Sooke – 'The northern hemisphere’s New Zealand'

nature, but I don’t quibble—on the remote, southwest coast of Vancouver Island, the flora and fauna is weird.

Our family travelled to the island from the interior by car and ferry to spend a few days in and around the harbor town of Sooke. Though we’re just a 30-minute drive from the manicured gardens and tea rooms of the province’s capital city, the vibe west of Victoria couldn’t be wilder. I think she means we should remember to wash our hands and stand six feet apart, but we should probably also stop stepping on slugs and dropping crabs, just to be safe!

Port Renfrew is the jumping off point for both of Vancouver Island’s famous hikes—the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail to the southeast and the West Coast Trail to the northwest—so there’s a kind of hipster-meets-mountaineer feel to the place. That is to say, you can get an excellent cup of coffee or stellar cocktail, but you’re off-the-grid enough that there’s no cell service and you have to pass over four, single-lane bridges to get to town.
