WHY CHOOSE RENFREW?

Within easy reach of Victoria, Port Renfrew is welcoming, affordable, and wild as you like. Here, you live through your senses: Cedar. Sea spray. Wood smoke. You move with the seasons, currents and tides.

This is your gateway to ancient forests, epic hikes, and mighty surf — from eagles and Chinook salmon to Sitka spruce and giant Douglas fir. From here, you can trek, paddle, comb the beaches, or cast your line.

 Whale Watching Postponed Until 2024

Experience the rush of adventure as you zip across the ocean in an open air zodiac while whales spout and eagles soar above you. Explore with the talented and knowledgeable Orca Spirit team and perhaps you’ll even see black bears playing hide and seek in the Old Growth forests along the coastline. Our open ocean excursions are on pause for 2023 while we undergo some changes and upgrades, but they will be back in June of 2024.

Play in True Nature

This is the place West Coasters come to feel West Coast, to be surrounded by the things that define us – things we carry deep inside. Wilderness runs in our veins. In peak season you can book your West Coast excursions right on-site. Go Whale Watching or book a Fishing Charter to experience our wild coast. Wild Renfrew is yours to discover.

Renfrew Pub

We’ve pulled up our bootstraps when it comes to great eats. You’ll find crisp craft brews waiting on tap and menus right for anglers, surfers, kiddies and vegans. Don’t worry, we haven’t turned our backs on a good ol’ fish and chips. Hearty favourites are on the menu, too.
