Nighttime in Sooke and its surroundings

Nestled on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Sooke is a Canadian gem, surrounded by natural beauties on the one hand and dynamic cities on the other.

The to-do-list in Sooke and the surroundings is really rich and exciting, with sightseeing tours and leisure activities during the day and clubs, casinos and restaurants for fun nights out.

The District of Sooke is the perfect destination if you want to spend a relaxing weekend in a rural environment, without giving up the amenities of a modern city. In fact, it boasts great accommodations, top-rated restaurants and shops, as well as amazing parks, rainforests and beautiful beaches.

You are surely not going to get bored while staying in Sooke; you can start the day with a walk on the beach, spend the afternoon hiking and exploring East Sooke Regional Park’s ancient coastal rainforest, and maybe pamper yourself at one of Sooke’s spas before enjoying your night out gambling or clubbing.

If you don’t feel like going out but you prefer staying in relaxing in one of the many hotels or cottages of the District, you can always spend a nice time in the lounge - many facilities offer activities for the night, you might want to check them out. Otherwise, if you like to check some of the many casinos in the surroundings but you don’t feel like leaving the hotel, you can always use their free wi-fi and play online games easily from your smartphone.
