #ebikes #rentals #GiantBikes #Sooke #GreatTrail #WestCoastOutdoor

This morning's December dip! -Sooke Bluffs, Strait of Juan de Fuca. #westcoastbestcoast #WestCoastOutdoor #Sooke #ColdWater

HUGE at Sombrio Point yesterday. Make it full screen! Trying to find pics to put this in perspective - the "outcrop" rock/point is in the region of 7-8m high - sure got the heart racing just watching! This wasn't the biggest of the visit - we had one that completely blocked the sun when it broke! would NOT want to be washed into that! #Storm #Waves #Sombrio #WestCoastOutdoor #stormwatching

Todd Creek Trestle "open" (possibly!). A few orange marker tapes and some half gates ( open) still remain, but I'd say the bypass trail is open at least. A ride there tonight with a walk to Mary Vine Falls! #sooke #westcoastoutdoor #bike #GallopingGoose #waterfall #BikeRentals

HUGE at Sombrio Point yesterday. Trying to find pics to put this in perspective - the "outcrop" rock/point is in the region of 7-8m high - sure got the heart racing just watching! Check ot the look on Hollie's face - says it all! #Storm #Waves #Sombrio #WestCoastOutdoor #stormwatching

A trip to the USA and back today (well... just over the invisible border anyway!) Hobie Tandem Island sailing.Happy Thanksgiving all. Apparently.. HE has right of way! #BigBully #Hobie #TandemIsland #sookebc #WestCoastOutdoor

I'm the worst hiker... I'm either analysing whether I could ride my bike on this trail, or thinking that it would be cool to be kayaking all the coasts! East Sooke Park hike today - including watching humpbacks from the shore! #hiking #EastSooke #whale #humpbackwhale #WestCoastOutdoor

Meet "Nibbler". We went paddleboarding this morning and was met by this bold seal pup! We hung out for over an hour.. Nibbler nibbled on our paddles & board fins, twice put his head up on Hollie's board as of about to climb on, grabbed the paddles with his flippers and generally just played with us... ( Just 5-10m off Whiffen Spit beach) Then followed us 2/3rds of the way back to the dock - sooooo cool! More pics in comments!

Chatting with the locals... We asked "what's you opinion on the main US and BC election issues"? Wow... Did THEY let us know what they thought! Google translate couldn't quite manage it! Ideas anyone? #SeaLion #Sooke #Kayak #Hobie #WestCoastOutdoor

An after work ride tonight - with a swim! (see vid in comments!) Clockwise loop from John Phillips Park in Sooke, to Charters Creek Trail (swim), to Sea To Sea Park, then trails back down to parking lot, g to Galloping Goose back to Sooke! 23km, an hour forty riding, 2 hours including swim and stops for pics! #sooke #BikeRental #MTB #GallopingGoose #Harbourview

The Islands of Sooke! Sunrise hike to the top of Mt Manual Quimper this morning - the fog turn the East Sooke Hills into Islands, the smoke turn the sun red! #Sooke #fog #WestCoastOutdoor #Islands #hike #adventure

I don't think it's the best evening for a late paddle in Sooke! #fog #Sooke #WestCoastOutdoor #Adventure

So THIS is what everyone else has been experiencing when they've rented kayaks from us this year! With things quietening down a bit I got to get out for a quick paddle before work this morning! Smoke or no smoke - it's a beautiful place to be. #Hobie #westcoastbestcoast #kayaklife #WestCoastOutdoor

A pastel painted seal. We know summer's drawing to a close when the seals hang out on the docks a lot more - sometimes not even moving out of the way as we walk past!
