Located in the rugged and scenic Sooke region of British Columbia, West Coast Outdoor Adventure offers a fresh way to navigate some of the area’s most celebrated cycling routes. Their 2 Hour Bike Rentals provide access to both sleek E-bikes and robust Mountain bikes, each designed to suit different rider ambitions along the diverse trails that define this coastal landscape.
The centerpiece of this experience is the Galloping Goose Trail, a former railway line turned 56-kilometer multi-use path that begins just minutes from West Coast Outdoor Adventure’s headquarters at 6971 West Coast Rd.
