A word or two on your excursion:
A word or two on safety:
The charming rural community of Sidney does a bustling charter fishing business. No wonder - there's good line and trap fishing just offshore, and it's a convenient launch point for Saanich Inlet and the Gulf Islands. Even the line and trap fishing off the town pier is good! You can expect spectacular scenery and plentiful wildlife in all these locations: whales, porpoises, sea lions and eagles are common sights in and around these waters.
Sidney is a 30-minute drive north from downtown Victoria via Highway 17.
The Inner Harbour is located within easy walking distance of downtown Victoria. Oak Bay Marina is a 20-minute drive east from downtown Victoria.
