Find us on the BC Bird Trail!
BC Bird Trails were developed as the leading source of information on attractions, activities, and accommodations related to birdwatching travel in BC. Through easy-to-follow itineraries, they encourage respectful travel through the province as folks from all backgrounds discover the super, natural wonders of birding.
Since launching in September 2020, the BC Bird Trail has grown to include 28 bird trail itineraries throughout the Kootenay Rockies, Northern BC, Thompson Okanagan, Vancouver, Coast & Mountains, and Vancouver Island regions.
Nestled within its stunning natural beauty, Sooke welcomes bird enthusiasts to explore thriving birding hotspots. From the shores of Sooke Basin to the trails winding through its pristine forests, every corner promises a unique avian encounter.
