Discover Sooke

Met with Allen, owner and guide with West Coast Outdoor Adventure Rentals, and learned all about his Hobie style inflatable kayaks that he is renting from his office at Sooke Harbour Resort and Marina.

I had never seen these types of boats before and it takes all of 5 minutes to take it out of the carrying case, inflate it and head off on your adventure around the Sooke Region.

He typically launches most people for a leasuire cruise or to explore the vast amounts of coves and beachs right from the boat launch at the marina but can be delivered to your choice of locations around Sooke.

He says a lot of the guests at the marina are enjoying the fact that they can take out these inflatable kayaks, are extremely seaworthy and safe and are easily “paddled” with the feet. You need not any experience with a kayak and almost all fears of tipping  over are gone.

People can even fish off it, it’s that sturdy. There is video of Allen on YouTube paddling the Hobie in the strait in some heavy seas, surfing the waves. Sturdy and rugged, these are the kayaks are perfect for beginners and experts alike.

What a way to spend a day or evening in the Sooke area.
