If you liked the looks of our recent road trip through the BC Interior, check out this in depth trip through the Pacific Marine Circle Route. Less driving, more adventure!
I can help you find accommodations along the way, and set you up with the right rental vehicle for the backroads!
I used to take guests on guided hikes in the Sooke-Port Renfrew areas when I ran The Natural Connection, so I can also suggest which hike stops would be best for your group.
This whole route is "paved" but that pavement is getting pretty rough between Sooke and Lake Cowichan... So this isnt a fast paced road trip, but thats part of the appeal 👌

Drive the Pacific Marine Circle Route in 4 days. Victoria to Sooke, Port Renfrew, Lake Cowichan, and back with beaches, waterfalls, old-growth forests, and honest stops.
