Outdoor Adventures
The ultimate soft adventure destination, you can choose an activity to suit
your sense of adventure and still be back in time for dinner. Oak Bay is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors at any time of year.
If ocean adventure is what you crave try a kayaking or sailing adventure. Half
day and full day trips are poplar and Discovery and Chatham Islands are favorite
destinations. World-class fishing charters depart from the Oak Bay Marina and guides will take you to their favorite spots
for reeling in the big ones. Take a whale
watching tour and get to know our resident and transient orcas as well as
the abundance of wildlife on our coast. You may even catch a glimpse of our
world-famous Cadborosaurus!
If you prefer to remain on firm ground try hiking in one of Oak Bay’s
many nature parks or cycle the picturesque residential neighborhoods or scenic
route along the waterfront. Birding is a year-round
activity and golfers are proud
to say they hit the greens 365 days a year in Oak Bay. For a relaxing afternoon
try a self-guided walking tour that winds
though quiet streets, hidden lanes and pleasant trails. Allow lots of time for
independent exploration.
If you can’t decide between land and sea, take a trip to Discovery
Island. Spend the day exploring the island’s trails and lighthouse
and spend the night camping under the stars.
For a truly unique Oak Bay experience drop by Oak Bay’s Lawn
Bowling Club to watch a game or throw a few bowls. Visitors are always welcome.
